Life as a Roman. Everyday life in a Roman city was totally reliant on your status in society. The city, however, contained a mix of rich and poor people. The rich had the advantage of slave labor, whether it was warming the water at the baths, cooking and serving them their late afternoon meal, or educating their children. The poor, on the other hand, had no education, lived in run-down apartment blocks, and lived off the assistance of the state.

Ancient Rome has had a large influence on the modern world. Though it has been thousands of years since the Roman Empire prospered, we can still see evidence of their culture in our art, architecture, technology, literature, language, law, and religion. As a result, the ancient Romans have forever left their mark on our world. At its essence, Roman culture symbolized power, loyalty, and tradition that were so greatly prized in Roman society. Because the Romans cooperated with the Greeks from the earliest days of their history, the Romans also used certain Greek ideas and transformed them to suit Roman society. The result was an empire and a culture that combined the Roman, no-nonsense approach, with elements of Greek beauty and style. It is due to that unique mixture of strength and splendor that Roman culture continues to inspire and intrigue us today.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were spectacles of construction, human creativity, and engineering on a scale that even the greatest minds of modern times would have difficultly reproducing today. These man made creations were all built sometime during the classical period and stretched across the existing known western-world at that time. Only one of the seven ancient wonders still exists today, and perhaps one of the most well-known ones at that, the Great Pyramid of Giza. From a time covering 2650 to the 3rd Century BC, these works of art scattered the landscapes for many reasons. Some were impressive tombs holding the remains of famous kings, colossal statues admiring supreme gods and others were simply to test the limits of what was humanly possible.
