What were 4 things that each ancient roman town had?
Roman Towns had many buildings and features. The most noticable being the grid road system, which formed empty squares, known as 'insulae', to build on. All towns had a 'basilica' or town hall where the 'ordo', or council, was held. Next to this was a large square called the forum, lined with a covered colonnade, where much of the town's business happened. A public bath was a common feature in the large towns, for anyone from the Roman big-shots to the lowliest plebeian could go. Also a 'mansio' could often be seen. This was a large inn, often on the south side next to the gate, for travellers to use on their way, a good example is the mansio in the ancient Roman town of Silchester. Another feature in the larger towns was the Amphitheatre where the gladiatorial games took place, this was outside the walls of the town. Excellent sewers also lined the city, many of which still are in use today eg. London city. all roman towns also had a market place, as well as two main roads, the Cardo, and the Decimus Maximus. Most roman cities followed a grid like pattern, and many had lots of bath houses for socializing.

Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian, and Catalan are all Romance Languages directly descended from Latin. The English language was also heavily influenced by Latin as well - English could be described as a blending of German, French, Latin (directly from the Roman occupation of southern Britain), and Celtic.
The rights of the plebeians were represented by the plebeian tribunes, the leaders of the plebeian movement Although they were not officers of state, they had the power to veto the actions of any officer of state which they deemed to be harmful to the plebeians. They also proposed bills to the plebeian council, an assembly of the plebeians where all plebeians could go to vote the bills proposed by the plebeian tribunes and elect new plebeian tribunes every year. Over time, the the laws approved in the vote of this council (plebiscites) gained the force of law which was binding on all Roman citizens, including the patricians.
