5 How to Use This Book 6-7 What is an Empire? Scene: The seven hills,
building in progress: Rome began as a small hilltop village and became the
most diverse and most powerful empire the world had ever seen. 8-9 The
Emperor and Senate Scene: the Senate: the empire was ruled by a powerful
elite with the emperor very much in charge of everything. Many were fine
soldiers and effective rulers, others were too weak to succeed or brutal
dictators. 10-11 The Roman Army Scene: a siege or battle showing the army
in action, with battering rams, siege engines, catapults etc. A combination
of good discipline and innovative technology made the Romans invincible.
12-13 The Roman Navy A powerful force although the Romans relied on those
they conquered - Greeks and Egyptians especially - to build sophisticated
fighting vessels that relied on wind power and human oarsmen. 14-15 The
Roman Family Romans, rich and poor alike, lived in large extended family
groups. These were patriarchal in nature and typically included many
children not all of whom survived into adulthood. What was life like? 16-17
Romans at Home Scene: a luxurious country villa with insulae visible in the
distance (the world's first apartment blocks, where most people lived) and
farmworkers tending the fields around. 18-19 A Roman Market A bustling town
market. What did Romans eat, drink and wear? How did they pay for it and
where did the goods come from? 20-21 Reading and Writing Scene: a school
room. Many Romans could read and write in Latin, although their spelling
was often terrible. Only boys went to school, though. Girls had to learn at
home. 22-23 Roman Roads How these were made, and why good straight roads
were vital for trade and efficient military communication. The backbone of
the empire. 24-25 Hadrian's Wall The world's largest surviving Roman
structure. Its ingenious construction and why it proved so effective when
manned by battle-hardened soldiers from Europe, Asia and Africa. 26-27
Aqueducts and Public Baths The Romans were brilliant, skilled engineers who
built hundreds of miles of towering aqueducts. Why were these needed and
how did they work. 28-29 Chariot Races & Gladiators Scene: Colosseum and
Circus Maximus. Public entertainments were an important part of Roman city
life. Chariot racing was wildly popular and enormously dangerous;
gladiators meanwhile fought each other, sometimes to the death. 30-31
Religion Scene: a busy temple. Romans worshipped dozens of different gods,
many of which were 'borrowed' from the tribes they conquered. Those
refusing to conform, such as Jews and Christians, were often forced to
worship in secret. 32-33 Music, Plays and Pantomimes Scene: a vast
amphitheatre with players, costumes, hawkers etc. Ordinary Romans loved the
theatre and performances took place nearly every day of the year. Actors
invented pantomime (the art of acting without words) and used dance, music
and elaborate gestures to convey their meaning. 34-35 Slaves A slave
market: slaves were mostly foreigners, captured in war or sold by pirates,
and were regarded as their owners' property. Numbering up to five million
at a time, their lives could certainly be hard but this wasn't necessarily
the case. Many earned their freedom eventually and could become wealthy
Roman citizens. 36-37 End of Empire Scene: modern archaeologists and
tourists at Pompeii. How the empire grew too large and then collapsed. Many
of its buildings still stand after nearly 2,000 years and work at Pompeii
and elsewhere has given us a good understanding of what life must have been
like. 38-39 Gallery - Famous Romans 40-41 Can You Find? 42-43 Answers 44-45
