The
Romans were the people from a city
called Rome in what is now Italy.
Rome was the greatest city of its
time. The Romans were very
clever and very good at organising
things.
About
1,800 years ago Rome was the centre
of a big empire. Roman
soldiers had conquered large parts
of Europe and North Africa.
The Roman army would return to Rome
and march through the city to show
off all the riches they had
plundered from the people they had
beaten.
Did you know that slaves in Ancient
Rome made up to 40% of the
population? In Ancient Rome,
only boys went to school. The girls
stayed at home. Asparagus was
a highly prized delicacy and was
kept frozen in the Alps for feasts
and festivals.
