		A Roman Wedding ^Votes:0 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 to us as individuals. We created this ceremony partly because we respected the Roman idea of marriage as a stabilizing force in society, and partly because we thought it would be fun. It was. This site is a chronicle of our wedding, a resource for the student of Roman social history, and a guide for anyone see Read More Go to Site

		Gladiatorial Games ^Votes:0 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 connection with the funerals of individuals and became an important part of the public spectacles staged by politicians and emperors (click here for some modern assessments of the cultural meaning of the arena). The popularity of gladiatorial games is indicated by the large number of wall paintings Read More Go to Site

		Leisure and Entertainment ^Votes:0 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, men as well as women, were often carried from place to place by their slaves in litters, which resembled a canopied lectus with carrying poles. This reconstructed litter shows the basic design; a cushion would be placed inside and curtains could be drawn around the canopy to protect the master or mis Read More Go to Site

		Roman Baths ^Votes:0 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, Fikret YegÜl, sums up the significance of Roman baths in the following way ( Baths and Bathing in Classical Antiquity . Cambridge: MIT, 1992): The universal acceptance of bathing as a central event in daily life belongs to the Roman world and it is hardly an exaggeration to say that at the height of the e Read More Go to Site

		Roman Life Expectancy ^Votes:0 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 live well past this age.) (2) These broad estimates do not allow us to account for possible variation across areas, socio-economic classes, or sex.

Close to 4,000 years ago, about 1700 B.C., the Minoan Palace of Knossos on the isle of Crete featured four separate drainage systems that emptied into the great sewers constructed of stone. Terra cotta pipe was laid beneath the palace floor, hidden from view. Each section was about 2 1/2' long, slightly tapered at one end, and nearly 1" in diameter. It provided water for fountains and faucets of marble, gold and silver that jetted hot and cold running water. Harbored in the pal Read More Go to Site
