Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that D.32.60.2 Alf. 2 dig. a Paul. epitomat. can confirm the validity of several archaeological and ancient reconstructions according to which during the late republic and the imperial age animal and vegetable fibers, including those that were purple coloured, were worked at home, for both family and commercial needs. But this essay will also try to ascertain the legal meaning of the provision described in D.32.60.2 which falls within the category of legacies concerning the so-called ‘id quod uxoris causa paratum est’.
