Latin is considered a dead language, it's still used in context, but does not have any native speakers. Latin didn't die, it changed and formed many different languages.  Into French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian. These are the Romance languages, using Latin as the root term for ROMance languages. Many other languages have been created, but these were just a few. 

All of these languages include some sort of connection with latin. This connection is mostly grammar. 

Latin is/was a language that was first used by small groups of people by the Tiber River, and it spread as the Roman empire grew. The oldest Latin dates back to the 7th century BCE. 

Latin; however,  became non-used due to its complexity. It was very hard to speak and write. Every word in Latin is based on many subjects (gender, tense, and etc.). Latin is still used in many cases today, for many reasons such as the roots of words used in many school subjects or just in general for everyday use. 

The picture down below is a picture of the Latin alphabet and how it relates to today, the letters are very similar and their pronunciation is also very similar to the way we say these letters.

What do you mean we still use Roman Architecture in homes?

Roman architecture was very unique, it used many techniques and it was inspired by many other big empires. However, it was still unique. 

The materials that were used changed every so often, and they mostly used things like marble, concrete, and bricks. 

The Roman architecture had many building types, it depended on the location in which the building was at. The main styles were the imperial and the republican which were built during these periods. 

The Romans mainly focused on the forum, the main city, the plaza. This was where people would meet up, the civic, religious, and economic heart of the city. 

Now, how do we still use this architecture in our lives, in our builds? We still use it whether you believe it or not. We still use things like concrete, marble, high ceilings, apartments, and much more other characteristics that made roman architecture what it was and what inspired us.]]> 2018-12-11 14:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/clawb0906/i903vh35tvkq/wish/313394157 Roman Education - Why did Rome only have only boys school? clawb0906 https://padlet.com/clawb0906/i903vh35tvkq/wish/313394833
In the beginning, kids did not go to school, their parents taught them. Boys were taught by the men only the basics and how to be a warrior. Girls; however, were taught by the women on how to do home chores. 

As the Roman Empire grew, Roman education was very complex, only boys went to school. Girls RARELY went to school. The school was not free however and most poor people did not get a proper education because it was way too expensive. Mostly rich people went to school, so the number of people that went to school was very small. AN theses schools were mostly located in the capital, so getting there was hard. 

Teachers taught reading and writing, but they also taught math and Greek literature, the main subject was public speaking.

Even though poor kids did not have proper education, they did learn how to read and write. 

Only girls, went to private school or studied at home where they learned the basics; reading, writing, and math. They also learned, like in the beginning, how to be good housewives. 

Later on in life, people would become writers or public speakers as that was the main purpose of school in the Roman Empire. ]]> 2018-12-11 14:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/clawb0906/i903vh35tvkq/wish/313394833 COMIC OF THE DAY - EATING LUNCH WITH A ROMAN... clawb0906 https://padlet.com/clawb0906/i903vh35tvkq/wish/313469703 2018-12-11 16:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/clawb0906/i903vh35tvkq/wish/313469703 Augustus, Gaius Octavius Thurinus, The Greatest Roman Emperor clawb0906 https://padlet.com/clawb0906/i903vh35tvkq/wish/313471972 Dead at 75, Augustus is still known as one of the most influential roman emperors.
