Roman Father

Welcome to Rome

In Roman times your dad was the most important member of the family. He had all the power, even of life or death over everyone. When a new baby was born it would be laid at its fathers feet - if the father picked up the baby it would live, and if he ignored the baby it would be taken and left in the street to die or to be taken in by another family.
