The Romans

We studied the Roman Empire recently and discovered many interesting things, cool things and gross things.

Julius Caesar

The first thing we learned about was Julius Caesar. We learned that Julius Caesar designed most of the great things in Rome such as the sewage system, he was one of the first to use housing estates and tall buildings. He was famous for wearing red boots. Unfortunately he was killed in the Senate because the power was going to his head. He wanted to become the most powerful emperor. He was killed by a man called Brutus.

Food

The next thing we learned was that Romans ate really weird food such as snails soaked in milk, boar's heads and brains soaked in sauce. Their main food was pottage, a bit like stew.

The Army

The next thing was the army. The Roman army was one of the tougest armys in the world. You would have to serve 25 years until they become a citizen of Rome.

Facts

Here are so more facts. In Rome children in Rome had no power. Their parents could get them executed for disobedience. After meals they would go to the vomititarium, probably becuase they ate gross food sometimes. They made one of the the first swimming pools. They called it the Romans baths.
