Rome possibly had the strictest rules in history and the
- 00:09 - 00:12
most interesting stories you may ever hear slavery was at
- 00:12 - 00:16
its peak in popularity, conflicts between riches were held and
- 00:16 - 00:20
all the romans lives greatly different romance had many different
- 00:20 - 00:21
classes from rich to poor.
- 00:22 - 00:24
The majority of Rome is poor and they had no
- 00:24 - 00:27
jobs and the poor were mostly slaves and were mostly
- 00:27 - 00:28
never paid for their work.
- 00:29 - 00:36
These romans only survive from support from the government, since
- 00:36 - 00:39
the majority of Rome was poor, getting to know more
- 00:39 - 00:41
about them is a key aspect of knowing about the
- 00:41 - 00:41
roman daily life.
- 00:43 - 00:46
These poor romans had lived in cramped rundown apartments made
- 00:47 - 00:49
from this material cost for there to be fires that
- 00:49 - 00:52
spread around cities quickly, destroying many houses.
- 00:52 - 00:53
That the part I loved it.
- 00:55 - 00:57
These apartments had no running water, no toilets in, no
- 00:57 - 01:00
kitchens. This means that human waste was dumped out of
- 01:00 - 01:00
the window.
- 01:02 - 01:06
On the contrary, french citizens lived in big, elegant hunks
- 01:07 - 01:09
located in cities in Rome yeah, Logan cities.
- 01:11 - 01:13
These romans also owned a villa is also known as
- 01:13 - 01:14
a large country estate.
- 01:14 - 01:18
For entertainment purposes, entertainers such as musicians, dancers and poets
- 01:19 - 01:20
entertain them up.
- 01:20 - 01:21
The rich were eating their dinner.
- 01:22 - 01:25
The retiring had even many foods for a normal day.
- 01:25 - 01:28

ostrich and and flamingo, and sometimes a dormouse dormouse is

Food was a challenge with poor romans.
- 01:49 - 01:51
Since the poor citizens only strive from support from the
- 01:51 - 01:56
government, the poor had only lived on wheat, the government
- 01:57 - 01:58
provided for them.
- 01:58 - 02:01
These romans rely on the government, so much so that
- 02:01 - 02:03
if the harvest was better, the shipment of we came
- 02:04 - 02:06
late, the poor romans would have to riot.
- 02:07 - 02:08
This has inspired the government to create circuses.
- 02:09 - 02:12
This would occupy citizens so that the wheat shipments would
- 02:12 - 02:13
come without them riding.

Before gladiators went into battle, they paraded onto the colosseum.
- 02:34 - 02:37
The battles ended when a gladiator was dying or dead.
- 02:38 - 02:40
Some romans had never approved of these battles and deemed
- 02:40 - 02:46
as pure flat, although some, although sometimes a gladiator's life
- 02:47 - 02:49
was spared, depending on how well they bought.

Former slaves were not former slaves, jobs were not just

risking, but their work was tough.

The slaves were shamed together while working and sleep me
- 04:36 - 04:39
and this causing for work to be tough for them.
- 04:39 - 04:42
Some slaves were paid for the work, but most of

that would never happen.
