'Die Studie soll die vielfältigen Manifestationen von Bruder-Schwester-Verhalten zeigen, die charakterisiert werden durch familiäre Interaktion, Representation und Kooperation. Trotz der durch das römische Recht definierten strikt agnatischen Grenzen wurde die Rolle der römischen Frau als Schwester ihres Bruders sehr betont. Beispiele wie Scipio der Jüngere, Sempronia, die Schwester der Gracchen, Clodius und Clodia ebenso wie Octavian und Octavia zeigen wie Frauen zwei Familien miteinander verbanden - wie von dem Anthropologen C. Lévi-Strauss beschrieben. Die Beispiele demonstrieren außerdem die Kollision der Rollenverhalten der Frau als Ehefrau und als Schwester. Es konnte belegt werden, dass die Beziehung zwischen Bruder und Schwester stärker war als eine eheliche Verbindung. Die hoch affektive Ebene der Bruder-Schwester-Bindung ist am besten beschrieben bei dem Grammatiker Verrius Flaccus aus der späten Republik, der eine Schwester die 'amata' ihres Bruders nannte.'

'The purpose of this study is to show various manifestations of brotherly-sisterly behaviour characterized by familial interaction, representation, and cooperation. In spite of the strict agnatic boundaries defined by the Roman law, the role of the Roman woman as the sister of her brother was very pronounced. Examples such as Scipio the Younger, Sempronia the sister of the Gracchi, Clodius and Clodia, as well as Octavian and Octavia show how women linked two families - as described by the structural anthropologist C. Lévi-Strauss. They also demonstrate the collision of women's role behaviour as a wife and as a sister. The relationship between brother and sister could prove to be stronger than the matrimonial bond. The highly affectional level of the brother-sister bond is best described by the late republican grammatician Verrius Flaccus who called a sister the 'amata' of her brother.'
