La tradición afirma que el poder de Roma se sustentaba principalmente en sus legiones, que sus ciudadanos temían al mar y que estos solo abandonaban su tierra cuando no quedaba alternativa. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Roma fue también un gran imperio marítimo, y lo demostró imponiéndose a todos sus enemigos hasta dominar los mares y cursos fluviales.

Movies and shows might depict Romans wearing togas and sandals everywhere they went, but that was actually not the case. In fact, togas were considered formal wear and a status symbol, as those in the higher social classes typically wore them.

Zwei verfeindete Familien. Ein Geheimnis. Eine verbotene Liebe. Zwei Familien, zwei Weinberge und ein jahrzehntelanger Hass.

Da Caius Villani und Rome Santucci die Imperial Academy besuchen, heftet sich Rome an seine Fersen, um an Informationen zu gelangen.

Defined by borders both physical and conceptual, the Roman city stood apart as a concentration of life and activity that was legally, economically, and ritually divided from its rural surroundings. Death was a key area of control, and tombs were relegated outside city walls from the Republican period through Late Antiquity. Given this separation, an unexpected phenomenon marked the Augustan and early Imperial periods: Roman cities developed suburbs, built-up areas beyond their boundaries, where the living and the dead came together in densely urban environments.
