Roman culture

There once was great
scientist who made a time
machine and went to time of
old Rome.
There once was great
scientist who made a time
machine and went to time of
old Rome.
The scientist went and
saw that a lot of people
thought that there was a
awesome power in
everyone. He learned that
these people were
following Stoicism.
While the scientist was
walking, he saw a
stone tablet with 12
more tablets on them.
When he asked the
people in old Rome,
they said that the
tablets were Laws that
everybody had to
follow including the big
bad rich people.
The person the scientist
asked then said that the
big bad rich people could
only have power over
everyone. All of the good
poor people had to pay
the big bad rich people.
So the good poor people
got angry.
The scientist then
thought about the USA
knowing that old
Rome’s laws were like
the USA’s laws!
The scientist then
looked around Rome
and found himself
inside a temple. The
scientist saw many
familiar things. Like
this --------------->
The scientist then
realized that these
Roman columns
were exactly the
same as the Greek’s
He then noticed their
sculptures were more
real than the Greeks'
with wrinkles and
warts. The scientist also
noticed that the Romans
used cement in their
mini skyscrapers as the
Greeks did not use
cement.
While at the temple, the
scientist saw many paintings
that looked a little bit like
paintings in the US. The
scientist immediately thought
that the Romans had lots of
good art. He then thought
that the US was inspired by
Roman artwork. The US had
paintings, but they weren’t
really paint, just ink.
The scientist left the
temple to look for more
sculptures and
structures. He saw
arches, roads made of
rocks, domes, many
sidewalks, and many
more!
Again, the scientist
thought about the
USA because
there, there were
domes, sidewalks,
and arches.
The Greek literature
and Roman literature
were very different
and alike, like how
Greeks and Romans
had plays.
VS
Wondering about the
things that were the
same in Greece, the
scientist went to a
Roman Theater. After
watching a couple of
plays, he said to himself
“These plays look the
same as Greek plays, but
they are more violent.
The scientist then saw
some actors making fun
of other people, and other
people thought it was
funny! The scientist asked
another person what they
were doing. The other
person said that they
were using satire, a way
of making people.
The scientist decided to
leave the theater and look
around more and then saw
a poem on a rock. The
person who created it was
named Horace and called It
an Ode. The scientist read
more poems and they were
all similar! Horace must
have created a new type of
poem!
The poems in Rome
were very different from
the US because the US
had many, many more
poems to right on and
possibly including Roman
Odes.
The scientist decided
to go back to his time
and back to the US to
write his experience in
his journal of Science!
The End!
