- Daily Life In The Roman Empire
- Rome is an amazing place if you have money. For example, . . .
- “Life is great in the Roman Empire!”
- Not for all of us! What’s so good about your daily life?
- My house is made of marble. Whenever we throw parties, the guests lay on couches and food is served to them by a slave.
- Housing
- Unlike you we are forced to live in dirty, crammed apartments. They are filled with disease carrying rats causing sickness to spread rapidly and dangerously. Fire is another danger to us as our homes are made of wood and our cooking grills catch fire quickly.
- Food And Drink
- As for food, we have kitchens in our home and we frequently have special appetizers like jellyfish and stuffed parrot
- What's so fair about your choices of food? We are forced to eat foods such as small chunks of fish and asparagus with a fig for dinner. We are also forced to cook on small dirty grills for food.
- We are given worse punishments than the rich, they treat us unfairly compared to you.
- Law And Order
- The police keep an eye on my neighborhood often
- Recreation
- Despite also being able to attend the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus, we are forced to sit on wooden benches high above them forced to sit in the hot sun, unlike you.
- Whenever I go to watch a gladiator fight, I get to sit on a front row, padded seat in the shade.
