2. The legend says that the daughter of the king Numitor had twins baby boys. They were put into a basket and then the basket was washed ashore. They landed where there were three hills. The boys were called Romulus and Remus. Later on a female wolf came and she saw them and so she fed them her milk.

3. The shepherd Faustulus found Romulus and Remus and brought them into his home. The two brothers grew up. They arrived at the Palatine Hill and founded a settlement there. They argued over where the exact position of the city should be. Romulus grew jealous of Remus and killed his brother. Romulus founded Rome in the year 753 B.C and named the new city Rome after himself.

4. Gradually Romans expended their power and conquered a number of neighbouring peoples and took part in overseas wars. The wars were successful and increased the power and wealth of the upper classes. But the gulf beetween the rich and the poor gave rise to social conflicts and political crisis. The Roman Empire shaken by civil wars and barbarians broke into Western Roman Empire and Eastern Roman Empire in 476 AD.

5. Most of Romans were farmers. Some of the farmers were slaves. They grew wheat, barley, olives, grapes, apples, onions and celery. Also Romans were good at trade and at building roads.

6. The average Roman family consisted of father, mother, children, married sons, their family, and slaves. If you didn't get married by the age of 15-16, you were punished. The person who decided his children could marry was the head of the house, the father. The family was very important to Romans. Women were under control of their husbands but controlled how the house was run.

7. Religion played a very important role in the daily life of Ancient Rome and the Romans. The Romans believed that gods controlled their lives and, as a result, spent a great deal of their time worshipping them. The most important god was Jupiter. He was the king of gods who ruled with his wife Juno, the goddess of the sky.

11. Jesus Christ was born in Palestine, then part of the Roman Empire. In about 26 A.D. he began to preach, telling people that he was the son of God. Around 29 A.D. Jesus was killed by the Romans for inciting rebellion against Rome. He was crucified, which was a common and gruesome death. The followers of Jesus were soon given the nickname “Christians”. Christianity went through several changes in fortune from popular following to terrible Persecution (being picked on or bullied for religious or racial reasons or for thinking differently).
