I hope this is helpful oh and tomas.f you might have to do a bit more on houses because i didnt to that much.
1.Mosaics:Roman mosaics were common feature of private homes and public buildings across the empire. A roman mosaic is important because it has large historical value,they are beautiful and some, they tell stories/myths.
2.Kitchen: A Roman kitchen had a built-in clay oven which had a kind of burner. These ovens were heated by a charcoal fire inside them. The kitchen also had wooden cupboards, in which dishes and food was kept. They had pot racks for the pans and pots.
Gardens: Roman gardens were influenced by Egyptian, Persian and Greek gardening techniques. Private Roman gardens were separated into three parts. First, Xystus, was the terrace that served as an open air drawing room which connected to the home through a covered portico. The Ambulatio consisted of variety of flowers, trees served as a relaxing area to walk through. The gardens was a place of peace where people could get away from the noisy public places.
Atrium: It is a large open space situated inside the house. It was used to provide light and ventilation to the interior. The Latin word atrium is referred to the open central court from which enclosed rooms led off. The impluvium was shallow pool sunken into the floor to catch the rainwater.
Dining Room: The Poorer Romans ate sitting at wooden table, on wooden stools. The slaves were only allowed to sit on the floor or on a straw mat. The rich Romans ate in a more formal way, lying down on couches around a table. These formal dining rooms were called triclinia, because there were usually only three couches in a room. (Triclinia - Tri-three and Clinia- down) The Roman woman were not allowed to attend these dinner parties with men.
Peristyle: Is a columned porch in a building surrounding a court that may contain an internal garden. The columns are made of stone / marble and they were used to hold the shady roofed porch. The inner wall usually contained beautiful wall paintings of landscapes.
The Roman Army, was a strong fighting machine. It conquered what we now call England/Wales, Spain, France, most of Germany, the northern coast of Africa, the Middle East and Greece. This was known as the Roman Empire. The Roman Army was successful because it had better equipment and was organized. The Army also took many riches back to Rome.
A solider belonged to a Legion which had about 5,000 or 6,000 men. Each Legion was divided into companies of 80 men called Centuries. Each group of century were led by a centurion. The Roman soldier was a professional soldier. This means that he joined the army for 25 years and would be paid a salary. Legionnaires were trained to fight in an organized way. A whole legion could be punished for failing to fight well in battle. Training was brutal and tough but it was important for the Romans success. As well as being good fighters, the legionaries were good engineers and craftsmen.
A legionnaire went into battle equipped with three main weapons.
A pilum, was a spear thrown by the legionnaires at the enemy as they ran at them from a distance. It was not for hand-to-hand fighting. It was to distract the enemy at the beginning of the battle before the organized legionnaires attacked. The gladius was the main weapon for the Roman soldier when he got into close fighting. This was a sword which was kept sharp. Anyone on the receiving end of a blow from a gladius would suffer bad injuries. The soldiers also used a small dagger in battle if all else failed.
The legionnaire carried a curved shield. This gave the Roman soldier a great deal of protection as it curved around his body. It was also used by the Romans when they used what was known as a tortoise formation to move forward to a target. A 'tortoise' was when the soldiers lifted the shield flat above their heads to protect themselves from any spears thrown at them from above.
The Roman Army was strong and very successful for a long time. The Army had a demanding training schedule and practice often. Soldiers had to be in shape and strong. Training was tough and there were punishments for failure. In a battle, new soldiers were placed in front of the more experienced soldiers in the army. There were three reasons for this. The first was to give them confidence because behind them were experienced soldiers who had fought in battles before. Secondly, it stopped the new soldiers from running away if they lost their courage. Lastly, those who were more likely to be killed in the beginning of a battle were at the front. The experienced legionnaires were at the rear because The Roman Army did not want to lose them.
Another group of soldiers were the Auxiliary soldiers came from tribes which the Romans had conquered. The job was to help the Legions. They were not fully trained soldiers and their usual task was not to fight when the legionnaires attacked, but to assist them by acting as scouts or archers who would fire at the enemy while the legionnaires attacked. Those auxiliaries who fought on foot would be used to attack an enemy position before the legionnaires did – in this way, an enemy position would be softened up before the main assault.
The Romans also developed an early form of large attack catapults. These hurled large stone boulders at a wall to smash it down. The Romans also used catapults to fire iron bolts at the lines of the enemy facing them. All of this required training and the most important group were the centurions. Each centurion was required to ensure that his century was a capable and effective fighting force. Any century that did not perform well in battle might pay the price and be 'decimated'. The unit would stand in line and every tenth man would be taken out and killed. This was known as 'decimus' by the Romans. This punishment served as a strong warning to other units and to those who had survived in the century being punished.
