Roman Law and Paterfamilias...
I actually have several (5-7) books on this topic; they are out in a storage shed, in one of 50-60 boxes. While execution was not often practiced, lessor punishments were, including having the persons under the control of the Father of the Family receive corporal punishment, imprisonment in family estates, loss of freedom, loss of patrimony, loss of dowry, loss of pecuniam, and many other punishments that were not taken to a law court, simply because the people had no status before the law. I just finished another book "[amazon]Slavery in the Roman Empire[/amazon]" by Barrow, which lightly touched on this, in passing, and was a quick read. [amazon] Family and Familia in Roman Law and Life[/amazon] by Gardner is a bit more dear.
[amazon]Sons, Slaves and Freedmen in Roman Commerce[/amazon] by Kirschenbaum deals mainly with who could own, and the law, and the status of various people under the law.....
