Features of Rome civilization

Sabrina- Government and Laws:

In the beginning, Rome was ruled by Kings. The Kings were elected by Rome's major tribes. We still don't know till this day whether the King's power was absolute or just a smaller power like chief executive. But what we do know is that the King was the head of state religion. Other than the King, there were three other parts of government which is the Senate, (the advisory body to the King), Cornitia Curiata, that endorsed and ratified laws that were suggested by the King, and lastly the Cornitia Calata, they assembled people to bear witness to some acts, hear proclamations, and announce the feast and holiday schedule for the following month. The Roman laws could only be passed by the popular assembly which in this case was Cornitia Tributa (the democratic assembly of Roman citizens). The three main divisions of law in Rome were Ius Civile, which were the common laws that were for Roman citizens; Ius Gentium, which were common laws that were for foreigners; and Ius Naturale, which were laws that were common to all being.

Sabrina- Art:

Many pieces of Roman art were paintings. Most of the Roman paintings were on walls and ceilings of country villas. Oher than paintings on walls and ceilings, some of the paintings were painted on wood and ivory. The first practice of Roman paintings started from second century BC to early first century BC. The first practice of paintings was mostly composed of marble and masonry. The second style of paintings began during the early first century BC and was mostly 3 dimensional realistic paintings. The third style of paintings went on during 27 BC to 14 AD. This style was mostly made with simple ornamentation. Last but not least, the fourth style of paintings began in the first century AD. This style of paintings was mostly scenes of mythology. (Wikipedia, 2010).  Sabrina-Roman painting (pictures.com,2010)

Sabrina- Social Classes:

One of the major roles in Romans lives was social class. The ancient Roman society was hierarchical. The free-born Roman citizens were seperated into multiple classes by ancestory and by property. There were also alot of classes with non-citizens with legal rights and slaves with no rights. Some of the non-citizen classes included women, foreigners, freedmen, and slaves. (Wikipedia, 2010).

Shayne- Writing and Record keeping

In Rome writing and record was taken for farmers to know how much food that they needed and to keep record of how fast the food was growing and much food was growing. The people in Rome took scrolls and wrote every thing about there crops on the scroll. the reason why farmers did this was because they needed to know how much food they needed in the winter for when crops were hard to grow.

Shayne- Job Specialization

Housing increases as needs are met by different resources and services. A city Rome represents 100 citizens. Jobs are filled by building a building, and waiting for a vagrant, or jobless immigrant to arrive for work. A special feature allows the player to adjust work time and leisure time, allowing the workers to go to their homes and improve their housing levels by attending meat shops, tunic shops, etc. Higher level citizens can buy slaves to attend to their houses and gather commodities to meet their housing needs. However, the level of housing also changes the citizen as it improves; a goat farmer would cease to be a goat farmer if his house improves into a mansion, and would seek a post as a doctor.
