The first king of Rome was Romulus but not in 375 BC. According to the Roman tradition he reigned from 753 BC to 717 BC. By 375 BC Rome no longer had a monarchy. It had become a republic in 509 BC.

A hypocaust was the Roman heating system. There were hollow channels in the floors or walls of a house/building which allowed the heat from a furnace to flow through the house. Our present day central heating systems are based upon the same principles but with modern heat ducts and refinements.

Romulus' twin brother was Remus.

Yes the did, but not to protect against the rain; the heat instead.

The religion of the Romans/Latins was polytheistic, which means that it had many gods. The Romans worshiped a very large number of gods. This was because that is how it was. Ancient religions were polytheistic.

The Romans allowed the conquered peoples to worship their religions, follow their customs and use their customary laws locally. The Romans established their provincial administration and taxation. They relied on the cities for this and left rural administrative matters largely to the local elites. Good relations with local elites were important to ensure control.

Although the Romans pursued tolerance towards the conquered peoples, they were ruthless in case of rebellion.

Most of the jobs that the Roman had were similar to the jobs we have today but they did not have automation as we know it and most things had to be done by hand. Slaves were trained to do specific tasks for the wealthy, but the lower classes could also do the same work. For example, a poor man could hire himself out as a laborer of some sort during a special need, such as a barge having to be unloaded, or harvest or planting time on some farm. Yes, farms had slaves to do the work, but it was more economical for the farm manager to hire a free man for, say a harvest, than to purchase a slave that would not be needed for the rest of the year.

Laundry services were always in demand, and again, although the wealthy had slaves to take care of their wardrobes, others generally "sent out the wash" to their local laundress.

There were many bars and fast food establishments and many bakeries. Skilled craftsmen or women would have their own shops and the artists such as the sculptors, woodworkers, mosaic workers and fresco painters would contract independently with a client.

So, the job market really hasn't changed much in 2,000 years.

Goods being exported were taken out by ship, afterall, Ostia was a seaport. Good coming in, were transported either by pack mule, wagon, or by barge. Barges were the most common means of transport because Rome had many warehouses along the banks of the Tiber.

Social Needs in Ancient Egypt were art, games, recreation, sports and dance.

The torso armour of Roman soldiers was the lorica hamata (mail armour), the lorica squamata (scale armour) or the lorica segmentata (broad iron strips across the body and overlapping downwards fastened to internal leather straps; additional vertical plates protected the upper arms and there was a breastplate protecting the upper torso). Greaves provided leg armour. Romans soldiers also wore a variety of helmets. The officers’ helmets had a crest at the top, so that they could be easily seen by the troops.

The soldiers wore a linen undershirt and a woollen tunic which covered the upper part of their legs. The cingulum (belt) was a soldier’s badge of office and was worn with the tunic at all times. The ‘apron’ was attached to the belt. This was a collection of decorated leather strips which gave some protection to the groin. The jingling noise they made when the soldiers marched helped to intimidate the enemy. The footwear was the caliga, leather sandals.

The soldiers also carried a heavy pack over their shoulders to carry their supplies. It weighed 90 pound and included saucepans, a shovel and apickaxe.

Yes, the Romans cultivated cabbages and other leafy greens as part of their agricultural practices. Cabbage was valued for its nutritional benefits and versatility in cooking.

When the Romans arrived in Greece, they absorbed many aspects of Greek culture, including art, philosophy, and religion. The Greeks introduced the Romans to advanced concepts in architecture, such as the use of columns and intricate sculptures, which heavily influenced Roman design. Additionally, Greek philosophy, particularly the teachings of figures like Plato and Aristotle, shaped Roman thought and education. This cultural exchange laid the foundation for the Greco-Roman civilization that defined much of Western history.

Yes, the Romans had an exceptionally good sewer system. The main sewer was the cloaca maxima, dating from the time of the kings. It was huge and drained the forum. It could also accept waste from tributary sewers and the baths. Parts of it can still be seen in Rome today.

Cicero made strong speeches because he had to in order to win. In the ancient world the orator, weather he were speaking politically or in a civil case, came out verbally swinging. There were no holds barred as far as speeches were concerned. Today's political or courtroom speeches are tame and bland compared to the ancients' oratory. There were no libel laws in those days, so "anything goes" was the motto.
