They used the same baths but at different times. The women's hours were usually in the morning while the men had the afternoon.

The Byzantines were both Roman and Greek. With the takeover of the western half of the Empire by the Germanic peoples in the fifth century CE, the eastern empire centred on Byzantium WAS the Roman Empire. Its inhabitants were Greek, but they saw themselves as Roman. So the 'preservation' was simply continuing as they had been - speaking Latin and Greek, maintaining libraries, pursuing cultural activities as usual.

Interestingly, as the Byzantine Empire contracted, faded and eventually ceased to exist, much of the knowledge was preserved and passed on to us not by the European Christian countries which were mired in the Dark Age, but by the enlightened Islamic countries in Spain and the Middle East, before they fell back into their own Dark Age and left the Enlightenment in Europe to struggle into existence.

Well they obviously needed books. But the textbooks were generally used and passed around or borrowed and then returned. Most of their learning was by memory.The other items needed were wax tablets and a stylus for practicing their letters (both Latin and Greek) and for notes. Once they learned how to write they would need pens, ink and papyrus. An abacus was also necessary for basic math.

Not Thomas Crapper! Though he did invent the cystern ballcock that is still used today.

The flushing toilet was invented by John Harington around 1590.

He was a coutier of Elizabeth the First of England, and a celebrated writer and poet of his time - he got into a lot of trouble, often, with political messages not-so-well hidden in his poems and essays. He famously quothed, "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason."

In the early republic,the roman army was on the Tullian system of 5 classes. The first class of soldiers were hoplites.Class 2 were spearmen.Class 3 were light spearmen.Class 4 were skirmishers.Class 5 was capite censi.Then after the battle of allia in 390BC and rome's sacking in 390BC, rome swiched to the Camillan system.The first battle line were the hastati.The second battle line was the principes.The 3rd line was the cream of the legion,the triarii.Then were the roriarii who were reserves.Then were the last line, the accensi, who were the poorest and had no armor.Wars against jugurtha, a african ruler, caused the marian reforms in 107BC. Now there was Legionnaires and Auxiliaries.This stayed the same throughout the period of the empire until diocletian reformed the army again in 284AD.This was the last reform because rome fell in 476AD and the army was dissintegrated by 450AD

Please be more specific as to what you are asking.

A praetor was the second highest elected official in ancient Rome. Only a consul ranked higher. Although a praetor is mostly thought of as a judge, he also had other duties, such as governing a province and raising and leading an army. The Urban Praetor was responsible for governing the city of Rome itself.

Yes. He worked on restoring Roman pride, which had been shattered by the series of civil wars which had torn Rome apart.

A shield is a protective device. So a shield would be used in any circumstance where protection was needed, such as hand to hand combat or siege work.

EDIT:

The Roman curved rectangle shield design, called a Scutum, was used from the early sovereignty of Italy under Roman control, right up until the fall of the empire in the Dark Ages. After the fall of the Roman Empire, shield designs shifted into round shield and kite shield designs for spear infantry and Italian cavalry, which were very dissimilar to the earlier Scutum design.

Nine hundred sixty committed suicide, according to Josephus, however, we must remember that is including women, children and elders, not just warrior zealots. Note that the 960 number is only for the suicides. There were others who died there during skirmishes leading up to and during the siege.

Also, modern archaeological digs found far fewer remains than Josephus reported. Whether this is because the 960 is an inflated number or because many of the bodies were taken elsewhere for internment is unknown.

The main role of children in ancient Rome was not to embarrass their families. (kids will be kids, no matter at what time in history they lived) However Roman children were taught to be good citizens, putting public service and duty before self interests. They were also taught to take pride in their families and their ancestors.

Usually, the way news would be published was through the Acta Diurna. This was a tablet of sort with messages inscribed in it (made out of stone or sometimes metal) it was placed in places that were frequented by many people such as the Forum.

Some things that were put on these 'message boards' were the outcomes of court cases, announcements of births and deaths and other such legal occasions.

The Romans had festivals to celebrate and to get a break from the daily routine. The most important reason for a lavish festival, however, was to honor some god or goddess. People had to stay on the good side of certain deities if they wanted to prosper as individuals and if they wanted the state to prosper, so they had festivals with set rituals and festivities to insure this prosperity.

The eastern part of the Roman Empire had a variety of language as different conquered people had different languages. Some of them were Egyptian, Yiddish, Syriac, Armenian, Thracian, Dacian and Illyrian. Aramaic was a lingua franca in the Asian Middle East. The elites spoke Greek because the Greeks ruled the eastern Mediterranean (Pergamon in western Turkey, the Seleucid Empire in the Asian Middle east and the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt)prior to the Romans and Greek was the language used in the Greek/Eastern Church (which later came to be called Orthodox Church). Latin was the imperial language because the Romans spoke Latin.

After the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire Greek became the official language of the eastern part. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania).

The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by the emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the west, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west.

Firstly if you do not know, Cicero is a Roman philosopher and statesmen and one of Rome's greatest speakers. He believed many things but specifically on what would benefit Rome there are some key points. One main point being is he believed that Rome should restrict herself from giving too much help to foreign nations. If Rome did not she may go bankrupt and there would not be resources for her own citizens. There are some more minor but vague points. He certainly believed that every one should be educated very well, he certainly was, and he had a respect for drama. Now did it work? well he did not really have any authority to make major changes, he could influence Senators and certainly did but he could not implement any real changes to the way Rome worked.

IN a book titled IMPACT, it states that Agustus was a good emperor while Caligula and Nero were bad emperors and weak.
