   In ancient Rome, girls and boys were treated
  differently because girls were taught to stay in
the household while boys had to learn how to fight
             and provide for his family.




 In ancient Rome, there were different social classes. The young boys
 in this picture, look to be a mixture of rich and poor children. They are
 all studying and are being taught by the man in the center.
 Schooling for children was usually held in any location that was
 available. A street corner, inside the marketplace, or even in the town
 square. Education consisted of mathematics, history, grammar,
 geography, law, and Greek. It was much more important for boys to
 have an education although some girls did attend school.
 Boys, as well as attending school had to learn basic warfare in
 preparation for the military. They were inducted into adulthood at the
 age of 16 with a special ceremony that lets them exchange their toga
 praetexta for togo virilis that was plain white.

 The boy in this picture is young and interacting with a goose. He
 looks to be playing with the goose but it seems as if he is
 strangling it. This was probably part of his recreational time as a
 kid.
 The Romans believed in strong children. They did this in a way
 that was not very nice to children. Warm water was said to make
 children to soft. Instead, the Romans would only bathe their
 babies in ice cold water. Within the first months of a babies birth,
 they were wrapped tightly in cloth to prevent any movement.
 Mothers or female caretakers would tie the child's arms and legs
 to sticks to keep them straight. They would be released from the
 sticks only for their bathes. When child is born, they don't
 normally have a round head. To fix this, a nurse would knead the
 baby's head into a pleasant shape.

Augustus was one of the leaders of Rome. The boy in this picture is wearing a
cloth and has short hair which could symbolize wealth. He may have been a
prince of Augustus or the son of an important Roman.

Boys in ancient Rome, took after what their fathers did. The would always keep
up a business or take over the throne if that is what their father did. As well as
keeping professions, they were taught to uphold their families.

While boys were out following in the footsteps of their fathers, girls had to
understand that their father would pick them a husband based off of wealth and
political needs later in life.

Marriages in Rome, normally occur when the the girl is 18.
She doesn't pick her husband, her father chooses one for her.
He bases his decision off of wealth and needs later in life.
When a girl is born she is given a bulla necklace that she wears
until the day she is married.

When a girl is married, her father discusses the size of
dowry with the groom's family. The ancient Romans believed
that money was much more important than love.

   The Romans were known for their art. They incorporated some
   of this art into their homes. Most of the exterior's of Roman
   homes were very plain and did not have much art. However, the
   doorways to the homes were made with very intricate designs
   and were different for every house. Each one was very distinct.
   The one portrayed in the picture, has little flowers on it. The run
   through the entire piece. There are also leaves that go along
   with the flowers. Every so often, there are little doves. This
   doorway must symbolize peace and freedom.

 In ancient Greece, the society was controlled by
  men and you could see differences in the ways
boys and girls were treated from a very young age
                    in Athens.




   This sculpture portrays a young, gentle child playing thoughtfully
   with a dove. Her peplos (tunic) is not clasped and opens at the
   side. This is a stele which means it shows a sculpture of a person
   when they died, so this must mean this Greek girl died at a very
   young age. Girls in Athens played with dolls made of wood, bone,
   clay, or rag and intricate doll houses as children for recreation,
   and weren’t normally sent to school for educational purposes.

  The young woman at right is wearing a full-length peplos
  Additionally, she has pinned to her shoulders a short mantle
  that falls down her back. This distinctive manner of dress
  was apparently reserved for young virgins who had the
  honor of of sacrificing, carrying in a basket barley and a
  knife. Being a kanephoros (basket bearer) was the highest
  honor possible for a woman before marriage. Many women
  died giving birth, which was a sacrifice they were expected
  to make.

   This sculpture shows what I think to be a family together
   mourning the death of someone. It represents togetherness
   and family. I believe the woman on the left represents a
   different being, maybe the mom dead from childbirth, which
   everyone is mourning. This I believe shows the high risk of
   being a mother/wife and even a woman in the ancient times. It
   was made for a funeral, and it’s unclear whether the
   deceased one is the old man or the young woman.

    This is the well-known grave monument of a woman named
    Ampharete, which was found in the Kerameikos cemetery
    at Athens; and it also shows a seated woman holding a
    baby. This is a stele, meaning both the woman and her
    baby died, probably in childbirth. Once again, this shows
    the common threat of natural childbirth. This statue
    represents love and women.

  The woman represented by this statue is a female wearing
  a tunic and cloak. This represents an independent woman,
  and she’s draped royally to show her grace and poise.
  Men were the only ones allowed to vote and run the
  governmental and social aspects of ancient Greece, and
  women were left home to do housework and basic chores;
  and to take care of the children. They weren’t educated or
  given the ability to be in the army.
