ROman family life
In Roman culture weddings were a big deal. Although they were a big deal they normally only had a few people at them. Normally the bride and groom invited their family members and some close friends. At weddings the bride wore a white toga, a long veil which was oftenly orangs, and held a bouquet of fresh flowers or herbs. The groom wore a white toga also and his best pair of leather shoes. The couple exchanged gold rings and wedding vows just as people do now.
Roman children played with similar toys that children play with today. Minus all of the electronics of corse! The kids played with rocking horses and lots of checker and chess. Boys loved playing like they were in wars with fake swords and other fake weapons. The boys also enjoyed playing on stilts and chasing each other on them. The girls played with rag dolls and even dolls that were made of wax. They also played tic tac toe and jacks.
Some people might say, well you can not have a family without a pet. Some roman famlies actually did have pets. The most common pet was a dog, just like now. Famlies also had lots of different birds such as, parrots, geese, ducks, and quails. Since many familes traded each other at local trading markets it wasm't common for a family to own cows or goats for milk, chickens for eggs, and pigs for meat. On some occasions famlies also owned monkeys but not very often.
