Locating ourselves in Latin society we must highlight the current of Stoic thought in which a work like Epistles to Lucilio de Seneca stands out, in this work the Roman thinker educates a young man, however, the teaching is imparted to a young man not to child. As is well known, one of the greatest contributions of the Roman Empire to Western culture is the science of law. Within the law and with a view to the development of our theme is the legislature established around the figure of the Paterfamilias, this last figure represents the Lord, the priest, the judge and the family educator, which gives him absolute power over it . Under the supreme figure of the father of the family “parental authority was the power of the father over the children born in legitimate marriage and the power over the woman who was part of the family. This marital power over women and children was manus, that is, the protective and dominant hand on which the whole family depended ”(Delgado, 1998, 28). Thus, the power of the father legally submits all members of a family including daughters-in-law and son-in-law and all who live in his custody. Some 16 Father's powers included the decision about the life and destiny of his own children. Such was the absolute power of the father who could abandon newborn infants or even accuse his children of their crimes, with the passage of time the power of the father of the family is not absolute but the decisions are subject to family consensus. What we can see in the paterfamilias law is how children are subjected to a power as if they were possessions without any type of agency, as if their decision-making abilities were nonexistent or presented as in formation. According to this law, the child is a possession with the character of a thing but is not considered a rational being with decision-making capacity. As we were saying in ancient Rome, childhood was not given greater importance, it was considered a stage that should be overcome as quickly as possible, adding that in general the life of children was not protected at all costs, from this pedagogically, we cannot refer to the child, but to the student who must be quickly taken to adulthood. However, a point of advancement in pedagogy is the Quintilian posture, which is very similar to the contemporary posture towards childhood, the Latin pedagogue points out the importance of early childhood and early stimulation, since, in the early stages of Child exerts a positive influence on their abilities. Quintiliano also considers that each of the children possess their own abilities which should be stimulated, also that each child has his own personality that must be known by his pedagogues and his parents, but also that the pedagogue in the child's respect must find a learning strategy according to the child that allows him the best development of his abilities in his adulthood. To conclude the section of the vision of classical and Latin antiquity, we must say that although we have notable advances in the treatment of children especially in their learning through play and early stimulation. Similarly, the child is not considered as a bearer of reason and decision, on the contrary the child is a possession of his parents, childhood is an ignored stage of development through which the child goes through in order to reach adulthood.
