The diners reclined on the couches, leaning on their left elbow and taking food from the table with their right hand. Diners ate the food [cut up beforehand by a slave] with their fingers or a spoon. Forks were not used by the Romans. Not all Romans reclined when eating dinner, but it was usual among rich or upper-class families. Less wealthy people, slaves, children, and sometimes women would eat sitting up.

father would choose her husband, usually an older man, and she may
have had little say in the decision. She would normally be married by
the age of 20, and daughters in upper-class or very rich families were sometimes given in marriage as young as 12. The law gave most fathers control over their daughters, even after the daughter was married."
