Archaeologists over many years have conducted "digs" near all of the areas that ancient Rome occupied during its span as a civilization. Because of this they have recovered remains of Roman cities, their construction projects, ancient tablets and other "underground" artifacts such as vases & statues that were buried over the long span of Rome. In the case of the city of Pompeii, the volcano's lava and ashes preserved remarkable ruins of that city that showed Roman culture, homes, monuments, and other artifacts that gave them an excellent idea about Roman life. Pompeii's ruins could be called a "city frozen in time" by the lava of Mt. Vesuvius.

Because the ancient Greeks believed they would earn respect and the gods would bring them good fortune.

The blood sports such as wild beast fighting and gladiatorial combat demonstrated Rome's superiority over nature and man. The beast fighting, speaks for itself, but the gladiatorial fighting evolved from a "mundus" or duty to a dead relative, to the vanquishing of prisoners of war or decadent slaves, which demonstrated Rome's superiority over her enemies. Over time the gladiators became professional but the superiority in combat was still an undercurrent in the games.
