Ancient Roman Teens

Country Life

Rich Girl: "At least I can go to my family's estate in my free time."

Poor Girl: "Yeah, you can go and relax while I just farm all the time."

Rich Girl: "Well sometimes I have to farm too, but my dad knows I don't like to get dirty, so I only do it once in a blue moon."

Poor Girl: *under breath* "Spoiled brat."

Housing

Poor Girl: "I hate living in such a small, crowded apartment."

Rich Girl: "Well I love my house! Most of it is made out of stone and marble, and we have lots of dinner parties."

Poor Girl: "Yeah, yeah. I know. I've been there with my mom when she was a servant. No need to keep on bragging. Try living in my 'house' for one day. You would sprint out of there in a second. There's no heat or running water!"

Rich Girl: *gasp*

Poor Girl: Yeah, and there's so much sickness spreading everywhere!"

Religion

Rich Girl: "Man, that ceremony was so cool. I hope we pleased the gods!"

Poor Girl: "Totally, I'm just glad we get to have at least something in common."

Rich Girl: Yeah, in almost every other aspect of life we're very different from each other."

Poor Girl: Yeah, especially when it comes to housing."

Ancient Roman teens had many differences and similarities.

Their conversation with one another would go something like this:

Recreation

Family Life

Rich Girl: "Well, our free time is fun!"

Poor Girl: "Correction, YOUR free time is fun. You get so much leisure, and you get to watch plays all day long. All us poor people get are items from you guys, which I guess is nice."

Rich Girl: "We both get to relax at the public baths though."

Poor Girl: "That's true."

Rich Girl: "Also, our family life is pretty much exactly the same."

Poor Girl: "Yeah.."

Poor Girl: "Are babies in your family named at a ceremony?"

Rich Girl: "Yeah! Do brides in your family wear white gowns and veils?"

Poor Girl: "Yeah!"

Rich Girl: "Wow, I guess we have more in common than we thought we did!"

Education

Rich Girl: "Our education was very different though!"

Poor Girl: "Yeah, that's because I taught you and other rich Romans."

Rich Girl: "True, but at least we both got an education!"

Poor Girl: "You got sent to Athens or Rhodes to learn from the best teachers while I'm over here teaching myself and learning from family members."

Rich Girl: "I know, I feel bad because life was so unfair, it still is. The rich get so much and the poor barely get anything.

Poor Girl: "Finally! Someone understands me!"
