The discoveries at Rome and Pompeii provide invaluable insights into daily life in the Roman Empire, revealing a society rich in social stratification, public entertainment, and elaborate domestic arrangements. Artifacts such as frescoes, pottery, and household items illustrate the importance of family, commerce, and public leisure activities, such as baths and theaters. In contrast to today, Roman life was more communal and heavily influenced by social hierarchy, with a reliance on public spaces for socializing and less emphasis on privacy. Additionally, the absence of modern technology and conveniences shaped daily routines in ways that seem markedly different from contemporary life.
