ANCIENT-THEME.com Daily Life in Rome Within the city of Rome were many people from all over the Empire and beyond. Life was hard, but the city provided many ways to be entertained in leisure time. Following old traditions, all Romans had festivals centered on the gods of fields and crops, but the city had the attraction of the Ludi, or games. In Trajan's time, these holidays totalled about one hundred days per year! The chief entertainments of the Ludi were theatre, and chariot racing. Two Roman playwrights were Plautus and Terence, who wrote low comedies. The works of Greek playwrights we know such as Euripides, Sophocles, and Aristophanes were in use, and most of the actors spoke Greek natively. The majority of Romans preferred a sort of vaudeville theatre with plenty of surprises, nudity and violence on stage. But then what the average Roman really looked forward to were the horses: Left: Chariot Race
(Erik Wilson) Rome had four teams, known by their color: red, white, blue and green. Green had the most fans and won most often, sort of like the Yankees.
Everyone has heard of the Coloseum. Once in the time of Trajan, it held gladiatorial shows that went on for 123 days.

The Roman Empire was one of the greatest
empires in history. The Empire stretched from Britain in
the north to North Africa and Italy in the south. It
reached from the Iberian Peninsula to Asia Minor.
Rome applied its laws to all of its lands. Roman ideals influenced the provinces under its control for centuries after the final fall of the Empire. Even today, Roman ideas of law and government are active in the United States and Europe. Roman engineering and architecture is used in buildings all over the Western world. homepages.luc.edu/~gdituri/ incomedistr.html Map web hosting domain names web design ... online casino

Introduction
The Romans preserved much of the Greek culture and blended it with their own traditions to give us the Classical ideal. Their military conquests brought an empire to Rome that even surpassed that of Alexander the Great. For nearly a thousand years all roads led to Rome. From a small village on the Tiber River to the greatest Empire (Maps) the world had ever known, Rome left a rich heritage for all who followed. Back to Top

AGE OF empireS daily life - 500 BC- 647 AD. The Gupta empire existed at aboutthe same time as the roman empire. It dominated northern India.
http://www.crystalinks.com/indiadailylife.html
Ancient India - Daily Life
Indus Valley Civilization Daily Life - 3000-1500 BC In 1922, archaeologists found the remains of an ancient city called Harappa. They also found another city, located 400 miles southwest of Harappa, called Mohenjo-Daro. Other ancient cities from the same period, arranged in the same way, have been found since. Collectively, this civilization is referred to as the Indus Valley Civilization (sometimes, the Harappan civilization). This civilization existed from about 3000-2,500 BC to about 1500 BC, which means it existed at about the same time as the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations. HOMES Houses were one or two stories high, made of baked brick, with flat roofs, and were just about identical. Each was built around a courtyard, with windows overlooking the courtyard. The outside walls had no windows. Each home had its own private drinking well and its own private bathroom. Clay pipes led from the bathrooms to sewers located under the streets. These sewers drained into nearly rivers and streams. CLOTHING Men and women dressed in colorful robes. Women wore jewelry of gold and precious stone, and even wore lipstick! Among the treasures found was a statue of a women wearing a bracelet. (Bracelets with similar designs are worn today in India.)
