Childhood in ancient Rome (original) (raw)

Property Value
dbo:abstract Childbirth in ancient Rome was dangerous for both the mother and the child. Mothers usually would rely on religious superstition to avoid death. Certain customs such as lying in bed after childbirth and using plants and herbs as relief were also practiced. Midwives assisted the mothers in birth. Once children were born they would not be given a name until 8 or 9 days after their birth. The number depended on if they were male or female. Once the days had past, the child would be gifted a name and a bulla during a ceremony. Once a child reached the age of 1, they would gain legal privileges which could lead to citizenship. Children 7 and under were considered infants, and were under the care of women. Children were expected to help with housework from age 8 until they reached adulthood at age 12 for girls, or 14 for boys. Children would often have a variety of toys to play with. If a child died they could be buried or cremated. Some would be commemorated in Roman religious tradition. (en) All'infanzia nell'antica Roma si apparteneva sino ai sette anni , periodo questo in cui l'infante veniva considerato come privo di quella ragione che, secondo il modo di pensare popolare e il diritto, si acquisiva dopo il superamento dell'età durante la quale l'infans era incapace di esprimere razionalmente la sua volontà così che giuridicamente veniva definito "colui che non può parlare" (qui fari non potest). Il giurista bizantino Teofilo, ad esempio, a proposito della regolarità del testamento sosteneva che questo non potesse essere redatto né da un bambino né da un pazzo poiché «il primo al senno non è giunto, mentre il secondo ne è stato abbandonato». (it) In het Romeinse Rijk waren er grote verschillen tussen de kindertijd van kinderen in arme families en die in rijke families. Ook tussen jongens en meisjes waren grote verschillen in hoe ze de kindertijd beleefden. (nl)
