How did the Romans Trade?
The Colosseum could seat 45,000 spectators. Some
people were not lucky enough to have a seat in the
Colosseum. If you didn't mind standing, the
Colosseum could hold up to 80,000 spectators
The Colosseum is where the ancient
Romans gathered to watch bloody
combat between gladiators, and battles
between men and wild animals. This is
where they threw people to the lions! To
see men being killed was very
entertaining to the ancient Romans. On
occasion, they flooded the Colosseum
with water, to hold naval battles. During
the battles, many competitors died.
The ancient Romans were great builders. They built things
to last. The Colosseum was built of concrete, faced with
stone, as were most amphitheatres. It was built in the
early days of the Roman Empire, around 70 BC. It was
designed to host huge spectacles. Anyone could attend
the events in the Colosseum. (to get in was free).

as the Flavian amphitheatre.
The colosseum is the largest

Ancient roman sports
Some of the sports they played then are the same we play today. Such as, athletics and
boxing. But the other sports they played were very different like chariot racing and
gladiator. The romans use to have an Olympics as well. All the best romans would come
together and compete with sports like javelin, discus, running and boxing. The roman girls
were never aloud in the colosseum because sometimes the romans would have to do
sports naked, and they would not allow that for them.

THE COLOSSEUM OR COLISEUM IS ALSO KNOWN TO SOME PEOPLE AS FLAVIAN AMPHITHEATRE.
THE COLOSSEUM IS MADE OUT OF BRICKS AND CONCRETE.
IT WAS ALSO THE LARGEST AMPHITHEATRE IN ROMAN EMPIRE.
ONE THING I STILL WANT TO KNOW IS WHO INVENTED THE COLOSSEUM.
The gladiators were
vicious people they
would kill people with
no mercy even when
they had no weapon.
The gladiators would
fight together even
when they told them
till the last man
standing. Some of the
weapons they would
use was a dagger,
shield, sword and a
trident. People would
watch them fight in a
place called a
colosseum agents
other gladiators and
animals like lions.
The ancient roman gladiators fought to the death in the colosseum
for peoples entertainment.
They wore no protective armour except for the helmet. They had
no shield only a sword, mace or an axe.
Random men sometimes volunteered for a match some would win
most would lose.
Ancient Rome has lots of foods from all over from emmer a type of cereal close to wheat
to a more simple wine.
Romans had more simple meals before discovering wine and other more complex foods.
The romans invented the saying
You are what you eat.
Bread is the single most eaten food in ancient roman.
The rich ate meals like fish, oysters, pork and rich wines of the highest standards.
At roman homes the wife would often make a rich honey with pastry's and cakes.
The roman soldiers would
conquer by shielding their selves
to form something called the
tortoise. The tortoise protect
them from arrows and rocks that
is thrown from above. They are
mostly used to get closer to the
enemy fort.
The roman soldiers had streaked rules
you had to have good eyesight in a
battle, you had to have good hearing ,
had to be strong because you'll be
carrying heavy things and last of all you
need to be fit.
Roman soldier had to eat a lot of bread, meat,
wine and olive oil. Sometimes they were given
permission to hunt animals like bird or deer or
catch fish or shellfish.
The Ballista.
The ancient missile weapon which acts like
a sling shot and shoots giant arrows long
distance.
I was made out of oak wood
which made it arrow proof
so it was strong.
The Bolts or arrows were
made from either rock or an
iron substance.
It was invented and used by the
romans in war and battle.
THE ROMAN AQUEDUCTS
Aqueducts were designed for France to transport water from the source
to the cities so people had fresh water instead of walking to the source
and back, and it was a long way up.
Aqueducts were first started to be built in 312 BC, so they could have
fresh water in Rome and France, the aqueduct drops 1metre every 280
metres in length so the water can flow otherwise if the aqueducts were
completely level, no water would flow down to the cities.
Roman aqueducts used gravity to tansport water to the city because
there is a down force that forces the water down the aqueduct toward
the city to supply water.
DID YOU KNOW?
The French aqueduct “pont du gard” took 35 years to construct “WOW”.
