Explain about the women in Roman Empire. And also explain about the cultural and social sphere of Roman Empire

Answer 1

Answer:

The culture of ancient Rome existed throughout the almost 1200-year history of the civilization of Ancient Rome. The term refers to the culture of the Roman Republic, later the Roman Empire, which at its peak covered an area from Lowland Scotland and Morocco to the Euphrates.

Life in ancient Rome revolved around the city of Rome, its famed seven hills, and its monumental architecture such as the Colosseum, Trajan's Forum, and the Pantheon. The city also had several theaters, gymnasia, and many taverns, baths, and brothels. Throughout the territory under ancient Rome's control, residential architecture ranged from very modest houses to country villas, and in the capital city of Rome, there were imperial residences on the elegant Palatine Hill, from which the word palace is derived. The vast majority of the population lived in the city center, packed into insulae (apartment blocks).

Explanation:

The city of Rome was the largest megalopolis of that time, with a population that may well have exceeded one million people, with a high-end estimate of 3.6 million and a low-end estimate of 450,000. A substantial proportion of the population under the city's jurisdiction lived in innumerable urban centers, with population of at least 10,000 and several military settlements, a very high rate of urbanization by pre-industrial standards. The most urbanized part of the Empire was Italy, which had an estimated rate of urbanization of 32%, the same rate of urbanization of England in 1800. Most Roman towns and cities had a forum, temples and the same type of buildings, on a smaller scale, as found in Rome. The large urban population required an endless supply of food which was a complex logistical task, including acquiring, transporting, storing and distribution of food for Rome and other urban centers. Italian farms supplied vegetables and fruits, but fish and meat were luxuries. Aqueducts were built to bring water to urban centers and wine and oil were imported from Hispania, Gaul and Africa.

Roman law and principles of governance are Rome's greatest contribution to the world. So complete was Rome's system of road linking all parts of empire that people could say 'All roads lead to Rome'. The Roman developed their own alphabet and the Latin language became the language of all educated people in western Europe. Latin words are still widely used in science, and Latin is the basis of several European languages - esp. French, Spanish & Italian. Lucretius, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius & Seneca were the famous Roman philosophers. Horace ('Odes') & Virgil ('Aeneid') were the famous Roman poets. Tacitus ('Annals' & 'Histories') was the most famous Roman historian and Pliny, the elder, was the another famous Roman historian. The Romans were the inventors of concrete and could firmly cement bricks and stones together. They also introduced two architectural improvements - the arch and cupolas or domes. Fights between gladiators or between a gladiator and a wild animal, was a popular Roman amusement. Special

arenas or amphitheatres were built for these contests. The ruins of the Colosseum, one of the greatest of arenas, can be seen in Rome.
