Why limit family size?The Roman economy was predominantly agriculture, which means that most wealth was invested in land. That investment would not grow quickly. They also operated a partible inheritance system. This meant that the wealth of the parents was normally equally divided between the children. Since status was related to wealth, then two parents who passed their wealth to two children could expect those children to be of the same status. If you had three children, you needed to find more property somehow. If you had four children, their economic and social status would fall.
