Ancient Rome

The tribunes did NOT have contempt for the common people. They were the officials who were elected to look after the interests of the commoners. They had the power of veto over any legislation that, in their opinion, was detrimental to the common good.

Octavian, later titled Augustus, was a major figure in the history of ancient Rome and in ancient history as a whole. Given the task of the question to provide the single most important aspect of this man places any answer in the area of subjectivity. It certainly can be argued that at a very young age he was the force that unified the empire and kept it out of civil wars for many years.

The Gauls under Bennus sacked Rome in about 390 BC. This makes them the first and also is a reason for the mistrust that the Romans had for the Gauls.

What the Romans are famous for is the building of paved roads. What you mean by the Romans being civilised about roads is difficult to understand.

The merchants did not fit into the definition of a patrician. The patricians were a landowning aristocracy.

Merchants fitted into the equestrian order (ordo equite). These were bankers, moneylenders, merchants and investors in shipping and mining. This order was the second highest rank in Roman society.

The poor housed themselves in ancient Rome. They lived in high rise apartments called insulae or "islands". (high rise meaning at least five stories high) There was no public agency to help them finding a place or to help them with the rent.

The development of Rome started with the creation of the Roman state. According the semi-legendary story of the foundation of Rome, Romulus was its founder. He became the ruler of the Palatine Hill, the central hill of the Seven Hills of Rome. He then united the people of the settlements on the other hills into a single state and became the first king of Rome. Archaeological evidence shows that he built a regia (royal palace) and several temples in the forum, an area in a valley between three of the hills. He turned the forum into the civic centre of the newly founded city-state. The temples were places of worship for the people of all the settlements and the gods they were dedicated to became gods of all the Romans.

Romulus also created a royal advisory body, called the senate. This was a council of elders (senate comes from senex, which means old man). He selected 100 pater familias (head of the family/ head of the household) from the leading clans of Rome at the time to sit in the senate. This assured participation and consensus to his rule by the rich and powerful. He also divided Rome into three districts. Each district supplied 1,000 infantrymen and 100 cavalrymen to create an army of 3,000 soldiers and 300 cavalry. Rome was also divided into 30 curiae and the Assembly of the Curiae (Assembly of the Constituencies) was developed. The curiae voted separately and the vote of each curia counted for one vote. The vote was determined by the majority of the votes of the curiae.

A city would have walls surrounding it the majority of the time. There would be guards patrolling it, on the lookout.

There may have been a cohort based in the city and they would go to battle.

Rich people in ancient Rome often had two or more homes. The home in the town was called domus. They could also have a villa urbana, which was a larger house used for rest stays in locations which were easy to reach from Rome. Some of them were in the area around Rome and some were on seaside towns north of Naples or on the Bay of Naples. This area was popular for vacation resorts for the rich. Rich people who were landowners also had a villa rustica. This was the landowning family's residence in the farmstead of its landed estate.

i really dont care,have a nice day

The origins of Rome

Because that's were they trade goods

:)

Weapons such as swords and daggers were made by blacksmiths by forging them for iron. Catapults and balistas (projectile throwers) were made by specialist artisans. Siege machines were made of wood and were constructed by carpenters.

The theme is abominations and things that anger God.

Poor Romans like rich Romans drank wine which was the standard Mediterranean beverage. However it was not the fine quality wines that their richer brothers drank. It was usually more bitter or harsh and needed more watering down than the wine that the elite consumed. They also had beers from Germany and Egypt, fruit juices and good old water.

Rome was powerful for many reasons. Three of them are they used the republic form of government, they gave Roman citizenship to conquered citizens, and they had a gigantic army with the legion as their military formation. All these and many more things made Rome so powerful.

Rome was powerful because of their republic form of government. They had many people in charge of making decisions for the 2 consuls, the military and civic (what the people want) consuls. Romans thought that the republic was fair but only the patricians could participate in the senate until the plebeians revolted in 367 BC. The republic helped keep citizens happy and to keep track of the army. They took the Italian Peninsula in 396 BC. The Gauls then attacked and sacked Rome and almost eliminated the Roman Republic. This republic idea helped build back up after being destroyed.

Rome was also powerful because they gave Roman citizenship to conquered people. This made it very easy to rule over foreign lands. If Rome expanded too much and never gave the conquered tribes citizenship, they could all revolt and turn on Rome. When the conquered now citizens were accepted as citizens, they could enjoy the protection of the Roman legions and the extent of Rome's wealth. With Roman citizenship, there were many benefits for conquered tribes who needed protection.

The final reason Rome was powerful is that they had a mighty army with many legions protecting them. The Roman legions were so effective because they consisted of 3000 to 6000 men and 100 to 200 cavalry units. The Romans had 3 or more legions protecting their boundaries. With such a big amount of land, they needed many men protecting their borders and making sure there are no revolts. Rome was powerful in many ways including the republic, a big army, and the gift of citizenship to conquered territories and many more. Rome was the most powerful empire/republic ever so far in history when they owned 752,899 square miles of land all around the Mediterranean Sea.

The westernmost part of the Roman Empire was Portugal.

Yes. Almost every house had a private loo tucked away under a staircase or in the kitchen. I have seen photos of the excavation of "single seaters" in the sides of buildings with access from the street. Weather there was a door on them is unclear.

The rich people in ancient Rome actually wore the same kind of clothes as the poor people. The styles were the same. The difference was in the quality of the materials. The wealthy could afford to wear the finer grades of wool, and even cotton or silk. They could also afford to have them dyed bright colors. The poor on the other hand, wore the coarser grades of wool and if they were dyed at all, they were generally a shade of either yellow or red, as those were the two cheapest dyes available.

In 63 BCE, Rome intervened in the region and sacked Jerusalem. From that point on, the local government was effectively in Roman hands, but until the year 6 CE, Judea was a quasi-independent client state of the Roman Empire. By that year, the government got so inept that the population appealed to Rome, and Rome deposed the ruler and annexed Judea, Samaria and Idumea. Aside from a brief period of nominal autonomy under Herod Agrippa from 41 to 44 CE, the Roman provence of Judea was ruled by Prefects and (after Herod Agrippa) Legates. Roman rule was interrupted by two great revolts (66-72 CE and 132-135), and after the second revolt, the Jewish population was suppressed, the land was renamed Palaestina (after the Philistines, traditioinal enemies of the Jews) and Jerusalem was largely demolished and a new city built from which Jews were banned. It is improper to call the land Palestine before the second great revolt.

The city of Rome had several fora (plural of forum) venalia (plural of venalium). These were commercial fora, or markets which were separate from the forum civilium, which was the civic forum, the civic centre and the heart of a city and its public, political, judicial and administrative life.

The fora venalia of the city of Rome were; the Forum Boarium (cattle market) the Forum Suarium (meat market) the Forum Piscarium (fish market) the Forum Holitorium (vegetable market) the Forum Vinarium (wine market) the Forum Pistorium (bakers' market) and the Forum Cuppedinis (delicatessen market).

Roman soldiers had citizenship papers. Sometimes they were carved on to pieces of bronze.

because alexandar the great died and Greece split into 3 separate city-states and alexandar's military generals took over

During the period of the Roman Republic the consuls were the two annually elected heads of the republic. During the period of absolute rule by emperors this office only had a symbolic value.

Rome is the capital of Italy and birth place to the roman empire that spread all around the coast of the Mediterranean and north Europe and present day UK.
