TASK

READING: PERIODS IN ROMAN HISTORY

The origins of Rome-

Legend and History 2,000 years ago Rome was the capital of the Roman Empire. The construction of Rome started in 753 B.C. The Romans had a story to explain how Rome began. Twin boys, Romulus and Remus, were the sons of Mars (the Roman god or war). An evil uncle took them as babies from their mother and threw them into the River Tiber. The babies floated to land, and a mother wolf fed and cared for them. Later a shepherd looked after the twins until they grew up.

Years later, Mars told his twin sons to build a city there. The city was Rome. One day, Remus made fun of the wall Romulus had built around the city. The twins argued, fought and Romulus killed Remus. Today, historians agree that people lived in Rome long before 753 B.C., but the legend is one of the most famous in world history.

The Monarchy

During the early years of Rome, the city was ruled by kings. Many of these kings were Etruscans, an old civilization from the north of Italy, which dominated Rome for many years. In those times, the kings and the Senate ruled the city.

Around 590 BC, Romans expelled the Etruscans kings from Rome. The last king of Rome was Tarquin the Proud.

The Republic

The Senate ruled the republic. Rich men called senators ran the government. Poor men (called plebeians) had much less power. The plebeians fought for fairer treatment. A plebeian was a free man, not a slave and could be a Roman citizen. People in lands conquered by the Romans could become citizens too. But women and slaves could not be citizens, so they could not vote in elections. Rich men and plebeians fought for the control of power.

By the 1st century BC, Rome conquered many areas in France, England, Spain, and the North of Africa. Rome was more than a republic, it was an empire. Some generals, like Julius Caesar, were so important than they became the rulers of Rome. But, Julius Caesar was murdered before he could become emperor.

The Empire

After years of fighting, Octavian, a Roman army leader became Emperor in 27 BC. Augustus was the first Emperor of Rome. The Empire lasted till 476 AD when it collapsed and was conquered by Germanic tribes known as barbarians.

The Roman Empire dominated the Mediterranean Sea (Mare Nostrum). Emperors extended the Empire throughout Europe, Africa and Asia. Hadrian decided to stop the conquest and built a wall between Roman Britain and Scotland (the Hadrian Wall). The Roman legions did not pass the border of the empire in Germany("limes"). But some of the emperors wanted to become gods and paid little attention to the good administration of the empire. After the 3rd century AD the empire entered a crisis till its collapse in 476 AD.

Empire In this political system the _______ rules a huge territory

3. Final report

 In groups of four, make a poster about a period of Roman History. Illustrate your poster with drawings or pictures. Write down the names of important characters, dates and facts. Use big letters and bright colours.


Session 3:

READING 1- ROMAN SOCIETY.

Social classes During the Era of the Republic (before 27 BC), two groups, patricians and plebeians, made up Roman society. Both of them were citizens.

Patricians

They were the descendants of the most ancient and powerful families (nobles), they were landowners, lived in large houses, and they had political power in the Senate.

Plebeians

They were artisans or peasants. They worked the patricians' land. They lived in apartments and they had no political rights.

There was a sharp divide between the patricians and the plebeians: the patricians married and did business only with the people of their class. The plebeians could become clients (obedient servants) of a patrician family. They offered their services and so received the protection of the head of the patrician family. Then, the head of this family became their patron.

Society in the Era of the Empire 27BC – 476AD .Becoming a Roman citizen.

During the Empire, social classes changed to include nobility, the middle class and the army. Among the nobles there was a change; many of the new rich people of the Provinces became members of the Senate.

In the cities of the Provinces, there was an active middle class: landowners, traders, professionals and state officers. Artisians were also included as a part of the Roman middle class.

Many people from the Provinces joined the army and received Roman citizenship. Being in the army did not only mean fighting, but colonizing, building roads, bridges and fortifications. The soldiers founded the first settlements of future cities and supervised their development and security.

READING 2. SLAVES.

Slaves were very important to the Romans. They did the hardest work and thanks to them, some Romans became very rich and powerful. Without slaves the Romans could not live as well as they did.

Who were the slaves? They were people frequently captured in battle and sent back to Rome. Later, Romans sold them. However, abandoned children could also become slaves. According to Roman law, fathers could sell their older children if they were in need of money. Wealthy Romans bought slaves in a market place. Young males were very expensive because they could work for a long time.

A slave was a slave for life. Only their owners could give them their freedom. When that happened, they became freedmen. They could also buy their freedom, if they had the amount of money that their masters had paid for them, which was virtually impossible. If a slave married and had children, the children automatically became slaves.

We assume that slaves were all poor, but this is not the case. There were teachers, cooks, etc., living normal lives in their masters' houses. Miners, however, suffered very difficult working conditions.

Historians think that 25% of all people in Rome were slaves.

3. Draw a four frame comic about one of these Roman characters: a slave, a freedman, a plebeian or a patrician. Use speech bubbles to create a story telling us about their role in Roman society.

4.Find the mistakes in the following paragraph. Circle them in red. After that, rewrite the corrected sentences in the box.

Patricians and plebeians forming the Roman society. Patricians have lands, servants and slaves. They were very powerful. Plebeians could worked for patricians as servants. They has no political rights. There was a lot of slaves, around 25% of Rome population. They belonged to a master. The master could gave them their freedom. They could also buy it.

