The Romans had their own type of ball game called the "Roman Ball." Ancient Romans loved to play this ball games. Ball games were the most favorite non-violent sport.It was also the most popular among the Romans. Romans often spent their morning exercises playing games on the field. Boys and even men played in teams. The object was to throw the ball into the middle of the circle and at someone else. If they miss, then the thrower would get a point.

comparing between ancient Rome an the world today

The ancient Rome was polytheist, so they have a lot of gods; the heroes were mostly the sons of the gods and they were consider as that because they fight against mythologist monsters and grate armies the most important were Hercules, Hersilia, Dido, Aeneas, Camilla, Faustulus and Horatii. The heroes in our days are the people who fight against the world injuries, like Uribe in Colombia or the Juan Pablo II and the madre Teresa de Calcuta, from the world, because they fight for world peace.
The Romes invent a lot of things but they were mostly focus on the construction. They invent the concrete, the sewages and heating; they were grate engineerings and architects, they construct the Colisseum, amphitheaters, domes for all their gods, underwater port facilities, aqueducts and roads. They make great works, but they did not were good at inventing machines. Today the construction have evolve a lot, but it still use materials from the ancient Rome, like the concrete, and they also modify and perfect the sewages and heatings, but essential things come from the ancient Rome. Today are a lot of inventions, not only machines, also things related with the human body, that’s why this is the century of the inventions.
In the ancient Rome the trade was very different than now in this time people change things through a barter with the Mediterranean, more Later was created in the same rome currency as a way to change this currency was under,Today is not common barter because every governing trade in the new currency.
Today all countries of the world are industry since this is the most important thing for the world economy of most developed countries are those that have more business and drive the economy, but in the ancient Rome hadn’t large factories, in this time the most importation institution was the state.

Roman's family

Romans Family Life

The family was very important to the Romans, as a result it was the center of this ancient civilization. The ancient Romans live in a time of wars and conquests, what due to an important space in the society, the slaves. As a result the average Roman family consisted of father, mother, children, married sons and slaves. If you didn't get married by the age of 15-16, then you were punished. The father was the most important member of the family, the mother and the children were never seen as important, consequently he was the person who decided who his children marry and also had the power of life or death over everyone, finally when a new baby was born it would be laid at its father's feet, if the father picked the baby up it would live, and if he ignored the baby it would be taken away to die. The father was known as PATERFAMILIAS. For women was quite hard. Women were under control of their husbands but controlled how the house was run as a result were known as the MATERFAMILIAS.

Roman Schools

Rome didn't have any public schools, as a result most children went to private school or studied at home, where many times the slaves taught them. Their subjects were reading, writing, and arithmetic. Before the age of fourteen, they studied Latin and Greek.
