any of our modern Western weddding customs can be traced back to ancient Rome, and the historical record includes sufficient information to create a plausible reconstruction of a Roman ceremony.
We (Patricia and William) are not scholars, but have spent many years pursuing an interest in ancient history in general and Roman history in particular. When we decided to marry, we also decided to create a wedding ceremony which would combine Roman traditions with ritual elements meaningful ...

ARENA: GLADIATORIAL GAMES
Like chariot racing, contests of gladiators probably originated as funeral games; these contests were much less ancient than races, however. The first recorded gladiatorial combat in Rome occurred when three pairs of gladiators fought to the death during the funeral of Junius Brutus in 264 BCE, though others may have been held earlier. Gladiatorial games (called munera since they were originally “duties” paid to dead ancestors) gradually lost their exclusive connec ...

Arena, Baths, Circus, Theater: This model of central Rome in the fourth century CE highlights the major sites for public leisure and entertainment activities, each with its own monumental buildings specially designed to facilitate the activity. Separate pages are devoted to the first three, which had much greater prominence in the life of the ordinary Roman of imperial times than the theater did. Since all wheeled vehicles were banned from city streets during daylight hours, wealthy Romans, me ...

Ball-playing was popular among the Romans, and they often spent their morning exercises playing games on the fields (palaestra) or ball-courts (sphaerista). The Romans enjoyed a variety of ball games, including Handball (Expulsim Ludere), Trigon, Soccer, Field Hockey, Harpasta, Phaininda, Episkyros, and certainly Catch and other games that children might invent, like perhaps Dodge Ball. Pila was the term used for ball playing in general, but is here used to define the circular version of ...

ROMAN BATHS AND BATHING
Of all the leisure activities, bathing was surely the most important for the greatest number of Romans, since it was part of the daily regimen for men of all classes, and many women as well. We think of bathing as a very private activity conducted in the home, but bathing in Rome was a communal activity, conducted for the most part in public facilities that in some ways resembled modern spas or health clubs (although they were far less expensive). A modern scholar, F ...

Roman Life Expectancy
NB: All the figures below are approximations based on comparative evidence, rather than on the (largely inadequate) ancient statistical data. Among other potential problems:
(1) Several scholars would hold that the average life expectancy at birth assumed below (25 years) is too optimistic, at least for most ancient populations (NB: keep in mind that life-expectancy-at-birth is a mean, not a median; high infant mortality conceals the susbstantial number of people who will ...

Music filled the lives of the Romans -- from private nightly dining to festive public celebrations, from serious musical performances to military parades, and from solemn to wildly erotic religious rituals. Here are their instruments, sans muzique, except for what your imagination might provide.
The Roman lute predates the Medieval lute, the true forerunner of the guitar, but was itself preceded by the Greek and the Egyptian lute. Click on the title above for more info.

Salvete amici,
As you can see, my focus, as per my title, will be a look back. The lives of women throughout the centuries of Rome's rise and fall, are facinating. The power, position, name, beauty, courage, fame and infamy, regardless of class and social station, wielded by these historic women is a tale to be told.
I hope to try.
A great deal is known by many of the political and warring strength of Rome and her men of valor and treachery. And well should the ...
