Synopsis
Excerpt from Roman Constitutional History: 753-44 B. C
The Clan. - The Latin clan (gens) comprised the free male descendants on the male side from a common ancestor, the free female descendants through the male line who remained unmarried, and all the women who were married to members of the clan (gentiles). In a certain sense de pendent and protected persons (clientes) also belon ged to the clan. The members of a clan had a common name, a com mon worship, and. Mutual rights and duties. They were under obligation to assist and protect one another, and they exercised a certain jurisdiction, particularly in the case of minors and insane persons. Perhaps no one wielded in the clan such an extensive authority as the father did in the family. The powers of the father and the clan were probably greater in the prehistoric times, since the state and the claims of individual liberty tended to diminish them.
The members of a clan seem to have occupied lands in common, and to have built one or more villages. Each family received a portion of the lands, and the clan retained a common tract, which down to a somewhat late period was managed as a joint possession.
