According to the ancient Romans, there are five stages of human development:
0-15 years – Pueritia – early childhood and latent period of early school years
15-25 – Adulescentia – puberty and adolescence
25-40 – Luventus – first adulthood
40-55 – Virilitas – second adulthood
55+ – Senectus – old age
