Roman Families

Since I do not actually have my book to use, I will still attept to write about Roman families with the power of Google.

Back in Ancient Rome, family life was not what it is like today. In Rome, the man is the dominant and powerful sex. This also comes into play in the role of the family. The Men were so dominant, that if they were angry with their child, they could legally disown, or even kill them. As the counter part to the men, there were the women. Women did not have much say in the family life, and more so obeyed what they were asked. They were married in their teenage years to older men, and they bared children to continue on the family name. Today's families are a lot different. In the family, usually everyone has a say. The mother and the father both have power and responsibility in raising children if they have any.

There is my attempted, no book, information on Roman families. enjoy
