How many years did the average roman live?

Answer 1

Like everyone else, the Romans lived for the lifetime of human beings. In those days life expectancy was shorter and most people did not live much longer than 40 years. The history of ancient Rome lasted about 1200 years

Answer 2

The ancient Romans had a fairly decent life span for their time. A poor freeborn person might live to about 50. The wealthy, with better food and medical care, lived much longer. Augustus, who had been sickly almost all his life, died at almost seventy-five. His wife, Livia, lived into her eighties. Marc Antony and Julius Caesar were both in their mid-fifties when they died, but their lives were cut short. A slave could not be freed until he reached the age of thirty, so there must have been a fairly long life expectancy after freedom, because we hear of very wealthy freedmen who reached their financial status after they were freed.
