Best Answer

Rome was (and still is) in the Mediterranean. Therefore it has a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers and mild winters. A hot climate encourages an outdoors lifestyle, which was a characteristic of the Romans. Hot weather and mild winters were particularly useful for the poor. They lived on the higher floors of apartment blocks (insulae) four to six floors high. The higher floors were cheaper because they were less safe in case of fire. The poor lived in small and overcrowded rooms with no running water, heating, cooking facilities or toilets. They went there only to sleep. They ate outdoors, went to outdoors public toilets and washed at the public baths.

The warm weather also influenced the design of the houses of the rich (domus) whose living areas were arranged around an open inner courtyard (atrium).

What Romans legacies affect your lives today?

Roman legacies that affect our lives today are the right to own property, the right to make a will, the right of a trial and the right of appeal. They also left us with the legacy of clean water, central heating and indoor plumbing. Our cities and streets would look very different if the Romans had not given us concrete. There are many other things on the Roman list of inventions that have come down to us and affect our lives in one way or another.

Why did the Romans reject Christianity at first?

At first, it seems that the Roman authorities preferred to pay no attention to the Christian Church, as long as its members did not foment unrest by overt displays of 'atheism'. Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) says that the provincial governors declared themselves ready to listen to any accusation that might affect the public safety, but as soon as they were informed that it was a question not of facts but of words, a dispute relating only to the interpretation of the Jewish laws and prophecies, they deemed it unworthy of the majesty of Rome seriously to discuss the obscure differences that might arise among a barbarous and superstitious people.By the time of Emperor Diocletian, at the end of the third century, it seemed that the Christians had constituted a distinct republic to be suppressed before it had acquired any military force. It was already governed by its own laws and magistrates, was possessed of its own public treasury and was intimately connected to all its parts by the frequent assemblies of the bishops, to whose decrees their numerous and.opulent congregations yielded an implicit obedience. The authorities were becoming worried, but more for secular than religious reasons.Treason was becoming associated with some Christians. On the day of a public festival, Marcellus the centurion threw away his arms and the ensigns of his office, and exclaimed with a loud voice that he would obey none but Jesus Christ the eternal King, and that he renounced forever the use of carnal weapons and the service of an idolatrous master. The soldiers, as soon as they recovered from their astonishment, secured the person of Marcellus. By his own confession, he was condemned and beheaded for the crime of desertion.
