The Roman family is sacred to the paterfamilias in Rome. How did Augustus and Livia extend the idea of the Roman household to all citizens of the Empire?
A) Augustus passed an edict that demanded he be addressed as paterfamilias of Rome, extending his authority to all households within the Empire. B) Augustus, once accepted as a deity, automatically became the paterfamilias of every Roman household. C) Livia was considered matron because she was a queen that had fulfilled her duty of bearing children. Augustus had done the same as paterfamilias within his own household. Since he was emperor, this carried beyond his home and across the Empire. D) When taking the title "Father of the Fatherland," Augustus began the role of dictating to his "household" (the citizens of Empire) what was appropriate moral conduct within his household. Livia also took on the persona of "Matron of the Fatherland," thus incorporating the idea of the imperator and his queen as father and mother of the Empire. E) Although Augustus did not take on the title of "emperor," he was still titled commander and chief of the military, thus making him father and protector of Rome and all her citizens.
