Rome (modern)

The largest difference between the pastimes of ancient Rome and today were the gladiator fights that took place in Rome and in other parts of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. The pastime of watching trained slaves battle each other to the death was a common pastime in Rome and these games were first introduced by the Etruscans. People of today could not and would not let such a pastime exist in the modern day world.

Today more than six million people live in Rome.

There are no major cities in Rome - Rome is a city, the capital city if Italy. (It you meant to ask - "What are the major cities of the ancient Roman Empire" - then ask this as a separate question).

Pergamum, modern day Bergama, is 180 km (112 miles) north of Ephesus, modern day Selcuk and it takes about three hours to drive.

Ancient Rome is like modern day USA in its control of the masses using "bread and circus". As long as the population is entertained and fed they don't spend much time looking too deeply into the affairs of the government, and are willing to deal with lower incomes and higher taxes.

In Italy

It was listed in 1980 by UNESCO and the historic center of Rome. The Colosseum (Amphitheatrum Caesareum) is a important place of history.

The Tiber river river valley!

Rome is located in the modern day country of Italy.

the kids ride around on motor cycles and they eat pizza and pasta.

The only one which bears some similarities is the race track. The Romans loved chariot races and built race tracks. The most famous one was the Circus Maximus in Rome. Very little of it remains.

Three of the many significant things developed/invented by the Romans that have an impact on us today are central heating, concrete, and the dome. Hi Franary! I'd add the arch, indoor plumbing and the aqueducts, plus superior road building such as the Appian Way which still has a few sections preserved.

About 853 kilometres or 530 miles.

The Romans used the arch to build large buildings and bridges.

Cleopatra helped Rome in a left handed way, so to speak. When she was called upon to give aid to Dolobella, as part of her obligation to Rome, she did not come through. However by losing her kingdom she certainly helped Rome financially and materialistically.

Yes, Greece and Rome had multiple conflicts, particularly during the Hellenistic period. The most notable confrontations were the Macedonian Wars, where Rome sought to expand its influence in the Greek world, culminating in the defeat of the Macedonian kingdom. The final blow came with the sack of Corinth in 146 BC, marking the end of Greek political independence and the incorporation of Greece into the Roman Republic.

We have the same type and form of the Roman empire today, with three branches

culture, innovation, politics but the Muslim empire and Greeks (who were great influences in philosophy and medicine on the Muslims and religion and pilitics to the Romans) were also crucial to the inception of civilised Europe. The legacy of Rome is very important even today because we still use some parts of their culture and ideas to make our lives easier and better. One thing that we use is that the language of the Romans (Latin) is one of the primary bases of English. Over half of the words in English have a basis in Latin. Latin also evolved into many Romance languages. One of Rome's most widespread and longest lasting contribution to today's society is their law. Romans were some of the first to recognize certain standards of justice. The believed that laws should be fair and apply equally to all people. The basics of Roman law are still around today in the structures of many legal systems including the USA. Other things that the Romans contributed are great paintings, great sculptures and great literature. Romans also contributed architecture that was not only useful but beautiful as well like the Coliseum. Many large public buildings in the USA include Roman features such as the US Capitol. Roman roads were also great. Some roads built by the Romans are still in use today. Another great contribution by the Romans is the idea of a republic and a senate. Today in the US we have a Congress instead but the Romans contributed greatly to the Democratic style of government. Romans also contributed the Julian calendar and some festivals like Christmas and carnivals. Although Romans did not invent winemaking they did make it a tradition in many areas including many Mediterranean countries.

On a non-stop flight on Air China, a flight from Rome-Fiumcino Int'l Airport (FCO) to Beijing-Capital International Airport (PEK) would be about 10 hours and 30 minutes for a nonstop flight on Air China.

None. We are talking about two totally different historical period some 1,200 years apart, two totally different society and ethnic groups and different part of the world.

However, the Romans have had some influence on America through the way they influenced western Europe, such as the use of Latin words in science, medicine, law and theology and the use of some of the fundamental principles of law. Until the early 20th century the Romans also influenced architecture and sculpture and painting (Renaissance and Neoclassical architecture and sculpture and paintings were based on Greco-Roman models). Neoclassicism was also popular in the US. Latin poets and Roman mythology influenced European literature and to some extent the American one. The ideal of the Roman Republic influenced the ideals of the American Constitution.

English alphabet, like the alphabets of all western European languages is an adaptation of the latin alphabet. Many words in English also have Latin roots. This occurred in two main ways. One was that Latin was the language of the church and a language used by the educated elites. This led to the introduction of Latin words, some of which have retained their original form. The other was that with the conquest by the Normans from France, French became the language of the court and through this, many French words, whose origin is Latin, entered the English language.

Some of the lasting effects of Roman civilisation are the use of adapted forms of the Latin alphabet in western European languages, the existence of languages that are derived from Latin (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian), some of the fundamental principles of law, and the use of Latin words in science, medicine, law and theology.

The Roman Empire included a large sum of Europe. The Holy Roman Empire(Medieval Period) expanded over all of western Europe and bordered the Byzantine Empire. The city of Rome is located on the Italian Peninsula.

A number of things we have were invented by the Romans. Here is a list of a few. 1. Paved roads 2. Arenas 3. Domes 4. The arch 5. Sandals 6. Our calendar 7. Names of the planets 8. Shopping malls 9. Apartments 10. Aqueduct 11. Water fountains 12. Hot tubs 13. Piped water to homes 14. Urban planning 15. Military strategy

The port city of Herculaneum (approximately 12 miles northwest of Pompeii) was also destroyed in the AD 79 Mt. Vesuvius eruption. The inhabitants of Herculaneum were destroyed by the intensely-heated pyroclastic surges produced by the erupting volcano.
