Yes, the Romans did hold hostages as a political and military strategy. They often took hostages from conquered peoples or allied states to ensure loyalty and compliance. These hostages were typically members of the elite or nobility, and their safety was used as a guarantee for the good behavior of their families or communities. Holding hostages was a common practice in ancient warfare to maintain control and deter rebellion.
