And it s 7 elements

The Most important culture

Rome was the heart of one of

the most important old

civilizations which influenced

society, culture, language,

literature, art, architecture,

philosophy, religion, law and

the dress of next centuries.

This is the capital of the

province of Rome in the Lazio

region and Italy. It is an Italian

city of 2,700,000 people.

Language Rome has a lot of languages, by this reason this is

considerate a multilingual society. These are some

languages that the people use at the present time:

Italian

Spanish

Catalan

French

English

Latin.

The city that is more visited by many people around de world is The

Vatican.

It s very important to the catholic society because there started the

beliefs.

Jupiter Apolo

Venus Diana

The worship of a religion other than the Roman Empire

was prohibited and sentenced. For this reason, Christians

were persecuted and killed in various provinces of the

Roman Empire, is that Christians held their worship, in

caves or Roman catacombs.

Actual Rome

Roman art includes architecture, painting, sculpture and

mosaic work. Luxury objects in metal-work, gem engraving,

ivory carvings, and glass are sometimes considered in

modern terms to be minor forms of roman art.

One of the most important is

the Coliseum this is a

monumental construction

located in the city of Rome in

Italy. The Coliseum is clearly

the image of the city of

Rome, Representing in

addition, the greatness of

the Roman empire and their

art.

Formal Latin literature began in 240 BC, when a Roman audience

saw a Latin version of a Greek play.

The first Latin poet to write on a Roman theme was Gnaeus

Naevius during the 200 BC. He composed an epic poem about the

first Punic War, in which he had fought.

Sculpture was perhaps considered as the highest form of art by

Romans, but figure painting was also very highly regarded. The two

forms have had very contrasting rates of survival, with a very large

body of sculpture surviving from about the 1st century BC.

From the time of Julius Caesar, 48BC, Rome and the Roman

Empire was ruled by an Emperor. The Emperor was wise if he

listened to the advice of the Senate but some chose to be dictators and do what they wanted rather than follow the Senate's advice.

At the present time Mr. Giorgio Napolitano is the

President of Italy and Mr. Mario Monti is the First

Minister of Rome.

Rome, also hosts major international and worldwide political and

cultural organizations. Rome grew momentously after the war, as

one of the driving forces behind the “Italian economic miracle" of

post-war reconstruction and modernization.

Although the economy of Rome is characterized by the absence of

heavy industry and it is largely dominated by services, high-

technology companies ( Aerospace, defense, telecommunications).

Roman coins were an important means of

propaganda, and have survived in enormous

numbers.

In Rome, December 31 is celebrated the new year, naturally with

lentils and sausage. Lentils are considered by Roman symbol of

money, wealth and prosperity for the new year. Therefore the more

you eat more money will win the following year. Another tradition

well known for us is eating grapes.

The major contributions made by Rome to culture have been law

and Latin, origin of many modern languages, and many words in

non-Romance languages. During the Republic, and after the

conquest of Greece, the Roman culture undergoes a profound

transformation, characterized by the introduction of the Hellenistic

civilization.

People were divided into different classes. There

were Patricians, Plebeians and Slaves.

Patricians: were wealthy citizens of Rome.

Plebeians: were not wealthy but they were citizens

of Rome.

Commoners: were the people who did not enjoy

all the rights and privileges.

Slaves: had no money, no rights, no freedom and

were not citizens of Rome.
