Ἀίτια Ῥωμαϊκά

Ἀίτια Ῥωμαϊκά Plutarch
29 Or is it a token that the woman may not go forth of her own accord and abandon her home if she be not constrained, just as it was under constraint that she entered it? So likewise among us in Boeotia they burn the axle of the bridal carriage before the door, signifying that the bride must remain, since her means of departure has been destroyed.
30 Why do they, as they conduct the bride to her home, bid her say, Where you are Gaius, there am I Gaia Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia. ?
30 Is her entrance into the house upon fixed terms, as it were, at once to share everything and to control jointly the household, and is the meaning, then, Wherever you are lord and master, there am I lady and mistress? These names are in common use also in other connexions, just as jurists speak of Gaius Seius and Lucius Titius, John Doe and Richard Roe. and philosophers of Dion and Theon. Cf.Moralia, 1061 c.
30 Or do they use these names because of Gaia Caecilia,Probably not the same as Tanaquil, wife of Tarquinius Priscus; but Cf. Pliny, Natural History, viii. 48 (194). consort of one of Tarquini sons, a fair and virtuous woman, whose statue in bronze stands in the temple of Sanctus?We should probably emend to Sancus; the same mistake is made in the mss. of Propertius, iv. 9. 71-74, where see the excellent note of Barber and Butler. And both her sandals and her spindle were, in ancient days, dedicated there as tokens of her love of home and of her industry respectively.
