Ancient Rome

Examples of Roman engineering skills are the roads, the bridges and the aqueducts. The roads were durably made and they were made straight a much as possible. The bridges crossed rivers and had concrete supports sunk. The aqueducts were inclined in order to get the water to flow when syphons or pumps were not practical.

The Romans did not have a middle class like us. They had three social orders (as they called them). The patricians were the aristocracy. The equites (equestrians, cavalrymen) were a class of wealthy bankers, moneylenders, merchants and investors in mining and shipping. The rest were the plebeians, which comprised both middle income groups and the masses of the poor.

The ancient Romans were not really very environment-conscious. On the other hand, population numbers being what they were back then, the impact of humans on the environment was very limited compared to what it is now. Apart from a few big cities like Rome - where the river Tiber was more or less used as an open sewer and where living conditions for most city dwellers were squalid by our standards - people and nature lived pretty peacefully together.

Their empire was growing and so they needed to build roads in order to support more families. Also, their forces were growing stronger and they conquered more empires.

The roads the Romans are famous for are the paved roads. The Romans started building paved roads for military purposes. The first of these paved roads was the Appian Way which was built in 312 BC to speed up the movement of troops to the font in the Second Samnite War. Besides speeding up the movement of troops, they also made the crucial delivery of supplies to the army engaged in battles of stationed in garrisons easier and faster. The paved roads aided Rome's military control over the conquered areas. Of course, they also helped communications more in general and trade.

If you mean cities/towns, there were Ostia, Laurentum, Veii, Eretum, Portus Lavinium and Reate.

There was the Servian wall too that surrounded the city.

The Romans took their art, pottery, frescoes, music, fashion, higher role for women, they had the estruscan gods and goddesses. the Romans did not like the estruscan monarchy so made the republic

Not only did all of the Romance languages evolve from Latin, but in the 19th century, some English grammarians decided that Latin was the perfect language and decided to rewrite the rules of English to make it more like Latin. So, such rules as not putting prepositions at the ends of sentences and not splitting infinitives (though that one does get disregarded in more poetic English. Star Trek wouldn't be the same without it) come straight out of Latin.

Generally, with Romance languages and English, that which is considered to be better grammar is more closely related to Latin.

None of the emperors were responsible for burning down Rome. The misconception is about the emperor Nero who, being helpless in the face of the disaster, spent his time doing trivial things while waiting for reports. In other words, he "fiddled around" while Rome burnt. Besides, Nero's could not possibly have fiddled, because the violin hadn't been invented in his time.

Julius Caesar was killed by a small group of senators, not the entire senate. The Roman senate at the time of Caesar had roughly six hundred members and the conspirators numbered either 30 or 60. (depending on your source.)

Most Romans lived in apartment blocks called insulae (singular, insula, island). The poor lived on the upper floors which were the least desirable because of the extra stairs and they were less safe in case of fire and, therefore, were cheaper to rent. The apartments on these floors were small and only had small and overcrowded rooms for sleeping. There was no running water, heating, cooking facilities or toilets. The poor went there only to sleep. During the day they and lived outdoors. They ate outdoors, went to outdoors public toilets, and went to the public baths. The insulae were up to six or seven floors. Despite height restrictions, some reached eight or nine floors. Originally they were built in timber and mud brick, later chap concrete was used. Fires and collapses were a common problem, made worse by the fact that they were often built cheaply by speculators. Fires could spread quickly because the insulae were densely packed, often separated only by alleys. After the Great Fire of Rome (64 AD) Nero ordered that the insulae were to be spaced out, built in brick, and faced by porticos on wide roads. Even so, they remained prone fires and collapses because of poor building quality.

The middle class lived on the lower floors of the insulae which were larger and more expensive and had running water. On the ground floor there were shops and workshops.

The detached houses of the rich were called domus and were divided into the areas. There was a public area centred on an atrium where the social life of the family took place and were guests were received. There was also a private area just for the family members, which was centred on a garden which was called peristyle, which was adopted from the Greeks.

There was a vestibulum (vestibule) which was the main entrance hall which led to a large central, hall (the atrium) which was the focal point of this part of the house. The atrium was open at the centre and was partly surrounded by a portico with high ceilings. It often has sparse furnishing to give a stronger feel of a large place. The rooms around the atrium had an inwardly sloping tiled roof (compluvium) which channelled the rainwater to the impluvium, a shallow rectangular sunken portion in the centre of the atrium which collected it. The water was then drained into an underground cistern which had sand to filter it. The bedrooms of the family were on the sides of the atrium. At the sides of the bottom of the atrium there were the alae (wings) which were open spaces that extended this portion of the atrium to the sides of the house. Their purpose is unknown. At the bottom of the atrium there was the tablinium, which was the study of the head of the household. The side facing the atrium did not have a wall, and at the opposite side there was a passage to the peristyle. Therefore the study acted as a passageway between the atrium and the peristyle parts of the house. The head of the household was able to command the house visually. On both sides of the tablinium there were the fauces, which were like two corridors which also provided passages to the peristyle separate from the tablinium. The Triclinium was the dining room where guests reclined on three couches along three sides of a table to eat. It was at the bottom of the atrium, but separated from it by walls, and next to one of the fauces. It could be accessed either from the bottom of the atrium or the peristyle.

The peristyle (Latin, peristilum) was a garden surrounded by columns which supported a roofed portico which provided shade. It had flowers, shrubs, benches, statues, fountains and a fish pond. There were frescoes on the walls. In this area there was also the culina, the kitchen. It had no chimney; therefore it was filled with smoke. It was a dark and gloomy room. By the kitchen there was also the Posticum. This was the servants' entrance or the access to the servants' quarters. Family members sometimes used it to exit unobserved.

The plebeians always had the right to vote. All Roman citizens had the right to vote. However, the voting system was stacked in favour of the rich. The plebeians fist gained access to the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic) with the Lex (law) Licinia Sextia of 376 BC after the plebeian movement successfully managed to prevent the elections of public official. This was an episode of the 200-year Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians during which rich plebeians gradually succeeded in gaining access to all the offices which were created as the republic developed by mobilising the plebeian masses.

Rome was governed in lots of different ways. The most powerful person was the senate. Plebebians were ordinary people. The slaves had no rights

Mars was supposed to be the father of Romulus and Remus.
