 * **Sports, games, entertainment, etc.**


 * Ancient Rome Ancient Romans didn't have much time to play games, They spent most of there time around business. When they did have time for games they would swim, play board games, and attend theatre performances, horseback riding, wrestling and boxing, running, hunting and fishing, and ball games. They also have a Colosseum for public entertainment. Another name for a Colosseum is a Flavian. The Colosseum or Flavian consisted of a big ring and the oval shape it's self was 87.5 m. by 54.8 m. The whole ring it's self including the seats, were made out of limestone. Rome was a highly hierarchial and class-conscious society. Vulgar Latin (Italian and French) is the language that the Romans spoke most. Members of the eastern roman empire, at the time were speaking greek.

Painting was a commonly used among the Romans. You do not see a scenery in most paintings you usually see people or the hero's of Rome. In most of the nice buildings are sculptures of head and shoulders of other people. Although wall painting is not a big part of art in Ancient Rome, it is still used in the big buildings where someone with money would buy.

 * **Religious/Spiritual beliefs**


 * In early Ancient Rome people believed that their ancestors watched over them. Their was also people like Brutus (a god) which people believed had super powers and were hero's for what they did. Mars is the god of war, Romulus and Remus are the founders of Rome, Quirinus was one who watched over the people of Rome, And Jupiter (also a planet) is the supreme god. Due to the preservation of the Ancient Greeks, The Romans Inherited most of the Ancient Greek lifestyle. There were only four colleges for priests. The public office would always remain the same and never change. [|lost rome](The video is about Ancient Rome, how it was formed, A narrator talks about the inscriptions and how they came about.

 * Language


 * Latin and Greek were the dominant languages of the Romans Empire. Latin was in the Roman Empire as the language of the courts in the west. After all freeborn inhabitants of the Roman empire were universally set free in 212 A.D. A big number of Roman citizens would lack the Latin language. Koine Greek started to become a popular language in The Roman Empire.

 * Gender roles
 * Women that were free in Ancient Rome had stick to the strict gender role of doing what they were suppose to do in society like being a good mother and wife. Society back then was a place for men not women. While women were still citizens but could not vote or become any part of a political office. The lives of boys and girls began to split apart after they formally came of age, and memorials to women recognize their domestic qualities far more often than intellectual achievements. The skills a Roman matron needed to run a household required training, and mothers probably passed on their knowledge to their daughters in a manner appropriate to their station in life, given the emphasis in Roman society on traditionalism.

 * Family Structure
 * The men were the dominance of the house hold. He would pay the bills, take of property, and take care of the family. But if his son dis obeyed his orders then he could easily disown his own son. The oldest living male in a family is called the paterfamilias which is still the father of the household. Also, if the children dis obeyed rules the father could sell them or kill them. Roman women usually married at a young age. About 25 percent of the children did not live before the age of 10.
