Homes

Today you will learn about apartments and homes Come on now I well show you the apartments.It takes 1,500 people to build one apartment and it takes two months to make it look like an apartment. The only people that live in an apartment is the poor and some
rich people . They have night watchman who make sure that the buildings are locked. They are very concerned about the fires too because the apartment is propped up with planks of wood to keep it from falling down on the apartments .
Senator follow me and I will show you the homes . The rich live in a very different
condition from the poor people . The first roman room in the house is called an atrium. It looks like an open room and had a pond at the bottom of it. In the house the rich made the slaves do everything like make the floors. They are made out of mosaic. Mosaic is glass that is broke and it is put on the floor. Thanks senitor for looking at the roman apartments and roman homes by.

Hello how are you doing today did you have a nice trip? Today I will guide you through the boats and markets. Please follow me. First thing I would like to talk about the boats. The boats were made from wood. Each boat was 180ft long. The boat was powered by people with oars .They had 18 to 24 oars on each side of the boats.Romans carried different things on the boats. The boats carried things like olive oil,and other goods. They had a pot to put the oil in. They took beef, corn, glassware, lead, leather marble, perfumes, purple dye, silk, silver, spices, timber, tin, and wine from Arabs and Indus valley. Now you know about the roman boats. Now you can learn about the markets. The markets sell pig heads porridge; fruit, potatoes, and tomatoes. They hold the market in the forum under the apartments. Porridge is oatmeal. The markets were made of different things like stone and wood. People would set up stands that looked like tents and sell their goods under them. Now you know about the markets in our roman times.