Session 4:

1.JIGSAW READING. LIFE IN ROMAN CITIES.

The class will be divided into groups of five. Each student will have a different information sheet. You must read your part of the information sheet and work with your group member in order to fill in the boxes in the answer sheet.

Roman towns Information sheet 1

Romans lived in cities or towns. The built a lot of them all over the Empire. We still live in many of them. Londinium (London), Lutecia (Paris), Hispalis (Seville) or Corduba (Cordoba) are good examples of remaining Roman cities. These towns were the centre of the administration of their conquered territories. Some of them were originally army camps. These towns were very well organised in straight streets and rows of builidings. The main roads were called "cardus", from South to North, and "decumanus", from East to West. At the crossroads were open squares, called a "forum". The forum was a kind of large courtyard, and it was a meeting place for citizens to talk, to sell and buy goods in the market, and for political assemblies. ________________________________________________________________

Houses Information sheet 2

Wealthy people lived in "villas" near cities, in the countryside. But, in towns, Romans usually lived in "domus" and "insulae". Domus were organised around a central courtyard called an "atrium" where there was a pool or a fountain. Bedrooms and dining rooms surrounded the courtyard. There was a space for a shop in the corner. It was a shop called "taverna". But most people lived in "insulae", or apartment buildings, with small flats inside. These blocks sometimes had more than six floors! ________________________________________________________________

 Working time Information sheet 3

Working occupied just a few hours in the morning until afternoon. During this time, people did several activities around town: craftwork and trade were the most significant. Plebeians and free people were the workshop owners and sometimes they needed slaves for labour. Blacksmiths and potters were very common. But Roman trade was very strong among towns and, thanks to a great road network, very easy to do. Olive oil from Betica , in Spain, or Greek pottery were very important. ________________________________________________________________

Lunch Information sheet 4

Work stopped in the afternoon, for lunch. The Roman diet consisted mainly of bread, wine, olive oil, and some fish. Sometimes they added meat. Lentils, onions and beans were also very common. The type of food that people ate showed how wealthy they were. One of the favourite sauces was called "garum". It was made of tuna guts, spices, olive oil, and vinegar. It came from the South of Spain. ______________________________________________________________

Leisure Information sheet 5

 After lunch, leisure time started and Roman cities were full of buildings for it. The Romans had plenty of time to enjoy them. Baths, theatres and circuses were places to enjoy life. Baths were very popular among Romans. They could get into the hot, warm or cold pools (caldarium, tepidarium and frigidarium) to relax, and, later on, they could practice sports on the "palestra". They often boxed or wrestled. After this, they could go to the theatre to see a Greek drama or comedy. One of the favourite shows were the gladiator fights and the chariot races. Patricians, Senators and Generals supported and paid for these shows. At night, some rich Romans served luxurious and unusual food at dinner parties in their "villas". These parties lasted a long time. Slaves served food and wine and musicians and dancers helped them to enjoy the night

3.Vocabulary.

Circle the odd word out in blue. theatre French Bishop law calendar goddess Italian Pope town month circus Latin Bridge regulations July amphitheatre Portuguese Catholic code gladiator

READING WORKSHEET. ROMAN LEGACY.

BUILDINGS

We can find Roman buildings in Europe, North Africa and Middle East.

Roman roads are still in use in Spain for sheperds and their sheep. They go from the North of Spain to the warmer South via these roads. Rome was supplied with goods from the Empire through a wide network of roads beginning in Rome.

Theatres, amphiteatres and the circus were very popular. Romans enjoyed watching shows like chariot racing or gladiator fights. Today, you can still see some of these places like the Circus Maximus, the Coliseum in Rome or the theater in Merida. All of these places are examples of Roman buildings used for entertainment.

Aqueducts brought water to Roman cities. Segovia, Mérida or Nimes still have good examples of ancient aqueducts.

Bridges crossed over every river across the Empire. The Alcantara bridge, in Spain, is a masterpiece of engineering.

 LAW

Romans kept their rules and regulations in written laws. This system started with the Twelve Tablets (749BC) and ended with the law code ordered by Justinian I (6th century). Roman law is the foundation of most legal systems in Europe, and its former colonies, as well as Japan.

LANGUAGE

Romans spoke Latin. Latin is the mother language of all Romance languages: Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Romanian, etc. English also has Latin words. Many students around the world study it at school.

It is the official language of the Vatican state, in Rome.

 Zoologists and botanists use it to name and describe new plants and animals. Scientists have used it as a common language for centuries.

TOWNS

Romans founded a great number of cities and towns across the Empire. They were the centre of Roman life. We live on top many of them. London, Paris, Seville, Colone and Cordoba... were all Roman towns.

CALENDAR

The Roman calendar is the base of our western calendar. We made some changes in the Middle Ages to fix some astronomical problems. July and August refer to the Roman Emperors Julius Caesar and Augustus. The other names of the months also come from the Roman calendar.

RELIGION

Although Romans believed in many gods and worshipped foreign gods and goddesses (like the Egyptian Isis) in temples, they finally became Christians after Constantine the Great converted (4th century A.D.). Nowadays, Christianity is spread all over the world. Rome is the centre of the Catholic world, and the Pope is the bishop of Rome.
