Love downloads that have stories to back them, especially ones that teach you a bit too!

I love your download, as an Ancient Rome fanatic as well as historic (I love historical fiction novels), this is by far an amazing download. I too agree with Phaenoh :D

Hello Alex,
as I'm rebuilding Pompeii I'm in desperate need of roman-themed downloads. Finding something like your "familia Curius" makes me jump up and down like a rubber-ball - literally!
Your creations are absolutely fabulous! I can't thank you enough for sharing them (because I'm totally without talent for creating stuff for my Sims myself).
So, a very big "Thank You Very Much" for all your gorgeous creations and a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and your family!

Could you pinpoint the Liana mesh for me? I'm having issues finding the '016'. It doesn't seem to be there...

She changed the site layout so I cannot find it. But, as she allows it, I'm enclosing the mesh: check the zips

First thank you for putting up a normal family from the Roman Empire, Most people only see the luxerious part of Rome, which I must say is simply devine and disgusting I mean come one who throws up in the middle of a meal, but actually there is something you aren't completely noting here that is a very useful bit of information when it comes to the cultural aspect of this time in history. The idea of citizenship, you probably know that citizenship requires that you are 18 or older, a male, and are serving or have served in the military. This would mean that not only were the slaves concidered property but so was Gaia (interesting name, the kind motherly earth titan as a vain woman) and her daughter were technically property of Tiberius, this would mean that really although Gaia can be vain it was very uncommon for the husband to serve her every whim, although Romans weren't as bad at the Greeks when it came to the treatment of women (aka take the key and lock her up style of marriage, with the exception of Medea and probably Euripidies' main ladies) the Romans still saw women as property not separate, although going out for some entertainment together wasn't looked down upon even in the upper classes. Still you might want to at least note that in your history tidbit, still great job on the classes, and do I detect some linen being worn.

I think you’re right, and without wanting to get into a Roman Society Debate here, I would like to point out that the status of the women changed quite a bit over the years, especially towards the end of the republic.
And they were quite capable of standing out for themselves when needed, as the pressure and public mutiny against the Oppian Law showed, when women took the streets and the forum for days, until they were able to prevent a law that would forbid them to own more than half an ounce of gold, or wear a dress dyed in a variety of colours, or ride in a horse-drawn carriage in a city or town or within a mile of it except on holy days.

Pliny shows us several examples of very strong and independent woman and in Hadrian’s time a married woman didn’t need a guardian (or husband) to draft her will and a father would not dream of forcing his daughter to marriage.
There are examples of (free) women who were merchants, doctors or even gladiators.

The laws regarding the female gender were the ones that changed the most during the roman times, no doubt showing the importance it has on the fabrication of an empire

Thank you very much that clears up quite a bit. Out of curiousity though if this is during the Republic period is the social status equestrian, or as I more suspect plebeians? Or did the family exist during the Empirical age of Rome? I'm just curious since I am concidering creating a story for the Republic era of Rome.
