The ancient Roman equivalent to the middle class was the equites, who are sometimes referred to as the "equestrian order". There clothing style was the same as everyones--the tunic and toga or cloak. The difference was in the quality of the fabrics of their clothing and in the expense of the dyes used on them.

The euqites cannot be compared to the modern middle class and the use of this term is inappropriate with reference to this order-note that the Romans used the term order, not class, their concepts were different from ours. The two classes are totally different and the social stratification of Rome was also completely different. The middle class sprung from the rise of capitalism, they were entrepreneurs and were strongly associated with the free market and with wage labour. Rome did not have capitalism, a truly free market or wage labour.

The equites were part of the Roman nobililes, the patrician-(rich) plebiean aristocracy . They were the second order of the city and the lower layer of the aristocracy. They considered themselves above the middling layers of Roman society. They were part of a tiny elite (under 10,000 at the height of the empire) that monopolised power (political, military and economic).

Equites meant knights. The origin of the order is from when Rome recruited more wealthy people to increase the size of the cavalry. They had exclusive rights to serve as senior army officers. The rank was hereditary, provided that their wealth remained within a (very high) property threshold.

Equite status was displayed through the right to wear the tunica angusticlavia (narrow-striped tunic) worn underneath the toga, with the stripe visible over the shoulder (the senators wore a wide stripe) and the gold ring (anulus aureus).

This does not sound like a middle class.

Primitive windows were just holes in a wall. Later, windows were covered with animal hide, cloth, or wood.

The Romans were the first to use glass for windows. In Alexandria ca. 100 AD, cast glass windows, albeit with poor optical properties, began to appear.

The Romans has stained glass objects but stained glass windows were not made until around 800AD

Rome became dominant in the Western Mediterranean and then became progressively embroiled in the Eastern Mediterranean in the spillover of the war.

The wars had also had an adverse effect on the Roman small farmers who were the backbone of the Roman army and had been away from their farms for so long. Land was stolen in their absence, and the mass of slaves provided by the defeated Carthaginians made small-farming less viable. This sowed the seeds of the Roman civil wars brought on by the Gracchi brothers' attempts to restore the small-farm class.

When the Germans invasion began, the remaining small-farmers were insufficient to man the army and the unpropertied were drafted. These had no farms to go back to, and relied on their generals to look after their welfare, providing them with a powerful clientele and adding to the pressures leading to the civil wars.

In the early days of Rome the advantages of her location were that she was in a hilly area (the Seven Hills of Rome). People liked to live on hills because they were easier to defend from raids; the local volcanic rocks provided good building material. The city was on the only ford on the river Tiber which crossed the region in an east-west direction from the mountain chain of the Apennines to the coast, which made the Rome main north-south communication point in the region. The river Tiber provided a navigable route to the coast, which was 16 miles to the west. Rome's closeness to the Apennine Mountains made it easier to bring water for these mountains by building aqueducts when with her population growth the demand for water exceeded the local supply. The disadvantage was that Rome was surrounded by several peoples who often attacked her and she often had to defend herself on more than one front.

Egypt never fought against Rome. Cleopatra VII fought alongside Marc Antony in the civil war between Marc Antony and Octavian which would decide which one of them would become the sole ruler of Rome. Most of the forces of Marc Antony and Cleopatra were Roman. They were defeated and committed suicide. Octavian became the sole ruler of Rome and also annexed Egypt.

The Romans did not use the word "toilet" itself, as it is not a Latin word. However they had a word for toilet but the words depended upon what was meant by toilet. The proper meaning of the word toilet is a grooming procedure and the Latin for that is either "cultus" which mean care or tending, or the word "ornatus" which means dress or attire. What we, today, call toilet (a receptacle for a body's waste) was called either a "latrina" or a "fornica" by the Romans.

The people in Ancient Greece were polytheistic, meaning the Greeks believed in more than one god.

The cost of a Roman bathhouse itself was assumed by the person building he bath. Usually it was the emperor, such as the baths of Caracalla, but wealthy individuals could also build baths, such as Marcus Agrippa. The cost of using the facilities was always a nominal fee such as 1/2 of an As or no fee at all as many times emperors or owners gave the people free entrance for a length of time in order to celebrate something.

Brutus,Casca, Trebonius, Cassius, and later Antony bathe their hands in the blood of Julius Caeser. Antony does this later by acknowledging those responsible "Let each man render me his bloody hand" and in doing so implies that he is now in league with them since in shaking each hand he has put blood on his own.In doing so they take equal resposibility for cleansing Rome of its overly ambitious leader.The blood covering the conspirators' hands is a bad omen forcasting their own downfall and destruction.

Grain is the biggest. Grain was to the Romans as oil is to us. The grain supply from Egypt was the most important supply line to ROme and the city even had a grain doel. Other than that in the early Rome salt was what soliders were paid in. Then your basics like gold and iron stuff like that. On could aslo consider slaves to be an important resource particularly to the upper classes.

No, there was no such room designated for vomiting in Roman times. There were, however, passages called "vomitoria" through which crowds would enter and exit stadiums. And it does seem, as suggested by passages from Seneca and Cicero, that vomiting was actually practiced in decadence and not too unusual. But there was no relation between the vomitoria and vomiting, it is simply a misconception based on assumptions.
