How was the ancient Roman family organized?

History
1 answer:
Arturiano [62]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: In ancient Roman families, the father had complete control over all members of the family.

Roman society was essentially based on the family as the fundamental pillar of society, and within it men, the father of the family, exercised totalitarian control over all its members. Thus a patriarchy was exercised, in which the father of the family (called pater familias) had absolute power over it.

The powers of the pater familias as head of the house varied. The word of the pater familias was considered irrevocably final. According to the archaic law of the twelve tables, the pater familias exercised the vitae necisque potestas - the power over life and death - over the members of the family. Under certain circumstances he was allowed to kill his children, his slaves or his wife. However, this right was restricted by social control.

irina [24]

The proclamation of 1763 came out of the Treaty of Paris after the Seven Years War, so the British could incorporate lands ceded by the French as a result of their loss. The stationery soldiers were to establish a boundary between the new lands and the lands of the Native American, and to protect the colonizers forms their attacks.

The colonizers were unhappy because they lost the chance to get lands for their own, and because they couldn't commerce freely with the Native. Britain could have left the colonizers to adventure in strange lands and be massacred by the Native Americans, but couldn't afford to lose power over this new lands, over the colonizers and the Native.
