  10. Roman Social Classes • The poor lived differently • They had run down houses, sometimes tall apartments with no running water, kitchens, or toilets. (trash was thrown out into the street) • Poor needed wheat to make bread…if the harvests were late and people went hungry, the poor rioted • To prevent this, the Emperors gave free grain!

  11. Roman Social Classes • The Emperors also provided great entertainment in circuses. • These included animal fights, human fights, clowns, public executions, and gladiators!

  12. Gladiators! • “Hail Emperor! Those who are about to die salute you!” • Men and sometimes women would fight to the death…unless you fought really well…then you may have been spared

  13. The Roman Family • Government support • Parents of three or more children received land from the government. • Mothers of three children or free slaves who had four children were given special privileges • Unmarried men, and couples with no children were fined

  14. The Roman Household • Under roman law… the father had control over the family • He owned everything- furniture, house, family members…he could sell his daughter into slavery! • Women’s rights depended on her husband • Wealthy women had a lot of freedom! • Women had a great amount of influence on their family

  15. The Roman Slaves • Slavery was common • Slaves watched over the family and were sometimes paid • Some slaves were gladiators • Others saved tips and wages to buy freedom, some even became rich and wealthy after freedom!
