Patriarchical Roman Family - myth or reality
Abstract
The institution of the Roman family, in particular the family of Roman citizens,
appears to have been one of the fundaments of the stability of longevity of the sociopolitical
system of Ancient Rome, together with a well-trained army, effective administration
or the desire of receiving Roman citizenship on the part of Rome's provinces'
elite. In historiographical works on Rome, there appears a dogmatic concept of the
strong patriarchical Roman family, dominated by the despotic head of the family, i.e. the
father. However, as shown by comparative studies, the levels of life expectancy and the
death rate in the ancient times made it practically impossible for the head of the family
to have such a strong position.
