What are the Pros and Cons of Men, Children, and poor people in Ancient Rome.

Two Romans living at the same time in the same city could have very different lives.

Rich ...

For wealthy Romans, life was good. They lived in beautiful houses - often on the hills outside Rome, away from the noise and the smell. They enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle with luxurious furnishings, surrounded by servants and slaves to cater to their every desire. Many would hold exclusive dinner parties and serve their guests the exotic dishes of the day.

... and poor

Poorer Romans, however, could only dream of such a life. Sweating it out in the city, they lived in shabby, squalid houses that could collapse or burn at any moment.

They smelt bad bad but they were strong than humans today
