Housing

These days we have housing like the Romans. We have apartments and they did. We also have housing. We have plumbing in the houses and apartments like they did. We also have running water like they did. Houses had small window panes and we have windows know. They decorated their floors. We do too but with other things like carpets and tiles or hardwood floor.

 

Education

We have education like they did. We all go to school. Only thing different is when you turned twelve poor boys worked on farms then rich boys went to school to learn grammar and writting etc.. These days you go to school for about 13 years unless you fail then it'll be more. We also have grades which they probably never had. It doesn't matter if your poor or rich either way you go to school. Also all the subjects are in the same school. Rich girls at age 12 got lessons at home. Poor girls either work in or own small shops. Wealthy women have slaves to do their work so they can study the arts, literature and fashion.

 

Goverment

We still have the same goverment as the Romans. We vote for our Prime Minister. Like they go to vote for their goverment. We also have different people assigned to take care of different things like in the Roman Empire. We have judges and Ancient Rome did too. Our laws a written down and same with theirs. Except we have many more laws then they do.

 

Names

The name Nike is used for clothing and shoes. Hercules is a type of plane. Venus,Mars, Uranus and Saturn are planets. Mercurius is really close to the planet named Mercury. Neptunus is close to our planet called Neptune. Apollo is a spaceship. Augustus is where our month August came from. Julius is where our month July came from. Cupid was a god the represent Erotic attraction. That's where we get cupids from on Valentines day. Also cupids supposedly "set people up".
