Culture

What it is living in their culture

The Ancient Roman life style is somehow like Ancient Greece. Their eating habit is almost the same, but they also have different part too. In this section we'll talk about the culture of the ancient Rome.

The ancient Rome culture is really rich.In education most of the rich Ancient Romans boy is sent to school. Poorer ones learn what their father do for living. The girls learn on how to be a wife. The men went out to work and the women stay home and do chores take care of children. The ancient Rome find entertainment in going to the bathhouse (a place where they can get clean, meet friend, and relax) watching gladiator fight, or watching chariot racing. The rich ancient Romans live in huge two stories house with a courtyard (a yard right in the middle of the house). Some even have central heating. The poor live in a one to three room apartment. Which was constant threat of fire and disease.The Rich ancient Romans eat expensive food. The poorer one buy their food at the many "fast" food stall.   


Clothes

The ancient Romans men wear toga. Only Romans citizen are aloud to wear toga. For most of the time the Ancient Romans wear simple tunic. The women wear a toga like dress called stola. They wear plenty of jewelry. All of them wear sandals. The clothing also represent the government. If a white toga with purple strip on the edge, it must be senator. Only the consul (Romans republic leader) and Emperor (Romans empire leader) can wear full purple toga.



custom  

The ancient Romans custom is to go to the bath daily. The baths that day is like going to the mall or movie this day. The Romans are generally to treat visitor a good meals. The Forum (main square of Rome) is the place where you have to go to everyday. Theirs a lot of festivals. The ancient Rome love the festival. They celebrate with cheers and happiness. This is the custom the ancient Romans do.
