In ancient Rome<\/a>, the father of the family (pater familias<\/a><\/em>) was a person with exceptional social rights. Among other things, he had the right to decide even about the lives of other family members. <\/p>\n

It is natural that in practice it was not decided to die a son or daughter for a trivial reason. What’s more, the father could always count on his private council of advisers, with whom he consulted all decisions. Her immediate family members and friends belonged to her.<\/p>\n

There were cases, however, when Roman law<\/a> clearly stated what a father should do, when his son betrayed “reason of state” or escaped from military service. An example of such a situation is the story of Aulus Fulvius from 63 BCE who convicted his son for joining the plot of Catiline<\/a>. He learned of his father’s decision when he was on his way home Catiline<\/a>. They mention this story: Cassius Dio, Salustius and Valerius Maximus. The young man was beheaded for his misconduct in accordance with Roman law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":37202,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kategorie_ciekawostek":[117],"class_list":["post-61388","ciekawostki","type-ciekawostki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorie_ciekawostek-society"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/61388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ciekawostki"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ciekawostki\/61388\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategorie_ciekawostek","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategorie_ciekawostek?post=61388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
