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
