They lived in beautiful houses – often on the hills outside Rome, away from the noise and the smell. They enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle with luxurious furnishings, surrounded by servants and slaves to cater to their every desire. Many would hold exclusive dinner parties and serve their guests the exotic dishes of the day. …and poor Poorer Romans, however, could only dream of such a life. Sweating it out in the city, they lived in shabby, squalid houses that could collapse or burn at any moment. If times were hard, they might abandon newborn babies to the streets, hoping that someone else would take them in as a servant or slave . Poor in wealth but strong in numbers, they were the Roman mob, who relaxed in front of the popular entertainment of the time –

What we don't know: In spite of the many inscriptions and other pieces of the past scholars have labored to put together for us, we still don't know much about ancient Roman daily life. We still don't know whether the ancient Romans had wastebaskets, or how common cats were, or whether anyone kept a dog indoors. We don't know if they made their bed in the morning or folded up their bedclothes, stashed them away and used the bed as day furniture; or indeed, whether most of the time they had beds or just futons on the floor. (Stuffed with what?) We know they had temples, but what did they do in there? It will be interesting to see what will be discovered, as scholars continue to find inscriptions, and to put pieces of the past together! What we do know: We know quite a bit about Roman government, which was famous for power and law, and a great deal about Roman religion with its many Roman gods and festivals. Rome grew from an important city into a huge, crowded, noisy, smoky, dusty city, with beautiful temples and public buildings. The rich had gracious homes, each with an entrance atrium, which was the center of family life.

Every five years, each male Roman citizen had to register in Rome for the census. In this he had to declare his family, wife, children, slaves and riches. Should he fail to do this, his possessions would be confiscated and he would be sold into slavery. But registration meant freedom. A master wishing to free his slave needed only to enter him in the censor's list as a citizen ( manumissio censu Throughout the entire republican era, registration in the census was the only way that a Roman could ensure that his identity and status as a citizen were recognized. Fathers registered their sons, employers their freedmen. Primarily the census served to count the number of citizens and to assess the potential military strength and future tax revenue. Most important, the census transformed the city into a political and military community.

The ancient Romans invented more games than any other ancient civilization. The ancient Romans were very different from the ancient Greeks. The ancient Romans were down-to-earth realists , not idealists. You can see this in their statues. The Greeks made statues of perfect people. The Romans created real life statues. A statue of one of the Roman emperors is a good example. His nose is huge! The ancient Greeks would never have done that. The Romans were fierce soldiers and wonderful builders . They built roads all over the empire, and all roads led to Rome. The ancient Greeks had roads, but they were not built nearly as well, and the Greek's roads did not connect in any particular order. Connect to what? Each Greek city-state was its own unit. In ancient Rome, Rome was the heart of the empire! Two thousand years ago, Rome was a busy place.

Quick Links: Choose a section: Roman History Roman Culture Roman Clothing Roman Warfare ... The Fall of the Roman Empire Life in the Roman Empire ROMAN HISTORY Clearly a superior culture, Roman achievements are the basis for many advances in technology, architecture, warfare, and more. ROMAN CULTURE The Roman culture in Italy was based in dry farming (no construction and maintenance of irrigation systems). Many native Italians were either landowners or hired farm workers. As Roman civilization evolved, the Roman culture thrived with markets, and skilled laborers, roads, arts, and many other achievements. Initially, the Roman authorities tolerated religious varieties, but the introduction on Christianity outraged Romans because it refused to acknowledge the existence of any other gods. Persecuting Christians only strengthened the faith of the followers of Christ and increased their determination. Early in the 4th Century, Constantine The Great (Emperor) became a Christian himself. He made Christianity the official (but not the only) Empire religion. It wasn't till the reign of Theodosius (380 AD) that all pagan and rival worship was forbidden. This action helped assure the survival of Christianity. ROMAN CLOTHING Roman clothing Roman dress for men and women did not have significant changes over the years. Ancient Roman clothing incorporated beautiful materials and accessory items just as we do today. Women had a wide variety of Roman dress styles to select from, and the wealthy had custom made Roman clothing (which is still the trend today in most cultures).

It was a kind of a long, white shirt, composed of two cotton pieces; without sleeves or with the short ones. Till III century AC wearing a tunic with long sleeves was perceived as a symbol of effeminacy. A tunic that was too long and reached ankles was also unsuitable for men. Also, Roman tunics varied in details depending an office that was held by their owners. Tunics were worn only in house, if Roman wanted to go out, he had to put a toga on. Food Entertainment Rich Romans spent their spare time on feasts; this activity was treated almost like a sort of sport. Public lectures and literary sets were very popular, sports and circus games also provided great amusement to thousands of Roman. A lot of time was spent in terms, which were in fact a cultural centre of a city. Everybody could go to the terms and have a bath, even the poorest, because there were no entrance fees or they were very low. Women also visited terms, but after numerous scandals they had to do not at the same time as men did.

Search TheMiddleAges.net Holy Roman Empire The Holy Roman empire began in 962 and lasted until 1806. This was the medieval state that occurred in central Europe and Italy under the rule of the German kings. This time was considered to be a restoration and continuation of the ancient Roman Empire. It all began when Otto I of Germany came to the rescue of Pope John XII. After this, Otto was crowned emperor of the Romans as a reward. From this time on, the German kings claimed the right to rule the empire. In the beginning, it was just called the Roman Empire. Holy was added during the 12th century. This time period reflected two important medieval values. One was the unity of all Christians in a single state. Another was to have a hierarchical political organization that called for one ultimate head over all existing states. Neither of these were really taken to by the empire. The history of the Holy Roman Empire can be divided into four periods: the age of emperors, the age of princes, the early Habsburg period, and the final phase. The age of the emperors lasted from 962 to 1250 and was dominated by the strong emperors of the Saxon. The emperors of this time spent most of their time trying to control Italy. Their power, however, depended on their German resources, which were never great. The age of the princes lasted from 1250 to 1438. The emperors were much weaker. They exercised only minimal authority in Italy. The early Habsburg period lasted from 1485 to 1555. This period strove to create a feudal system. The final phase lasted until Napoleon I finally destroyed the Holy Roman Empire in 1806.

The Roman Empire in the first century AD mixed sophistication with brutality and could suddenly lurch from civilization, strength and power to terror, tyranny and greed. Leader of the pack At the head of the pack were the emperors , a strange bunch of men (always men). Few were just OK: some were good - some even were great - but far too many abused their position and power. They had a job for life, but that life could always be shortened. Assassination was an occupational hazard. The emperors sat at the top of Rome's social order . This was as finely graded as flour. Specific qualifications were needed for Romans to be admitted as equestrians or senators. Even freed slaves had different rights from citizens.

Charles was the eldest son of Pippin III In 768, when Charlemagne was 26, he and his younger brother Carloman inherited the kingdom of the Franks. In 771 Carloman died, and Charlemagne became sole ruler of the kingdom. At that time the Franks were falling back into barbarian ways, neglecting their education and religion. The Saxons of northern Europe were still pagans. In the south, the Roman Catholic church was asserting its power to recover land confiscated by the Lombard kingdom of Italy. Europe was in turmoil. Charlemagne was determined to strengthen his realm and to bring order to Europe. In 772 he launched a 30-year military campaign to accomplish this objective. By 800 Charlemagne was the undisputed ruler of Western Europe. His vast realm encompassed what are now France, Switzerland, Belgium, and The Netherlands. It included half of present-day Italy and Germany, and parts of Austria and Spain. By establishing a central government over Western Europe, Charlemagne restored much of the unity of the old Roman Empire and paved the way for the development of modern Europe.
