You don't know a whole lot about Roman paternity
This.
fathers did technically have the right to murder their infants as they pleased though
He was within his rights to do so and came very close but ultimately couldn’t go through with it
Plus Romans viewed adoptive parentage as closer to biological parentage than we do
>Series about the ancient world doesn't pander to the social mores and values imagined to exist in the 1950s by someone in early 21st century.
Who really has the SJW mentality here?

that is, if the father actually decided to adopt the child/teenager/middle aged man.
Wtf thats messed up
Husbands were also allowed in many cases to kill their spouse if they'd been found to be adulterous. At an absolute minimum they were obligated by law to divorce
Few ever did. The only recorded case that comes to my mind is when the son commited treason and had to be put down by his father.
Constantine killed his eldest son Crispus because he'd been banging Constantine's new wife iirc
>OH NO NO he doesnt like to murder infants and rape women he's not a mentally ill disgusting incel creep like us what a onions ridden faggot LMAO
Romans were rampant pedophile boy lovers (read the satiricon) who had gay orgies with 7 year olds, yet you act like they weren’t degenerate
Being a degenerate doesn't mean you have to be a cuck.
From what I can see, Fausta tried to bang him and then accused him of raping her when he rejected her. That seems to be what's caused his father ire.

That’s probably the case of the Consul Brutus in 509 BC who had to behead his own son. There’s also either Torquatus or Valerius Corvus who kills his own son for leaving the line to slay another Italian in 1 on 1 combat. But don’t forget, that’s different from the paterfamilias’ right to refuse an infant child (which probably happened to girls more than boys, based on censuses from 3rd and 2nd century BC Miletus).
>That’s probably the case of the Consul Brutus in 509 BC who had to behead his own son.
Yup, that's the one.
>that’s different from the paterfamilias’ right to refuse an infant child
now that you mention it, we don't see Vorenus holding the son in the air to signify he accepts him in the family, so he's technically not part of the family if we were to split hairs.
>tfw no Majorian kino
Why did Vorenus and most of the upper class Romans look like Celto-Germans? Vorenus even comments on his Gallic appearance but Atia looked even moreso
>Few ever did.
Infanticide of newborns was very prevalent in Ancient Rome. It was common for fathers who wanted a son would leave baby girls outside in the sun to die of exposure.
They decided quite prudently they didn't want any ridiculous shitalian accents on their show so they hired based Anglo-Saxon and Irish thespians instead
Italians can be pale mang
There were a lot of independent celtic tribes in the North of Italy up until the 2nd century BC. Vorenus says in the show that his mother was from modern day Modena, so he could have Boii blood to some extent.
True, abandoning kids was common practice, but I doubt many of them died as you say. Snatching babies from the street and raising them as slaves was probably very lucrative if you were to make a long term business out of it.
Because nobody wants to look at pastaniggers.
He shall not deny it friend, he has a Gallic look about him, but he’s as Roman as any man.

What did Antony mean by this?
From the boiiiiiiiii tribe
Theoretically a 30 year old man was in his power to offer a 70 year old man adoption
Why did he believe some random woman who told him he had been cucked?
Banging the emporer's wife is treason.
banging the emperor, on the other hand, that's A-OK
Refusing to bang the emporer? Treason.
such is life on the Palatine.
