The Romans kept only strong, healthy babies. If the father didn’t approve of a newborn, it was left outside to die or to be claimed as a slave. ]]> 2016-10-26 12:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/133285943 ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/133286304 Roman girls did not have a ceremony to mark the end of childhood. They became adults when they were married, usually between the ages of 12 and 18. Weddings were held at a temple. The bride wore a white toga with a long veil. The groom also wore a white toga, along with leather shoes that he had shined with animal fat. But the new husband did not become a paterfamilias until his own father died.

For instance, they might leave a clay foot to remind the god which part of the body to cure.]]> 2016-10-26 12:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/133287694 ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/133287809 Festivals and holidays, or “holy days,” were held throughout the year to honor the gods. But religion was also a part of daily life. Each home had an altar where the family worshipped its own household gods and spirits. The family hearth, or fireplace, was sacred to the goddess Vesta. During the main meal, the family threw a small cake into the fire as an offering to Vesta.]]> 2016-10-26 12:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/133287809 Section 7 ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/133287986 Housing]]> 2016-10-26 12:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/133287986 ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/133288049 Like food, housing was very different in Rome for the rich and for the poor. The spacious, airy homes of the rich stood side by side with the small, dark apartments that housed the poor. Wealthy Romans lived in grand houses, built of stone and marble. Thick walls shut out the noise and dirt of the city. Inside the front door was a hall called an atrium where the family received guests. An indoor pool helped to keep the atrium cool. An opening in the roof let in plenty of light.

Many poor children in Rome were sent to work instead of to school. They learned trades, such as leatherworking and metalworking, to help earn money for their families.

In wealthier families, boys and girls were tutored by their fathers, or often by slaves, until they were about six years old. Then boys went off to school. Classes were held in public buildings and private homes. Many of the tutors were educated Greek slaves.

Roman boys learned Latin, Greek, math, science, literature, music, and public speaking. They typically became soldiers, doctors, politicians, or lawyers. Girls might become dentists, real estate agents, or tutors. Some female slaves or freedwomen could become midwives (nurses who helped with childbirth).]]> 2016-10-31 13:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134216077 Section 6 ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134217095 Food and Drink]]> 2016-10-31 13:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134217095 ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134217512 What Romans cooked and ate depended on whether they were rich or poor. Only the rich had kitchens in their homes. The poor cooked on small grills and depended on “fast-food” places called thermopolia, the fast food places of then 

The main foods in ancient Rome were bread, beans, spices, a few vegetables, cheeses, and meats. Favorite drinks included plain water and hot water with herbs and honey.

For dinner, poor Romans might have chunks of fish along with some asparagus and a fig for dessert. Wealthy Romans ate more elaborate dinners.Besides the main part of the meal, they had special appetizers. Some favorites were mice cooked in honey, roasted parrots stuffed with dates, salted jellyfish, and snails dipped in milk.

The main food today depends on your heritage and/or economic status

Today for dinner we would generally eat some type of meat with a vegetable and some water. ]]> 2016-10-31 13:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134219880 Education ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134220616 Today education is almost accesible by everyone even the poor. It is now illegal for children to work in places such as leather working and metal working so they go to school

In richer families today boys and girls might go to private schools

Today we learn Science, Math, History, Sometimes music, English, Health, and Pe, and a foreign language

Today during dinner most people sit at a table and eat together as a family while others watch tv or do something while eating dinner]]> 2016-11-01 11:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134431581 Religion ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134434996 Today sadly Religion isnt as important in some peoples lives at it was. While there isnt a specific religion anymore there are certainly ones that dominate other in sheer density of people.
 
When someone is sick or inkured today we will take them to a doctors to get medicine or we will treat them from home if it isnt serious

There are many days today in which we take breaks for religion such as christmas, easter, Rosh sha shana, Yom Kippur and many more ]]> 2016-11-01 11:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134434996 Family life ronanfritz_22 https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134435546 Today the family is normally ruled by the parents of the family or one specific parent.

Today babies are born in hospitals and we keep all babies no matter what, If someone doesnt want the baby then they can take it to an adoption center to where someone else can take care of it, If the person is feeling evil then they can go to an abortion clinic to get the baby "removed" we do this today because apparently in the womb doesn't count as being "Alive"

Today Girls have a bigger ceremony than guys do to end their childhoods such as Sweet 16s, baby showers, and "landmark" birthdays. Today people have to legally marry above the age of 18 and the bride normally wears a dress and the groom would wear a suit]]> 2016-11-01 12:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ronanfritz_22/udktluqgh1ku/wish/134435546
