 * //Women here in Ancient Rome are seen as inferior beings, they are rarely ever allowed to leave their house. Women are especially important for making children, believe// it or not we use abortion if a baby is not wanted. Child birth is an extremely feminine event, only females are around when a child is born. A child is always property of the father, if parents are going through a divorce the child belongs to the father. ||
 * Children start being educated around the ages of 7-11. They are usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic, and Greek language. As kids get older they may go to different schools to learn a different practice, poetry or military.

Slaves are traded and seen as pets that only work and belong to their master. Usually, slaves are war prisoners and peasants but sometimes adults sell their children into slavery to pay off their debt.

Emperors and High Nobles live extremely lavish lives. They regularly attend chariot races and gladiator fights at the Colosseum. They live in large extravagant homes with many maids and butlers. They wear white robes and are free to bathe whenever they want.

 * =Religion= ||
 * //Romans believe that specific gods are responsible for specific activities here on earth. Romans also believe in ancestor worship . If Romans aren't worshiping a specific god enough// then unpleasant things may happen to the people there on earth. Divinity of the emperor is also practiced because some people believe the emperor is a "god". Over time Christianity became more popular and became the main religion.

80 A.D.- Emperor Titus has confirmed the completion of the Colosseum, it will be used for chariot races and gladiator fights. I can't wait to go and see all the monumental activities! March 15, 44 B.C.- The Ides of March is a tragic day for us Roman citizens. Our beloved leader, Julius Caesar, has been stabbed 23 times by his fellow coworkers. He will be tragically missed. 190 A.D.- As I have feared the Goths and Vandals have started attacking our empire. Civil Wars within our states are weakening us even more, people have lost respect for the law and are now running a muck. They want our precious land for farming and good climate. For this, I believe, will be my last blog, I fear that our accomplished empire is now losing its flame and going downhill fast. Goodbye Rome, goodbye to all of our achievements, I wish everyone will remember Rome as one of the greatest empires of all time.// ||
