How were people treated in the roman provinces?

Answer 1

Pretty well and it was a varied group of people living there. Rome was truly the center of the world, so people and goods came from every where to Rome. People lived in apartment buildings, some had running water to their homes, and the markets were full of people and things. There was an mall of shops near the forum and the forum was full of temples and the business center of Rome. Rome also had public baths as well as fountains filled with water all over the city. Some of these still work today and can be seen. The Romans had many holidays in their calendar ( our calendar comes from them) and they liked to party. Of course, there were poor people and they didn't live as well as the rich did who had palaces on the Palatine Hill overlooking the city. Much of the city were slaves that had been bought or captives from the wars. They did the work on the buildings and other things that went up in Rome. I don't think today's modern person would have been unhappy living in Rome even though there wasn't the gadgets we have today.

Answer 2

They were treated badly. The Romans invaded Britain and soon created 3 groups, for the wealthy and very important people, for the wealthy but not as important people and for the tribes and poor people who were given huts or shacks to live in. It was okay for people in the provinces to have their own religion as long as they also worshipped Roman gods and goddesses. The Romans ill-treatment of Christians was bad so many christians worshipped in secret.

Answer 3

The Romans maintained stability in their empire by respecting the peoples they conquered. They tolerated their religions and customs and allowed them to continue to follow them. They also allowed them to continue to use their customary laws at the local level, which they called mos regionis (regional traditions or law of the land). They relied on the local ruling elites to run local affairs in the Roman provinces. They saw this policy as providing political and social stability The Roman provincial governors' job was limited to defence and the maintenance of the legions stationed in the provinces, tack collection, the commissioning of public works and arbitration of disputes the locals were unable to settle themselves. This policy had two advantages: it reduced the administrative load of the provincial governors and it facilitated the integration of the locals into the ideology and the economy of the empire. A less tolerant policy would have led to rebellions and would have threatened the stability of the empire.

Answer 4

Under Roman law, theoretically, everyone was treated equally. However, some people were more equal than others. The class structure many times influenced justice.
