1. What military general was largely responsible for changing Rome from a republic to an empire?
Julius Caesar was convinced something had to change.
2. How were Roman emperors chosen during the first century?
For every great leader, such as Augustus, there was a tyrant like Caligula.
3. For how long did an emperor have the job?
It was a job for life, so if an emperor was mad, bad or dangerous, the only solution was to cut that life short. Everybody knew it, so paranoia ruled.
4. How would you describe the life of women in the empire?
Not much information exists about Roman women in the first century. Women were not allowed to be active in politics, so nobody wrote about them. Neither were they taught how to write, so they could not tell their own stories.
5. How was life different for rich and poor Romans?
Two Romans living at the same time in the same city could have very different lives. 6. What did gladiators do?
This ritual was adapted over time. The nobility began to put on gladiatorial exhibitions in memory of the dead and by the time Julius Caesar was in charge, these exhibitions had become public spectacles.
7. Where did the chariot races take place in Rome?
Chariot races took place in the Circus Maximus, a huge, oval shaped stadium that could seat nearly 200,000 spectators. The stadium had two long parallel sides and one rounded end with seating all around. The other end was filled with stables and starting boxes.
8. Who were two writers that chronicled the history and life of the Roman empire?
Roman mythology and thinking.
9. Our modern word, religion comes from the Latin word, religio. What does religio mean?
Roman religion was divided into two. Spirits watched over people, families and households, and the paterfamilias was in charge of the household worship that honored them.

1.Julius Caesar was convinced something had to change. Rising through the political ranks, he eventually became governor of Gaul. This gave him the chance to make lots of money, while his abilities as a general brought him power and respect..Augustus was largely responsible for changing Rome from a republic to an empire. 2.For most of this period,during the first century emperors were not chosen on the basis of their ability or honesty, but simply because they were born in the right family. 3.Emperor have the job for whole life. 4.Women were not allowed to be active in politics, so nobody wrote about them. Neither were they taught how to write, so they could not tell their own stories. 5.For wealthy Romans, life was good. They lived in beautiful houses – often on the hills outside Rome, away from the noise and the smell.they have more better life then poor peoples but Poorer Romans, however, could only dream of such a life. Sweating it out in the city, they lived in shabby, squalid houses that could collapse or burn at any moment. If times were hard, they might abandon newborn babies to the streets, hoping that someone else would take them in as a servant or slave. 6.They fought each other and animals in arenas. They often started out as captured warriors from a war and were sold into slavery as gladiators. There were gladiator schools and owner/investors. It was a big business. Sometimes a slave gladiator could gain his freedom by fighting well in the arena. This didn't happen often, but it did happen. They became famous. One of the biggest schools for gladiator's was across from the present site of the Colosseum . They were so close to it that a tunnel connected the school to the Colosseum. 7. Chariot races took place in the Circus Maxi mums, a huge, oval shaped stadium that could seat nearly 200,000 spectators. 8.Pliny the Elder’s multi-volume “Natural History” is fascinating for its insights into Roman mythology and thinking. Meanwhile, Seneca’s concerns about the battle between integrity and hypocrisy says much about the challenges of working for an Emperor such as Nero – particularly when the writer was committed to living a simple life. 9.In Latin, “religion” means “something that binds.” For Romans, religion was a force that bound families together, bound subjects to their ruler and bound men to the gods. ;D
