10 On separate residences for adult sons, see below p. 163. Crook (1967b), 117,
notes that in the handful of literary passages about brothers in a consortium ,
the families tend to be poor and so have a special incentive to avoid splitting the
family estate. Plutarch, Aem. Paul. 5.5, says explicitly that the Aelii Tuberones
displayed antique virtue in living on a single, undivided estate, that brothers in
his day made every effort to separate their property clearly to avoid confl ict.
