In ancient rome, which family member had the most authority? mother unmarried daughter father married son

In ancient rome, the family member that had the most authority was the father.

father also known as "paterfamilias" was the legal head of the family. He was the oldest living male in the household. The father had legal authority over the other members of the family. He decided who his children would marry and issued punishment for any family member that disobeyed him. In early Rome, he was even able to have family members put to death, but this rarely happened.

created after the great insurrection of 10 august 1792, it was the first french government organized as a republic, abandoning the monarchy altogether. the convention sat as a single-chamber assembly from 20 september 1792 to 26 october 1795 (4 brumaire iv under the convention's adopted calendar). hope this : )
