Family Life 2
|
(A) THE SON
Romans preferred sons to daughters because only sons could carry on the family name. If a couple was childless or had only daughters, they would adopt a son.
(B) THE FATHER
Fathers had the right to whip or jail their sons. They could even sell them as slaves. Few fathers were that cruel, but they were always strict.
