Howwasfamilylifelike? IN EARLY TIMES, under the Kingdom and the Republic: (600 BCE to about 1c CE) Before the Imperial Age, in very early Roman times, a typical Roman family included unmarried children, married sons and their families, other relatives, and family slaves. Under the Kingdom, the ruler of the family was the oldest male. That could be the father, the grandfather, or perhaps even an uncle. His title was pater familias. The pater familias led religious ceremonies, taught his sons how to farm, and made all the important decisions. This word was law as far as his family was concerned. He owned the property, and had total authority, the power of life and death, over every member of his household. Even when his children became adults, he was still the boss. But, he was also responsible for the actions of any member of his household. He could order a child or an adult out of his house. If anyone in his household committed a crime, he could be punished for something his family did. It was not against the law for the head of the house to put a sick baby out to die or to sell members of his family into slavery. However, the Romans expected a pater familias to treat his family fairly. There were no laws to stop him from treating them unfairly, but there was social pressure.

Roman Kings! The first three kings of Rome - It was under the Roman Kings that the Roman ability to create an empire of sorts first came to the fore, even though any original intentions will hardly have been of an imperial nature. In all there was said to have been seven kings of Rome covering a period of over two hundred years. The first king of Rome was the mythical Romulus (753-715 BC), the fabled founder, was the first. To him is attributed the founding, the extension to four of the Roman hill, - the Capitoline, Aventine, Caelian and Quirinal -, and the infamous rape of the Sabine women.The second king of Rome, NumaPompilius (715-673 BC) , owing to the influence of his adviser, the nymph and prophetess Egeria, enjoyed a peaceful reign.The third king, however, TulliusHositilius (673 - 642 BC), was responsible for the destruction of Alba Longa and the removal of its inhabitants to Rome. With the literal destruction of this opponent they took over the sacred festivals of Latium and all the regional prestige and status that came with it.
