When was the period in which the Romans lived?
The Roman empire was preceded by a 500-year-old Roman Republic. The Empire was founded by Julius Caesar's appointment as perpetual dictator (of the republic) in (44 BC). The first emperor was Octavian (Augustus Caesar) and the empire continued (and divided into an east and west part) for several hundred years. The Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476 AD and the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire ended in 1453 AD with the death of Constantine XI and the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks.--------------------------------------------------------------------The Roman Empire came into complete being around 27 BC.

The date of the fall of the Roman Empire is usually given as 476 AD, though the empire did not really fall on that date.The Roman Empire divided and was reunited several times, the last division being in 395. The event of 476 was the abdication of the last Emperor of the West, in favor of the Emperor of the East. But the West Roman Empire had already become a chaotic mess and never recovered.

Our current historians refer to the East Roman Empire from about 500 AD to 1453 as the Byzantine Empire.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is the daily life of a ancient roman priest?
The daily life of a Roman priest was no different from the ordinary Roman. The ancients did not have a "clergy" as we consider them today. Almost anyone could become a priest or priestess and most times it was just an honorary title. Some were in charge of shrines and would perhaps make a sacrifice to the god on a certain day, but this took up very little time. Other priests might walk in a procession on a festival day. There was very little religious connotation with a priesthood, it was mostly a position of bragging rights.
