Technically the oldest male in the family was the "paterfamilias" and had all power, even of life and death over the family. All money and property, even of grown sons, belonged to him. The son was only allowed his own property if the father released him. But, even though they had this power, it was mostly only used in the very early days of the city. They were fathers and they loved their children and wanted to do anything to make their lives and their families better. However, in family councils or discussions the paterfamilias always had the last word and his advise was taken.
