The early Romans were polytheistic, and polytheism is naturally tolerant of other religions. In return, the Romans expected the conquered peoples to worship the Roman gods, but made an exception for Jews because of its perceived antiquity and the recognition that a monotheistic religion must forbid worship of other gods.
Roman seaport cities were Port cities the Romans founded in their empire or took over from other peoples. Most of them were in the Mediterranean. Some were on the Atlantic coast of Portugal, France and Belgium. London was a Roman seaport city.
To rule their new conquests, the Romans created the Roman Confederation. Under this system, Romans gave full citizenship to some peoples, especially other Latins. They could vote and serve in the government, and they were treated the same as other citizens under the law. The Romans granted other peoples the status of allies.
They were both early Greek peoples who were taken over by invaders from other Greek peoples and from the Sea peoples.
With thier colonies and other peoples and cities around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
No, other peoples were using coins long before Rome was even founded.
It was the religion of the ancient Greeks and Romans. And of course of other peoples far back in time.
Several ancient peoples settled along the Mediterranean coast, including the Phoenicians, who were known for their seafaring and trade; the Greeks, who established city-states and colonies; and the Romans, who created a vast empire encompassing much of the Mediterranean region. Other groups, such as the Carthaginians and various indigenous tribes, also played significant roles in the area's history. These cultures greatly influenced trade, warfare, and the spread of ideas throughout the Mediterranean basin.
Romans, Greeks and presumably other Mediterranean cultures used olive oil as a sexual lubricant during sex or for use with toys.
The Romans did have their own religion and it was an elaborate one. The early Roman state was centred on Roman religion. The Romans were flexible about the gods of other peoples. For example, Quirinus, one of the gods of the high trinity of Roman gods, was of Sabine origin. Polytheism (having many gods) and similarities in various cults around the Mediterranean made something like this easier. The Romans did adopt some Greek gods, such as Cybele (whom they called Magna Mater, Great Mother), as the Sibyline oracles had said that Rome would defeat Carthage in the Second Punic War if they imported this goddess. However, for the most part, Roman gods were Roman. What they did was to link them to Greek gods and mythology. The Etruscans, Romans and other Italic peoples adopted Greek architecture when the Greeks established colonies (settlements) in southern Italy. The arrival of the Greeks had a civilising impact on all the Italic peoples they came into contact with.
Like the Romans, the conquering Muslim respected the religions and customs of the conquered peoples.
