Were medieval villages small?
Medieval villages were settlements big enough to support a church. The population of such a place might typically have been around 200 to 500 people. A village would often have a baker, a miller (who might also have been the baker), a blacksmith, and other people engaged in crafts, but would not have a market, because having a permanent market required a charter, which would make the village into a town.

How many Romans died in the different battles with Spartacus?
It is not known. Spartacus was not the only leader of the revolt and there are two divergent accounts of the rebellion and not enough figures of casualties. Spartacus defeated a praetorian militia of some 3,000 men at the battle of Mount Vesuvius. A group of rebels was defeated by a consular legion the battle of Mount Garganus and its leader, Crixus, was defeated. According to one account Spartacus then defeated two consular legions. This would amount to some 10,000 men, but there are no figures bout the number of casualties. According to the other account Spartacus defeated only one consular army and later was engaged by two legions further north in Italy and defeated them. The Romans had limited forces available to them because they were engaged in two wars, one in Spain and one in Turkey. Eventually, the Romans gathered a force of eight legions (32,000-48,000 men). Spartacus was defeated and 6.000 of his men were killed. He escaped, but was defeated again, with the loss of 12,000 men and 6,000 prisoners were crucified.

Which architectural order is used on the Arch of Titus?
The arch of Titus was the first example of a construction in the Composite order which combined both the Corinthian and the Ionic orders. The capitals are Corinthian, but with prominent Ionic volutes which projected laterally from the Corinthian acanthus foliage. The volute is a spiral scroll-like ornament that forms the basis of the Ionic order, found in the capital of the Ionic column which was later incorporated into the Corinthian order to form the Composite column capitals. The acanthus is one of the most common plant forms used to make foliage ornament and decoration which was often used in the Corinthian order. The corners are articulated with a huge order of engaged columns which stand on a high basement. An engaged column is a column embedded in a wall and partly projecting from the surface of the wall. It was rare in classical Greek architecture, but it was favoured in Roman architecture and was commonly embedded in the cella walls of pseudoperipteral buildings. A pseudoperipteral building has free standing columns in the front (colonnaded portico), but the columns along the sides are engaged in the peripheral walls of the cella.
