What is the Roman Colosseum About?
Originally called the Flavian Amphitheater, the Colosseum received its new name sometime after the 8th
Century.
Its name came from its immensive size. Its capacity was about 50,000 spectators.
The Colosseum stands free today with no hillside help. Unlike most Stadiums today.
The colosseum is basically the model for all the sports stadiums today.

ROMAN ART
What kind of statues were built?Lily Hubbard
As we all know Rome had liked many of Greece’s ideas, but one thing that they
might now share in common is their statues. Greece focused on beauty in their art
work. But Rome was different on that subject. Rome had much more unattractive
statues. They were more realistic and showed less attractive features such as
warts and wrinkles. But just because their statues weren’t great doesn’t mean that
they weren’t into art. Many of their buildings were like Greece. Statues were the
only kind of art that was completely different.
What twist did Rome put on Greek art?
It is well known that Rome was similar in Greek artstyle. Of course
they had some differences but for the most part they were alike.
They had used Greek style for buildings. They had Greek style
torches and columns for buildings. Greece was popular for the
columns they would have for their buildings. But Rome wasn’t the
exact same as Greece.They added arches, which they were the
first to build. This added a curved ceiling for their buildings. They
were the first people to invent concrete with volcanic ash. This
made buildings sturdier.
ROMAN ART FACT
did you know that Roman artists mainly focused on making statues of gods and
godesses?

Roman
Daily
By Enrique

What was daily life in rome over 2000 years ago?
Farming
Romans used mostly slaves to work in the fields. Slaves were widely available,
and they provided cheap labor to work their fields. The fields were plowed with
an ard-type plow, which is basically a heavy stick pulled by an ox. Later the
Romans did add a coulter to the plow, which would help break up the soil
before the plowshare would turn the soil over.
Grain was harvested by hand until the first century A.D. At this time, a reaping
machine called a vallas Roman Farming was invented in Gaul (modern day
France) which allowed for an easier harvest. The wheat would be beaten to
separate the chaff (outer covering) from the kernels. The beaten wheat were
What was daily life in rome over 2000 years ago?
Besides wheat, two other primary crops were olives and grapes. Olives were
squeezed in special presses for oil. The presses were designed not to crush
the seeds which would give the oil a sour taste. Olive oil was used in cooking
and also as fuel for lamps. Grapes were pressed either by treading on them or
with a screw press to be made into wine. By 100 B.C. most farming was done
on large estates. The owners of these estates often lived in town for the
majority of the year. A manager, called a vilicus, supervised the farm work on
the estate. Another person, the villica, would be in charge of the household.
Often the villica and the villicus were slaves. The work on the estates was done
in large part by slave laborers. Over ninety percent of the Romans lived and
worked in the countryside.

Giant PANDAS
Giant pandas live in a few mountain ranges in central China, in Sichuan,
Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces. They once lived in lowland areas, but farming,
forest clearing, and other development now restrict giant pandas to the
mountains.

