Shocking Roman Laws that You DO NOT KNOW ABOUT!!!
Under Roman law, a father had the power to sell his children into slavery or even have them killed.
The punishment for seducing a virgin was fine, and if the seducer didn't pay, they could be forced to marry the girl.
Slaves were not allowed to marry, and any children they had were considered the property of their owners.
It was forbidden to wear purple-colored clothing unless you were of noble birth.
It was illegal to free a slave who was a skilled artisan, as the state wanted to ensure their labor.
People who were found guilty of sacrilege, such as damaging religious statues or temples, could be buried alive.
The rape of a virgin was considered a property crime against her father, rather than a crime against the woman herself.
Roman law permitted the mutilation or branding of criminals as a visible sign of their wrongdoing.
