The Ancient Romans did many things for entertainment. One such thing was going to the Coliseum to watch gladiator fights and witness prisoners be slain. Gladiators would fight animals such as lions, tigers, leopards, and other ferocious animals. Another place that the Ancient Romans went to for entertainment was the Circus Maximus. At the Circus Maximus wealthy Romans bet on the horses and jockeys that they thought would win the races. One similarity between the Circus Maximus and modern horse races is that you may still bet on the winning horse and jockey. An interesting difference between the Circus Maximus and modern horse racing is that equipment is modernized and the stadiums have a higher capacity for fans and are built out of steel and concrete compared to stone slabs.
Most Romans were polytheistic but over time came to be Christians. The Romans went to the Pantheon to worship their gods. The Pantheon was also thought to be a sundial. This means that the Romans may have had a way to keep time. An interesting fact about the Pantheon is that it’s ceiling weighs about 5,000 tons. Another intriguing fact about the Pantheon is that it was built out of concrete.
Rome’s military was the strongest that the world had ever seen. All of Rome’ s soldiers wore armor and carried several weapons. All the soldiers carried their own personal equipment in addition to the necessary equipment. When Rome’s armies weren’t fighting enemies they were building roads, aqueducts, and even cities. An interesting similarity between Rome’s army and the U.S. military is that both help out their citizens by doing charity work or providing aid to devastated countries. An intriguing difference between Rome’s Army and the U.S. military is that the Romans fought with swords and daggers. Today we fight with guns and grenades.
The Romans lived in houses made of cement and concrete. This provided adequate shelter and was very sturdy. The middle class Roman house had two to three rooms that were used for sleeping and work. The upper class had luxurious houses that had upwards of ten rooms. Some of the rooms that a wealthy family could have in their home were, an atrium, a kitchen, several bedrooms, a bathroom, and a garden area. A similarity between the Roman houses and today’s houses are that both have bedrooms and bathrooms. An intriguing difference between the Roman houses and today's houses is that today we have electricity, heating and air-conditioning, and closed roof houses.
So in conclusion, today’s houses and Ancient Roman houses aren't that different. Some adaptations have been made to meet today’s necessities and requirements.
