buildings & baths

Empire; 1 million living in Rome.
(As a reference, the city of Athens 

was at 100,000 at its peak, Carthage at its peak
was 700,000)
(The Persian Empire at its peak was at 50 million)

CALIGULA
Caligula handout
reading coming
soon
Caligula
Emperor from 37-41AD
Popular at first (freed political prisoners
from the previous emperor, staged lavish
events)
He considered himself as a living god
Made parents watch the executions of their
children
Made his horse a senator and declared war on
Poseidon
By 41AD, people were sick of Caligula’s rule
and ambushed him. He was stabbed 30 times.
Roman
gods
were
derived
from
Greek
gods.
Gods	and	Goddesses	
Worship of emperor became part of
official religion of Rome.
Although Roman mythology was similar to
Greek, they were different in key ways:
1. Roman mythology doesn’t have as
many imaginative stories of Gods
interacting with humans and causing
mayhem on earth.
2.Roman gods had less personality. They
represented abstract ideas.
HERCULES
- Hercules was a demigod, and a symbol of
Romans adopting Greek myths.
-Emperor Commodus liked to depict himself as
Hercules. He liked Hercules so much that he
renamed the month of September and October as
Menis Hercules.
Emperor
Commodus
dressed as
Hercules
The Roman World
Slaves and Captivity
Slavery is a significant part of Roman life in
both cities and farms.
Some slaves become gladiators; forced to
fight to death.
Gladiators

-A person engaged in a fight to the death as
public entertainment for ancient Romans
(Merriam Webster Dictionary)
-Some gladiators were there by free will and
some were forced into becoming one.
Why hold
these events?
Society and Culture
• Rich live well; most people are poor,
receive grain from government.
• 150 holidays and Colosseum events
created to entertain & control the masses.
