Roman families were infinitely diverse, but the basis of Roman
civil law was the familia, a strictly-defined group consisting of a
head, paterfamilias, and his descendants in the male line. Recent
work on the Roman family mainly ignores the familia, in favour of
examining such matters as emotional relationships within families,
the practical effects of control by a paterfamilias, and
demographic factors producing families which did not fit the
familia-pattern. This book investigates the interrelationship
between family and familia, especially how families exploited the
legal rules for their own ends, and disrupted the familia, by use
of emancipation (release from patria potestas) and adoption. It
also traces legal responses to the effects of demographic factors,
which gave increased importance to maternal connections, and to
social, such as the difficulties for ex-slaves in conforming to the
familia-pattern. The familia as a legal institution remained
virtually unchanged; nevertheless Roman family law underwent
substantial changes, to meet the needs and desires of Roman
society.
