The roman family

The Roman family, or "familia," encompassed not just the nuclear family but also extended relatives, slaves, and household gods known as "Penates." At the center of Roman life was the paterfamilias, the male head of the household, who held considerable authority. Family and religion intertwined deeply, with household gods providing protection and ensuring prosperity. Understanding the dynamics of Roman family life offers insights into their social structure, values, and everyday practices, which were foundational to Roman culture.
