the roman empire.
Rome was a republic before it
became an empire-it was
governed in a different way, and
had rulers that were elected
through votes. The roman empire
began in 27bc,and after that one
emperor would rule it until he
died. The first emperor was
Caesar Augustus.
Roman weapons
Gladius-sword
The gladius was very important. It
was light and no longer than 50 cm
long. So it was easy for stabbing.
Pugio-dagger
The pugio [dagger], was a small
knife used by roman soldiers as a
sidearm.it was worn on left side.
mosaics
The floors of roman buildings were often
richly decorated with mosaics-tiny
coloured stones[tesserae].Mosaic floors
were a statement of wealth and
importance.
Chariot racing
Chariot racing was one of the most
popular ancient Greek, Roman and
Byzantine sports. Chariot racing was
dangerous because it can cause injuries or
even death.
Roman numerals
Roman numerals were invented as the
romans needed a system to easily price
different goods and services. The romans
adopted the numeral system from their
predecessors in central Italy, the
Etruscans, they simply adapted and
improved the system.
