- Title
Pedagogy and Punishment: Distinguishing Between Erudire and Iniuria in Roman Education and Law.
- Authors
Logan, Barbara Ellen
- Abstract
Both Quintilian and Martial joke about the schoolboy's horror of the virga magistri.1 While erudire 2 includes forcing out “rudeness" in its etymology, this paper seeks to examine when, where, and why accepted methods of physically disciplining free-born children tipped over into inuria 3 and delict.4 The dignitas 5 of a citizen was understood to guarantee protection from physical assault of any kind; consequently allowances for the beating of children as part of education is fraught with social and legal significance.
