What is the translation of Ecce Romani 1 chapter 25?

Answer 1

It was now day. There was a great shouting in the city. The slaves were carrying the loads to the forum with great commotion. On all sides there is shouting and noise. But no shouting, no noise reached Marcus. He was snoring in bed, for he was tired. Sextus was also staying in bed, but he was not able to sleep. Awakened by the shouts and noise, he was now thinking about everything that Titus had said yesterday. "What will we see today? Will Cornelius take us into the forum? I certainly want to see the forum and the Senate-House and the senators."

Meanwhile Eucleides, who had gone out at dawn, had already returned home. He immediately headed for the rooms of the boys and said, "Hey, boys!" Why haven't you gotten up yet? I woke up two hours ago. Because I wanted to buy a new book, in the morning I went down to a certain shop in Argiletum where you are able to see the names of many poets on the doorpost. Catullus, Flaccus-"

But the boys quickly interrupted, because, as they knew well, Eucleides always wanted to teach something new. "What did you see in the roads?"

"Nothing," said Eucledies, "except a miserable man crushed by stone. "The oxen were dragging squared stones in a wagon to the new building that Caesar is finishing near the Golden House. "That building is a huge amphitheater and the emperor will soon hold the games there. If you boys are good, perhaps you will go to the games."
