This is a sociologic study of the role of the Roman Familia in
legal and commercial transactions in classical times. The Roman
"family" included slaves and freedmen as well as wives, children and
relatives and served as the basis for legal and quasi-legal activities. In this
study, socio-economic data sheds light on the legal aspects of the extended
family.
