Ancient Rome

Women wore a stola, palla and a shift.

Men who were Roman Citizens were allowed to wear a toga (anyone else who wasn't a citizen could be arrested for wearing a toga) and a tunic.

Children wore tunics, slaves could wear loincloths.

Fur lined boots could be worn in the cold weather and sandals when it was hot.

They created large empires containing many national groups.

It was totally different. We are talking about two totally different historical times and societies.

Rome, after Romulus. remus wanted to call it reme.

Roman civil law became influential in Europe from 1070 when a copy of the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil law) was discovered in a library in Pisa. This was a compendium with a selection of centuries of Roman civil laws, a collection of essays on jurisprudence, and a student textbook which had been commissioned by Emperor Justinian in the 6th century.

Four professors at the university of Bologna (the first university in Europe) specialised in the study and teaching of the Corpus and of Roman civil law. This turned Bologna into the most important law faculty in Europe, which attracted students from all over the continent. Subsequently, the study of Roman civil law spread all over Europe.

A few centuries later, in the 15th century, a German called the Corpus Juris Civilis the Justinian code.

Origanially their native Roman beliefs (conquerored peoples, excluding the Jews, practiced it in conjuction with their own faith) but later the offical religion became Christianity.

The Greeks who settled in Italy in the 8th and 7th centuries, the Etruscans and the Sabines influenced the early Romans. The foundation of Rome was said to have involved a fusion of Latins and Sabines. The Sabines influenced Roman religion and some Roman customs. The Etruscans also influenced religion and some customs and introduced the Romans to the arch. The Greeks of Italy influenced architecture and sculpture, some aspects of religion, and the alphabet. All alphabets of the ancient Italic peoples adopted and adapted the western Greek alphabet.

From 321 BC to 107 BC, the Romans adopted the maniples, the battle formation of the Samnites.

The exact extent of the influence by the Italic people or from which of them it came is difficult to know or disentangle. For example, there are indications of religious influences from the Umbrians.

The Romans traded with Britain for silver, which they used to make jewellery and coins, and wool which they used to make clothes....:)

Actually his grave is in the bed of the Tisza river in Hungary. There is a book written by Gadonyi Geza, a Hungarian writer and journalist. It is called the Invisible man. In this book he describes in detail the burial of Attila. The town of Szeged, Hungary was the entry point to the seven tribes of Hungarians reclaiming Attila's land in 896. Tisza was blocked off with sand bags at the section where it meets the river Maros. Then hooded followers and his servants took his triple coffin that represented his strength (iron) his wealth and glory (gold) and his affiliation with the Moon and river (silver) and finally the river was released to cover them.

Livia influenced her husband, Augustus, the first Roman emperor, who did away with the institutions of the Roman republic and established rule by emperors. She was one of the few Roman women who received the title of Augusta (the venerable one).

Yes, Cicero was a Plebian. He was not a patrician, but came from a wealthy equestrian family.

tallow candles were considered household items, considered very affordable. Beeswax candles however were used mostly for the upper class and catholic church since beeswax is harder to obtain.

many kinds. alot of the time we hear that they mostly worshiped their own variations of the Greek gods like Zeus(Jupiter, in rome), Hermes(Mars). the Romans took the greek gods and renamed (most of) them after planets. in other times, like under the rule of Constantine, it was Christianity.

Many, many things were found in Pompeii. Pretty much anything that would be used in Ancient Rome: Pottery, cooking utensils and ovens, entire houses w/ courtyards and even fountains, wall murals. On the beach they found skeletons, coins, and even a sword.

Many slaves were granted their freedom when their master died as a provision in his will. I believe a slave could also buy his freedom.

They were usually freed when they were around 30 (manumission)

Also when their master was very pleased and very kind he would set him free. eg. if you were a kind master and you were being mugged, and a slave saves you, you might free that slave.

Question of my own: How would a master show that he freed his slave??

Vatican City.

The Palatine Hill.

Most of slaves in Rome and her territories were bought by large landowners and worked in the fields of their estates. A substantial number of slaves worked in the houses of the rich, where they performed as many as 50 different jobs. The miners were slaves because the working conditions there were very harsh. Some slaves were gladiators. Some educated slaves worked for the state as archivists, scribes and the like. A few educated slaves worked as educators for the children of the rich.

During the period of the Roman Republic judges were not people with a professional career. The Praetor, the chief justice, chose the judges to preside over a trial from a list of wealthy men. Often he presided over trials himself. His term of office was one year.

During the period of rule by emperors, the emperors often presided over trials. They often delegated this task to the praetors, who were now civil servants of the imperial government. They staid in office for as long as it pleased the emperor.

The Coliseum was built by the emperor Vespasian as a memorial to his dynasty. Its proper name is the Flavian Amphitheater. Once they built it they used it for gladiator fights.

Ancient Rome was well known long before the emergence of archaeologists. In fact, it was known all along. Roman civilisation lasted 1,200 years and created the second largest empire antiquity saw and the 17th largest in history. The Roman Empire covered Western Europe up to the river Rhine, Britain, South-eastern Europe, North Africa and part of the Middle East.

The western part of the Roman Empire fell in the 5th century AD under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and existed until 1453. A 16th century historian coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate he eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the west. The Germanic invaders hired educated Romans to run their bureaucracy and their laws were a mixture of their customary laws and Roman law. They were written in Latin (the language of the Romans). Latin also became the lingua franca of the educated elites of Europe

The legacy of the Romans has had a deep impact on western Europe.

Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Late Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.

Western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The only letters in the English language which do not come from the Latin alphabet are J, U and W.

Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are languages derived from Latin (romance languages). Many Latin words have entered English via two routes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the court language and many French words entered into the English language. These words are usually of Latin origin.

Many international words in medicine, law and theology are Latin.

The key principles of Roman civil law have provided the foundation or an inspiration for the law of many modern countries. These are: citizenship status and citizenship rights, equality under the law, the right to have a proper trial and to defend oneself, the right to appeal, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser and not on the accused, that it is the exact form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, and that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed.

The Romans influenced European architecture, sculpture and painting until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today). Palladian architecture was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century.

No; they are the sons of Rhea Silvia (Rea Silvia/Ilia) and Mars. Through Rhea Silvia they are descents of Aeneas.

The senate advised the consuls but in practice, the consuls would usually always take the advice. The senate also was in charge of the Republic's money and it had the power to remove consuls if they thought they weren't doing a good job at ruling Rome.

The senators were appointed for life, and even though hey weren't paid, the position gave privileges and a better social position.

According to the founding myth of Rome, the city was founded on April 21, 753 B.C.
