Its capacity was about 50,000 spectators. The Colosseum stands free today with no hillside help. Unlike most Stadiums today. The colosseum is basically the model for all the sports stadiums today.

ROMAN ART
12
What kind of statues were built? Lily Hubbard As we all know Rome had liked many of Greece’s ideas, but one thing that they might now share in common is their statues. Greece focused on beauty in their art work. But Rome was different on that subject. Rome had much more unattractive statues. They were more realistic and showed less attractive features such as warts and wrinkles. But just because their statues weren’t great doesn’t mean that they weren’t into art. Many of their buildings were like Greece. Statues were the only kind of art that was completely different.
13
What twist did Rome put on Greek art? It is well known that Rome was similar in Greek artstyle. Of course they had some differences but for the most part they were alike. They had used Greek style for buildings. They had Greek style torches and columns for buildings. Greece was popular for the columns they would have for their buildings. But Rome wasn’t the exact same as Greece.They added arches, which they were the first to build. This added a curved ceiling for their buildings. They were the first people to invent concrete with volcanic ash. This made buildings sturdier.

ROMAN ART FACT did you know that Roman artists mainly focused on making statues of gods and godesses?

By Enrique Ovalle Roman Daily Life

Farming Romans used mostly slaves to work in the fields. Slaves were widely available, and they provided cheap labor to work their fields. The fields were plowed with an ard-type plow, which is basically a heavy stick pulled by an ox. Later the Romans did add a coulter to the plow, which would help break up the soil before the plowshare would turn the soil over. Grain was harvested by hand until the first century A.D. At this time, a reaping machine called a vallas Roman Farming was invented in Gaul (modern day France) which allowed for an easier harvest. The wheat would be beaten to separate the chaff (outer covering) from the kernels. The beaten wheat were put into winnowing basket and then tossed into the air. The lighter chaff would blow away while the heavy grains would fall back to the basket. The Romans also employed a wooden sled known as a tribulum, which was pulled over the wheat to separate the chaff. They later imported from North Africa a Punic Cart which used a roller type device to press the grain. What was daily life in rome over 2000 years ago?

Besides wheat, two other primary crops were olives and grapes. Olives were squeezed in special presses for oil. The presses were designed not to crush the seeds which would give the oil a sour taste. Olive oil was used in cooking and also as fuel for lamps. Grapes were pressed either by treading on them or with a screw press to be made into wine. By 100 B.C. most farming was done on large estates. The owners of these estates often lived in town for the majority of the year. A manager, called a vilicus, supervised the farm work on the estate. Another person, the villica, would be in charge of the household. Often the villica and the villicus were slaves. The work on the estates was done in large part by slave laborers. Over ninety percent of the Romans lived and worked in the countryside. What was daily life in rome over 2000 years ago?

Romans believe in many gods and goddesses. They believed that people who pass that their spirit lived in natural things. Like trees and rivers, stuff like that. Many of that Greeks gods and goddesses were that same a Rome’s gods and goddesses. The only difference is that the were given Roman names. Also Roman emperors were worshiped. Which this was practice to strengthen and support for the government. All the Romans worshiped and honored the gods and goddesses by praying an offering goods. polytheistic Caroline White
24
Some of the persist while they were in the temples worshiping the important gods and goddesses. They would look fir messages from the gods. So they studied the insides of dead animals. Also they would watch birds in flight looking for a meaning. Dead animals and birds flight
25
The one thing I found interesting to Rome is their religion. Reason being is that Romans didn’t really make their own gods and goddesses. They just copied the Greek gods and goddesses, but changed their names. They didn't make anything gods of their own. So that was something I found interesting about Rome. Something I find interesting about Rome!!
26
Minerva It is assumed that her Roman name, Minerva, is based on this Etruscan mythology. Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, war, art, schools, and commerce. She was the Etruscan counterpart to the Greek goddess Athena. Minerva was one of the highest ranking Roman gods. Minerva started off as just a goddess then eventually the Romans elevated Minerva to one of the highest positions with Jupiter and Juno to form the main triad of the Roman religion, replacing an earlier triad of Jupiter, Mars and Quirinus.
27
Emperors were highly worshiped in ancient Rome. There were often temples and statues built for their Emperors. Emperors worship

Romans had altars in their homes so they could worship the gods from there. The head of the house would usually bring offerings and perform rituals. Many Romans believed that there was a god that would protect their homes, and they were worshiped in a home. There were two household gods, Janus and Vesta. Janus was the god of doorways and beginnings, and he had a guardian named Hence. Vesta was the goddess of the hearth, and this was a place for cooking and spiritual sacrifices. Household gods

Neptune is the god of the sea, and his brothers were Jupiter and Pluto. He was also the god of the horses and earthquakes. It is said that Neptune lived underwater while his brothers lived in the sky, and underground. Neptune supposedly had a bad temper, and he made many earthquakes with big waves. Neptune/Poseidon

Pompeii was a city in Italy that was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The volcano spread toxic gas and rubble all over the city which buried in for many years. Around two thousand people in Pompeii died from suffocating the ash that escaped the volcano. In 1748, the city was rediscovered and people noticed that Pompeii was still intact. The volcanic ash preserved the skeletons, buildings, and artifacts. Pompeii

Wht was Roman Science Engineering like? By Matthew.W HI how r ya?
33
How was Science and engineering like in Ancient Italy It complicated to built things in ancient Italy because they didn’t have modern technology so it took forever to complete
34
The Colosseum Was Built a long long long time ago somewhere in italy but that’s not important right now anyways Beste was able to engage reverse engineering paired vertical channels that he found in certain walls he had been working on the site for years until he realized that the distinctive slices in the wall near the vertical channels were likely for revolving bars of capstans that powered raising and lowering the cages and platforms.
35
The Colosseum The Colosseum had Sand flooring and had wood under it like most houses during that time period but also it had 2 floors main floor and basement type of floor. There was a lot of renovations done to the Colosseum to try to fix it but none of the renovations were ever complete and that’s why its look so weird to look at
36
The Colosseum The Colosseum was built a long time ago and are still standing today I think that’s cool that something that old can last so long before breaking I think that’s really cool that it has lasted this long and still standing from everything

The Colosseum Yay ^_^
39
The Colosseum was mainly used for the gladiators battles. It was mainly built out of stone and concrete. It took more than 1.1 million tons of concrete,stone, and brick to complete the Colosseum. It was built after the Roman victory in the first Roman-Jewish War. It seated 50,000 people. It covered 6 acres of land and is 620 feet long, 512 feet wide, and 158 feet tall. One species of elephants, called the North African Elephants, went extinct. They played a role in the entertainment. A very important animal segment that went down involved animals. They used this particular species of elephants, which eventually lead to them going extinct. -
