Ancient Rome

Tarquin the Proud ruled Rome from 534 BC- 509 BC, so for 25 years.

Augustus' mother is called Atia Balba Caesonia.

The Alps are a tremendous physical barrier for anyone who wanted to invade Italy from a land route. It is almost impassable in the winter (although Hannibal managed it with his troops, including his war elephants to surprise the Romans). On the other hand, it also meant it was difficult for the Roman Empire to relay troops to other parts of the Empire if needs be.

He built a permanent, professional army of about 150,000 men. He also created a special unit called the PraetorianGuard. Hislegionsconquered vast stretches of northern Europe. He practically rebuilt Rome. He improved the government. Augustus also reformed the Roman tax system, and legal system.

The people of Pompeii were killed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which buried the town in volcanic ash and pumice. The heat and ash from the eruption suffocated and preserved the inhabitants, resulting in their deaths.

Roman religion in ancient Rome was polytheistic, with a pantheon of gods and goddesses that governed various aspects of life. Rituals and sacrifices were performed to appease the gods and ensure their favor. The emperor also held a significant religious role, being considered a living embodiment of the divine.

Some scholars argue that one of ancient Rome's biggest problems was political instability, which led to frequent civil wars and power struggles. Additionally, economic troubles such as inflation and reliance on slave labor posed significant challenges to the empire. Ultimately, a combination of internal strife, external threats, and societal issues contributed to the decline of ancient Rome.

The cities of Pompeii and Herculean were both completely buried in ash. Everyone who lived there were killed.

that's actuallly not true. 90 percent of pompeii's residents survived. 10 percent died.

Summers in ancient Rome were generally hot and dry. People would try to find ways to stay cool by going to the baths or resting in shaded areas. There were also various festivals and outdoor events held during the summer months.

Yes, ancient Romans were able to see Mars in the night sky. They named the planet after their god of war because of its red color, which could be seen with the naked eye. Romans observed Mars and tracked its movements to assist with navigation and timekeeping.

Roman society was composed of patricians (aristocratic landowners) and plebeians (common citizens). The patricians held most of the political power and social status, while the plebeians made up the majority of the Roman population and were primarily farmers, soldiers, and artisans.

Rome's terrain is characterized by its seven hills, on which the ancient city was originally built. The Tiber River flows through the city, providing a natural water source and dividing the city into eastern and western sections. The city also has a mix of flat plains and rolling landscapes surrounding the urban area.

The climate in Rome, Italy varies, the temperature can be as low as 5 degrees Celsius in winter, to 30 degrees Celsius in the summer, the average rainfall is approximately 72mm per year. It is in the Mediterranean climate zone.

The most significant achievements of Roman civilization were:

Written laws

astounding works of architecture; and

the ability to govern masses of conquered nations for hundreds of years.

Of course, time zones did not exist in Ancient Rome, but you can compare modern time zones with the geography. The Roman Empire spanned from modern day Spain in the West to Iraq in the East, and from North Africa in the South to Britain in the North. The ancient city of Rome was located in the same place as the city today, and so is in the same time zone as modern Rome.

There is a variety of reasons which applied severally or singly, according to the use of the slave. A non-exhaustive lis is: 1. It provided cheap labour. 2. It provided specialised labour for employments where other peoples were more adept, eg sculpting, teaching Greek language and culture. 3. It saved Romans having to do the more noxious, menial and dangerous tasks eg mining, sheepherding, agricultural labouring. 4. It expanded the workforce available. 5. It allowed households to be run with trusted slaves rather than hiring in dubious locals. 6. It could be a good investment, as children of slaves became the property of the owner. 7. When they freed slaves, either in their will, or when slaves bought their freedom, they remained clients of the family, and were useful to assist the family financially and politically. 8. Some families, tired of raising children who ran wild and disgraced them, would select a trusted slave as their heir.

Some human characteristics of Rome include resilience, ingenuity, ambition, and adaptability. Romans were known for their military prowess, engineering feats, cultural achievements, and political sophistication. Their society valued loyalty to the state, family, and tradition.

There are various estimates of the capacity of the Colosseum ranging from a low of 50,000 people to a high of 70,000 people.

Nothing much is known about Spartacus. We only know that he was one of the three le4aders of a slave rebellion. What the aims of this rebellion were in not sure either. There are various opinion about this.

I say there are about 2.7 million people in Italy Rome. The population does change everyday so who really knows? But approximently right now there are about 2.7 million.

During its Golden Age in the 5th century BC, Athens had a population estimated to be around 250,000 people, including citizens, residents, and slaves. This made Athens one of the largest city-states in ancient Greece.

We, as a community have an idea of what category we would put people of different professions in. At the top of this list would be lawyers and doctors, simply because they have higher managerial and professional occupations. Next to the tope of the list would be teachers and police officers, because they have a lower managerial and professional occupations compared to the people in the top bracket. Still higher up in the social class would be people like fire fighters and airline cabin crew, because they have intermediate occupations. People such as hair dressers and shop owners would be classed the higher intimidate bracket, because they would have small employers and own-account workers. Train drivers and supervisors would be classed as part of the lower intimidate bracket because they have lower supervisory and technical occupations. Security guards and postal workers would be placed high up in the lower social class because they have semi-routine occupations. second to the bottom bracket, would consist of people like bus drivers and cleaners because they have routine occupations and at the bottom of the social class bracket would be people such as students and people not classifiable because they have never worked or are long-term unemployed.

The Cave Canem mosaic in Pompeii was made using a technique called opus vermiculatum, which involved creating intricate designs with small, colored tesserae (mosaic tiles). The image of the dog and accompanying words were meticulously crafted by skilled mosaic artisans, combining various colors to bring the scene to life. The process required careful planning, precision, and artistic skill to achieve the final detailed and realistic image.
