- Daily Life in the Roman Empire Dialogue Assignment
- “Life is great in the Roman Empire!”
- “Rome is an amazing place if you have money. For example,..."
- “Not for all of us! What’s so good about your daily life?”
- Houses
- “I live in a giant Villa made out of stone and marble with a full kitchen with thick walls to cancel out noise.”
- “Well aren’t you spoiled, I live in a cramped apartment that's really dirty and carries with disease. My house also has a very high risk of burning down because it is mostly made of wood.”
- Food and drink
- “Sucks to be you I guess. I have a kitchen in my house and I get to have mice cooked in honey, roasted parrots stuffed with dates, salted jellyfish, and snails dipped in milk. I also get to drink plain water and hot water with herbs and honey. What do you get to eat?”
- “Oh my god, this is so unfair. I have to cook on a small grill that gives my house a chance to burn down. I also only have chunks of fish along with some asparagus and a fig for dessert. We have to depend on “fast-food” places called thermopolia, which isn't very fun.”
- Education
- "When I was growing up I was taught by my Father and sometimes by my slaves until I was six. I was then sent off to school which was held at a private home and sometimes in a public classroom which were taught by slaves. I had to study until I was sixteen years old. What do you think of that!?"
- “I can't believe this, when I was a child I was sent to work instead of school. I learned trades, such as leatherworking and metalworking, to help earn money for their families. I was so poor I couldn't even go to school.”
- law and order
- "The police keep an eye on my neighborhood all the time.I try to hide my wealth by wearing old, dirty togas when I travel at night. I am told to never go outdoors alone, even during the day. When we commit a crime we don’t have to face a cruel punishment."
- "I don’t even matter. The poor neighborhoods never got patrolled by officers, only the rich neighborhoods. We are sometimes tortured if we commit a crime and we weren’t even considered citizens."
- Rich vs Poor
- The End
