On Monday we went and saw the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. We started the day with walking through the Roman Forum. It was really crazy to think about how old all the ruins are. The size of the building are absolutely ridiculous. The fact they could create buildings that size without modern tools or equipment is mind blowing.<\/p>\n
After walking through the Roman Forum we toured the Colosseum which is immaculate. The Colosseum is huge stadium that was used as basic structure for most of stadiums in the world today.<\/p>\n
We learned about the towers of Jupiter and Venus showing how the Romans worshipped their gods and practiced their religion. They were very religious, making temples to honor every one of their gods. They would make sacrifices of goats and other foods to the gods.
\nAt the Colosseum we learned about international relations with how the Romans would use slaves and people captured in war as people to slaughter for entertainment. This showed how the Romans had no concern for the other societies and they would slaughter them with no concern or remorse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
