MACHINES
 Romans had quite impressive technology for their time. They had
already began working out a machine to generate energy by the first
century AD. The Hierapolis Sawmill (now located in modern day Turkey)
was an example of one of these machines. It is currently the earliest
known machine to incorporate a crank and a connecting rod together.
(This gesture represents a how
all parts in a machine keep each
others together)
Evan Alexander
ASTRONOMY
 In a great deal, we still use Roman astronomy today. Romans created the
week days. Of course, to Romans, the sky was not science to them, it
was religion. Most of their Gods were a Greek counter-part given a
planet’s name. such as Jupiter or Mars.
(This gesture
represents the stars
in astronomy)
Evan Alexander
ANATOMY
 The Romans did not allow the dissection of human bodies, so they were
limited in what they could find out about human anatomy. They also
rejected many Greek ideas about medicine. These factors slowed down
their progress, but they continued to explore new ideas about the
causes and prevention of diseases.
(This gesture represents the
heart in human anatomy)
AQUEDUCTS
Joseph Bauer
Aqueducts were vital to the success of the roman
empire. They took water from springs, ponds, and
even the sea and transported it to the rest of the
republic.
DOMES
Joseph Bauer
The romans used domes in buildings like cathedrals
and libraries and many others. They were made of
rings of stone placed on top of each other. The
domes were beautiful and came in many heights and
widths.

MALE GODS
By Tyler A. Owen
WHAT WERE ROMAN GODS LIKE?
 The Romans were polytheistic and they obtained some ideas through the
Greek life style. The two gods I was assigned to, were Mars and Jupiter.Well
the Greek god for war was Ares, and the king of gods in Greek was Zeus.
Mars, the god of war, and Jupiter , the king of the gods, were thought of due to
the Greek gods popularity.
 Tyler Owen
MARS
 This Roman god was the god of war and early on he was the god of
nature and fertility. The month, March, was named after him, because at
the end of winter, farmers would return to their crops and soldiers
would return to the battlefield. Mars was also supposedly the father of
Romulus and Remus.
 Tyler Owen
JUPITER
 Jupiter was the king of the gods and the god of the sky. This god was a
god of law and order and also the protector of the Roman state, people,
and the family. The Oak Tree was considered sacred to Jupiter, as were
all places struck by lightning… Now today the largest planet in the solar
system is named after Jupiter. Jupiter was worshipped at the top of hills
of Italy.

ROMAN CUISINE(AVL)
The romans were pretty weird when it came to food. Like
most people they had 3 courses: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Except a roman dinner could last up to 2 hours. There could
be anything from eggs to apples. Although if it didn’t involve
wine, bread, and olive oil it wasn’t there. The upper classes had
some leeway on that; The saying was, “the rich get sick from
eating to much and the poor from not eating enough!” The
appetizers usually consisted of eggs boiled in spices, oysters
and honeyed wine. The main course was meat and vegetables.
For dessert was usually some type of fruit.
ROMAN CULTURE
WHAT WAS THE FAMILY LIKE?
 The basic units of Roman society were households and families. Households included the
head (usually the father) of the household, pater familias (father of the family), his wife,
children, and other relatives. In the upper classes, slaves and servants were also part of the
household. The head of the household had great power (patria potestas, "father's power")
over those living with him: He could force marriage (usually for money) and divorce, sell his
children into slavery, claim his dependents' property as his own, and even had the right to
punish or kill family members (though this last right apparently ceased to be exercised after
the 1st century BC).
 Patria potestas even extended over adult sons with their own households: A man was not
considered a paterfamilias, nor could he truly hold property, while his own father lived.
During the early period of Rome's history, a daughter, when she married, fell under the
control (manus) of the paterfamilias of her husband's household, although by the late
Republic this fell out of fashion, as a woman could choose to continue recognizing her
father's family as her true family. However, as Romans reckoned descent through the male
line, any children she had belonged to her husband's family]
WHY DID THE FAMILY’S GET DIVORCED
 Although the institution of marriage was taken seriously, divorce was not
uncommon. Either partner could institute divorce for fault (adultery,
inability to conceive, or abuse) or no fault (incompatibility). Divorce was,
no doubt, a matter of disappointment but certainly not one of disgrace,
and it was very common for divorced people to remarry.Although in
theory divorce was an easy matter, in reality it was probably an
undertaking complicated enough to motivate couples to stay together,
especially when property was involved.
