Where do Romans vomit after a meal?
They would more than likely go to a latrine or a clean bowl if they were feeling ill after a meal, the same as you or I . Contrary to popular myth, the Romans did not have a special room to go and throw up so they could eat more. This misconception comes from the Latin word "vomitorium", which comes from the verb meaning "to spew" or to "gush out". In reality a vomitorium was an exit from the Colosseum. After the events, the people would spew out of the arena, therefore the name vomitorium. It had nothing at all to do with a household room.
What are suicide bombers promised to become a bomber?
First, one should realize that only Muslim suicide bombers believe in a reward. The individual motivated to kill himself for Islam believes that his God will reward his violent act. In contrast, secular suicide bombers (i.e., the Liberation Tigers of Tamil and the Lebanese Communist Party) commit violence with no hope in a reward; their act is non-religious in nature.Second, one should recognize that suicide bombing remains a contentious issue within Islam. Some Islamic scholars justify suicide bombings while others reject it as incompatible with Islam. Consequently, not all Muslims believe suicide bombers will receive a reward.Islamic scholars who support suicide attacks offer this description of the bomber's reward:"when the martyr meets his Maker, all his sins are forgiven from the first gush of blood. He is exempted from the torments of the grave; he sees his place in paradise, he is shielded from the great shock, and marries Dark Eyed Virgins. He is an heavenly advocate for 70 members of his family, on his head is placed a crown of honor, one stone of which, is worth more than all there is in this world."11. Quoted in Bruce Hoffman's book, Inside Terrorism, page 159.
How are aqueducts used today?
No, roman aqueducts are not used today we use pipes today instead. Note that one aqueduct in Rome, the Aqua Virgo (now called Acqua Vergine in Italian) is still used to supply the fountains of the city centre, including three famous ones: the Trevi fountain, the Barcaccia (the boat-shaped fountain at the bottom of the Spanish Steps) and the fountain of Quattro Fiumi in Piazza Navona. It is no longer used to supply drinking water for much of the city centre, but this is only due to pollution, not lack of power. It can do this without pumps because of the significant difference in altitude between the Pincian Hill area and the lowland of the city centre. It works beautifully, as shown by the impressive gush of water at the Trevi fountain. Yes, we use pipes and pumps today in the US and other "modern" countries, but in Latin class (about 28 years ago) we were taught that ancient Roman aqueducts still supplied water to some European communities. Perhaps the EU (European Union) has "improved" this situation since, but the aqueduct required only the immutable force of gravity, as water flows to the lowest point, while our modern system requires electric power to force the water through the pipes. It is a dubious improvement in times of power failure.
