List z trzydniowej wycieczki do starożytnego Rzymu

Rome, 25.09.100 year

Dear Asia!

To begin with I want to extend warm greetings to you and to send my letter force of kisses. Very much I would want you to be here with me and she admired the beauty of many wonderful places I had the pleasure to see which. I will try for you to describe them.
I decided to tour the first day the biggest amphitheatre of ancient Rome - the Coliseum. It was built in year 80. Przy for structure mainly Jewish prisoners which quite a lot it inhabited were being employed Rome in those days. The gigantic building carried the name of the Amphitheatre of Flawiusz, however on account of the fact that she was located in the vicinity of Colossus of Neron, popularly she was called the Coliseum. According to the certificate of Kasjusza Dion, during one hundred days, devoted to celebrating the building 900 animals were killed. The Coliseum was an oval building for heights of almost 50 metres, having the 45 thousand seating. He had four storeys, 80 entries allowing for fast emptying the audience were in outside walls. Beneath the circus a system of underground corridors in which animals were put, slaves and dressing rooms were built. In order to describe a sea battle, the scene was being filled with water. Gladiators, trained militarily and not-having people nothing for the execution, struggled up to it to amuse the audience. To Rome different animals which were supposed to fight in the arena among others were being imported lions, tigers, itp. I was supposed to watch the chance one of famous gladiatorial combats. It was a fascinating experience. This way he passed for me all day long. Of next day with one's charm and the charm water heaters, i.e. Roman baths encouraged me. Water heaters were a place of the everyday relaxation of, both rich and poor Romen. It is possible to determine them as extended,, centre sportingly - relaxly''. Steam rooms were located in rooms spacious, backed up with columns and water, pools with warm, lukewarm and of colds. ą with water, swimming swimming pools, bathtubs and showers. Beside gymnasia, in which weights were being raised were located, supplies and a fencing were being gone in for. Water heaters were a meeting place of social and philosophical debates all at the same time. Willing could spend time at the library or devour the meal the counter. The admission to some water heaters was free, in other a very little payment was being taken. I had an opportunity to take advantage of the refreshing bath, as well as to relax in the room of massage and in this way nicely I finished the day.Into the closing date of my stay I wanted to see and to compare the living conditions of inhabitants of Rome, both of the ones wealthy, as well as of the ones poorest and of slaves. Wealthy Romen lived in spacious houses. In each of them he was an important person,, father of family'' - the husband and the father, exercising the perpetual power over all household members. He disposed of the entire wealth of the family, because everything belonged to him. He also decided, whether the child given birth at home would be brought up, whether one should leave them (this way happened often with girls). An exemplary wife and a mother were an ideal of the Roman woman. Whereas the municipal poor lived in poor cottages or in rented rooms in tenement houses. Such high tenements were built quickly, carelessly and they have often undergone covering up or they were falling down with prey of the fire. Floors of the house stuck out beyond the ground floor in the direction of the street. Nothing so strange poorer city dwellers avoided travelling in own, shoddily made houses and all day long spent in the city, offering them various entertainment. Slaves found their way to the Empire firebrands of wars in the result run by Romen zdobywczych. Thousands of caught people were being sold on bargaining of different cities to the Empire. For them more a prisoner of war could, all the more he was worth. The slave entirely depended on you, the ones whereas had the right to treat him as a plaything. On shave off for the slave could not own nothing. The majority of slaves worked in an large arable farms. She was it is a hard work, therefore the better fate fell to the ones which found their way to cities. They served there as stablemen, cleaning ladies, cooks, messengers, secretaries or class tutors of children. This way he ended third and closing date of my trip.
Unfortunately I must already finish, but soon we will see ourselves. I wish you wonderful holidays I survived which for these three days the same.
