  2. This video is big but it is very interesting and contains a lot of information It starts with the Jupiter Optimus Maximus temple at the Capitoline hill at the Tiber island. Then it says the year: 320 A.D. The emperor is Constantine the Great. It also talks about the Pantheon wich looks like a normal temple until you get in. It is just so amazing. It also talks about the circus Maxmus wich behind it exists the imperial palace. The emperor usually liked to see the games. He could see it from a palace box in the public or through the palace. The circus's games where: Chariot races, parades and others. The imperial palace was also the center government. The Colosseum was another place that Romans enjoyed. They saw gladiators fight animals and other gladiators. There Romans were a little racists. They commanded that women and slaves had to sit up there, while they could sit at the front. The Romans where actually lazy. They enjoyed being relaxed and lazy.

  3. I saw like tour in Ancient Rome.Temple of "Jupiter Optimus Maximus"was a temple with two sides:the city and in the other side the city.Capitoline Hill was considerated the temple of the State.They expanded and expanded the city.The circus Maximus and the colesseum were places of enterteinment.I noticed that the people who fought were named "gladiators",the slaves and women were siting up in the last roe when they went to the colesseum.When they talked me about Rome I imagined a little city with few people but when the people told me the true and showed me videos I realised that it is enormous.

  4. This was a really cool video about Ancient Rome, they did an almost-full-Rome tour. There were: very important buildings, the Tiber River (which separated Rome in 2 parts),Temples, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Capitoline hill, Palatine hill and others.
    I also noticed that in the virtual restructure of Ancient Rome, they put every little piece of what the historians, archaeologists and scientists found about Ancient Rome(320 E.C.)
    The real fact that confirmed my studies was the tour and virtual restructure. That blew my mind.

  5. In this video I saw a lot of houses all close one to other. Some temples and a lot of places like one wall that had water on the top the Colosseum, etc.
    I noticed that Ancient Rome was very big that there were 2 million people in Rome.
    It connected with what I know because in Ancient Greek there were a lot of temples and a lot of buildings. And São Paulo is very big with a lot of houses and a lot of people.
    The conclusion that I came to is that Rome is very good, fun and beautiful, and the Colosseum very big. In Rome the temples were at the top of the mountains. And there was a lot of water and rivers. Rome was different because there weren´t any buildings.

  6. Ancient Rome

    Ancient Rome was a very powerful city. There was a giant building that was called Coliseum. In there were gladiators that fought against each other. Gladiators were people that fought, they were slaves. The king had a place just for him.
    Ancient Rome had a very smart thing, it was called "AQUEDUCT". The aqueduct were pipes that passed to all places of Rome giving it water.
    The Romans had clothes with almost no colors. The normal persons had clthes brown and gray. The red/blue and green were just for rich people or kings.
    The Romans had a architecture which was very diferente, they got aspects of Ancient Greek. It was almost as if all buildings made from rock,wood and large pillars. They created a new style of architecture and it was very good.

  7. So, now I am going to write about Rome in 320 C.E.
    A long time ago, the Romans had a lot of wars, that´s why some parts of the city was destroyed.
    There are two main places in Rome, they were, the Colosseum and the Pantheon, they were too close to each other.
    The most famous circus of Rome is called Circus Maximus, where they did charriot races.
    The Aqua Claudia is wher the water frome the mountains was brought to the city.
    The main river of Rome is called the Tiber River. But I don´t just understand why all Ancient cities had a main river, like in Egypt is called the Nille River.

  8. The ancient civilization was not so destroyed how is today. There were some temples, stadiums and many other things.They had horse racing on front of the palace.And they had a colosseum, but it wasn't called like this,they called from the god of the sun. All the constructions were made with hard work and they always kept doing this.
    There were a construction that the sunlight was used like a clock. Some constructions were made of marble and one type of rock. In the colosseum, they fought with animals, to see who were the best gladiators. The gladiators fought until the death.

  9. Here comes a story, a story from Rome , Ancient Rome I believe. Here it goes, ancient Rome was a huge (well, not soo.. big) land that started millions of years ago. In Rome there was a River, a river called Tiber River and that river was really interesting because it separated Rome in two different cities. there is a big structure in Rome It's called the Coliseum. It was used for gladiators fights, Chariot races and many ,many more. People watch the games there but, the people have to sit in certain places like the slaves and the children sat at the top. The farthest down the bottom were the most important people like the priests ,queen , king, and so on. Some people even reserve their seats there! Rome had seven hill counted in total. Aqua Claudia is a special bridge. There water flowes at the top and people nowadays wonder how the got the water always flowing. Some people call Aqua Claudia Aquada or short. There was also a circus there called Circus Maximus. But I think your not thinking about the right one because this circus was a circus for fighting too also chariot races. There is a palace called Imorrtal Palace and it was connected so the people that lived there could watch trough the windows. In Rome they built a public bath for everyone to use. In the bath there were many tempretured baths like freezing ,cold ,warm, hot , burning, and many more. there is also a temple that is really cool you may think the outside is boring but maybe not the inside. In the inside the is a dome in the middle that shines its way through. IN the out side there is colomns (that are like three meters long!) that they got from Egypt thts really far away! If You need more information reply and tell me you do and I will tell you more.

  10. Rome was a really developed place in that time, it was so good it even had aqueducts and public bath houses which were like saunas and much more...
    What did I noticed?
    Well I noticed that the Romans were relaxed and lazy but if someone atacked Rome, the military would protect the city of Rome, Romans were lazy because they woudn't be worried if Rome was atacked cause they knew the army could deal with it.
    Construction:
    There were many beautiful constructions in Rome like a giant Colosseum and lots of things and buildings like the public bath places and the aqueducts that took water to people.
    My interests:
    Basically I think Rome had something called Ancient strategy because all countries had no chance to conquer Roman Soldiers.
    Rome had dominated lots of countries until they got weaker and those countries got their land back. The war came and the destruction and with that people died and suffered.
    My conclusion:
    Today Rome is a destructed city.. but people still live there and it's still beautiful. On 320 B.C. Rome was powerful and developed with no destructions and giant groups of military and security...
    Well those were my thoughts about Rome and my personal response/commentary.

  15. In a video that I saw, it was about Ancient Rome, I noticed that is was very difficultt to understand how those Ancient Romers lived together. There were some communities that lived next to the Tiber Island. Sometimes there was the Circus Races, and rome was very famous for its aquaducts. There was a statue of the sun god Colosis. There was a very big temple of Rome.The Venus temple. Ancient Rome had lots of places.

  16. In this video of Ancient Rome, it showed how the city started along the Tiber River. I learned how the city got water from the aquaducts and the biggest temple was Venus. I found the aquaducts very interesting as I had never seen anything like that before.

  17. The Imperial palace is where important people visited. I also discovered that Ben Hurr was filmed in the Circus Maximus and the city got water from the aquaducts. I think Ancient Rome was really developed.

  19. When you first think of Ancient Rome you think they desorganized but they are actually not they are very organized. They had many temples the biggest one of Venus & Rome. In Ancient Rome there were many places now a days "historic" like the Colosseum, where the gladiators fought, some others places like where they watch the Chariot Races at the Circus Maximus or even The Pantheon who was dedicated to all Emperor´s.
    The Roman´s Forum was where the people in the city buy things, it was like a village. As Roman´s didn´t have a bath in their houses they had a public bath called Bath of Trajans. Ancient Rome system of water was by the aquaducts who passed water to all the city. That´s a bit about what I have learned about the Ancient Rome.
