Roman families looked like any other family--old, young, short, tall, fat, skinny. Imagine a picture of a modern family, then think of them in Roman clothing and you'll have their physical appearance.

∙ 10y agoThe Roman family did not change much over time. it remained a patriarchal institution headed by the pater familias (fathers of the family/heads of the household) who had jurisdiction of their sons for life. When women got married they either came under the jurisdiction of their husbands or remained under that of their father depending on the kind of marriage (the former was more common). With rich families marriages were arranged and their purpose was to establish family alliances.Women could be forced to divorce and remarry, even if pregnant, if new alliances were formed. Men also divorced to form new alliances through marriage. The adoption of young male relatives was common.