polytheistic
Romans believe in many gods and goddesses. They believed that people
who pass that their spirit lived in natural things. Like trees and rivers, stuff like
that. Many of that Greeks gods and goddesses were that same a Rome’s gods
and goddesses. The only difference is that the were given Roman names. Also
Roman emperors were worshiped. Which this was practice to strengthen and
support for the government. All the Romans worshiped and honored the gods
and goddesses by praying an offering goods.
Dead animals and birds flight
Some of the persist while they were in the temples worshiping the important
gods and goddesses. They would look fir messages from the gods. So they
studied the insides of dead animals. Also they would watch birds in flight
looking for a meaning.
Something I find interesting about Rome!!
The one thing I found interesting to Rome is their religion. Reason being is
that Romans didn’t really make their own gods and goddesses. They just
copied the Greek gods and goddesses, but changed their names. They didn't
make anything gods of their own. So that was something I found interesting
about Rome.
Minerva
It is assumed that her Roman name, Minerva, is based on this Etruscan
mythology. Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, war, art, schools, and
commerce. She was the Etruscan counterpart to the Greek goddess Athena.
Minerva was one of the highest ranking Roman gods. Minerva started off as
just a goddess then eventually the Romans elevated Minerva to one of the
highest positions with Jupiter and Juno to form the main triad of the Roman
religion, replacing an earlier triad of Jupiter , Mars and Quirinus.
Emperors worship
Emperors were highly worshiped in ancient Rome. There were often temples
and statues built for their Emperors.
Roman Religions
Cecilia Ann Hutton, Bess Christopher,
Caroline White, and Elizabeth Elmore
Household gods
Romans had altars in their homes so they could worship the gods from there.
The head of the house would usually bring offerings and perform rituals.
Many Romans believed that there was a god that would protect their homes,
and they were worshiped in a home.
There were two household gods, Janus and Vesta.
Janus was the god of doorways and beginnings, and he had a guardian named
Hence.
Vesta was the goddess of the hearth, and this was a place for cooking and
spiritual sacrifices.
Neptune/Poseidon
Neptune is the god of the sea, and his brothers were Jupiter and Pluto.
He was also the god of the horses and earthquakes.
It is said that Neptune lived underwater while his brothers lived in the sky, and
underground.
Neptune supposedly had a bad temper, and he made many earthquakes with
big waves.
Pompeii
Pompeii was a city in Italy that was destroyed by the eruption of Mount
Vesuvius.
The volcano spread toxic gas and rubble all over the city which buried in for
many years.
Around two thousand people in Pompeii died from suffocating the ash that
escaped the volcano.
In 1748, the city was rediscovered and people noticed that Pompeii was still
intact.
The volcanic ash preserved the skeletons, buildings, and artifacts.
Wht was Roman Science
Engineering like?
By Matthew.W
HI how r ya?
How was Science and engineering like in Ancient
Italy
It complicated to built things in ancient Italy because they didn’t have modern
technology so it took forever to complete
The Colosseum
Was Built a long long long time ago somewhere in italy but that’s not important right
now anyways Beste was able to engage reverse engineering paired vertical
channels that he found in certain walls he had been working on the site for years
until he realized that the distinctive slices in the wall near the vertical channels were
likely for revolving bars of capstans that powered raising and lowering the cages and
platforms.
The Colosseum
The Colosseum had Sand flooring and had wood under it like most houses during that time
period but also it had 2 floors main floor and basement type of floor. There was a lot of
renovations done to the Colosseum to try to fix it but none of the renovations were ever
complete and that’s why its look so weird to look at
The Colosseum
The Colosseum was built a long time ago and are still
standing today I think that’s cool that something that old can
last so long before breaking I think that’s really cool that it
has lasted this long and still standing from everything

The Colosseum
Yay ^_^
the Colosseum. It was built after
the Roman victory in the first
Roman-Jewish War. It seated
50,000 people. It covered 6
acres of land and is 620 feet
long, 512 feet wide, and 158
feet tall.
One species of elephants,
called the North African
Elephants, went extinct. They
played a role in the
entertainment. A very important
animal segment that went down
involved animals. They used
this particular species of
elephants, which eventually
lead to them going extinct. -
Roman Uniforms
To me the Romans seemed
advanced when it came to going
to war.

What was it like being a Roman woman?
Answer 1: Women in Rome were slaves toward their husbands. They would be
taken in prisoner and worked to death or a beating. If people were in debt and then
poverty. Then they would become slaves just like the women. Mostly girl but
children were abandoned at birth, and picked up by other people and sold as
slaves.
What was it like being a Roman woman?
Answer 2: Dowry in ancient Rome was when people got divorced. They would
see what land the other got and what they would split. They would see who got
the children but they women didn’t have a lot to do, they would mostly become
slaves.
Roman dresses
Roman women usually wore a piece of cloth tied around them to look like a
dress. They didn’t have a lot of color to any of their outfits. Everything was
mostly white which when it was dirty looked like beige.
