Thesis

HOW DID ANCIENT ROMAN SPORTS INFLUENCE SPORTS IN TODAY'S SPORTING WORLD?

Answer To Thesis

Sporting events caused the Ancient Romans to build some of the most important buildings that you can still see today. They built the Colosseuem and it was finished in 80 A.D. It's first name was the Flavian Amphitheatre. This giant stadium could seat 45,000 people! This giant stadium made ideas for some of the stadiums that have been built today like football, baseball, and basketball stadiums. Circus Maximus was also a huge stadium. Circus Maximus was a public entertainment center that was used for mostly for chariot racing.  Chariot racing was the most important event at Circus Maximus.  Circus could seat more than an estimated of 250,000 spectators.

They were ranked on the social rank of the father. They would always be in the month of May or February. The bride was dressed ina long white robe with a veil and bright yellow shoes. The groom would hold a feast and then the wife would perform a certain religious rite.

Roman Clothing

Men wore two garments, a tunica and a toga. The tunica was a short sleeve, woolen undergarment. The toga was a puplic display garment and can be worn inside the comfort of their homes. Togas were made from white wool or expensive linen.  Also a belt would be worn around the tunica to keep the garment snug. Only actual citizens were aloud to wear it. Women wore a tunica ,too. It was formed into a sleeveless dress. Belts were tied over or under folds. A more common tunic was a little like a greek chiton. It was sleeved and made from two peices of cloth. They also came in different colors depending on their social status and wealth.

Roman Coins

Gold, silver, and broze coins were the currency that the ancient romans used.  A silver coin, denarius, was worth 16 bronze coins. Gold was called aureus and worth 25 silver coins.
