Daily Life in Ancient Rome

[@jamesellsworth9673]

This promises to be a fine series. I look forward to following along!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Awesome thanks

[@jaelge]

Amazing. I've always been as interested and fascinated with the daily lives of the average citizens as I was the elite, upper classes and the movers and shakers like Gaius Julius Caesar, who happens to be my favorite above all. Looking forward to seeing your future content, and thank you for your work in providing it.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dirksawyer5667]

These are a great collection of videos. Enjoyable and educational. Thank you 👍

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you!

[@mandelbraught2728]

Really interesting stuff. I've recently found your channel and have been greatly enjoying it! I really like how you're presenting it like ancient Rome is "live". It's been a growing realization for me just how much of history can get skewed by the things that last (i.e. from those who could afford to make them) and I'm fascinated to get a better picture of daily living, so this series is perfect! Thanks for your excellent work in presenting beautiful Rome to us!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Xavitu86]

Enjoyed the video, I believe this series will be a hit, the lives of common folk in Roman times a quite forgotten subject, so Tx for giving us a glimpse of everyday Rome.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Excellent thanksn

Another book people may like is Invisible Romans by Robert C Knapp, again inexpensive paperback, which looks at ordinary Romans across the empire.

[@souzachris]

The best channel and videos, beautiful images always, everything i want to see and wayyy more with clarity and fun.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you very much!

[@KonradAdenauerJr]

Wonderful to see such representations of Roman daily life. The Romans represented ordinary people as they really were, instead of idealizing them.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you

[@sauronmorgoth5417]

Whew…look at the tablets…so, so cool

[@belsnickles]

Enjoyed this so much. Thank you.

Another thought provoking video, Darius.👍. Was industrial work such as iron making done within the cities or were there specific areas dedicated to heavy industry? Since the Roman army used large amounts of iron, I can imagine this changed over time from Republican times to the Empire.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you - iron works outside the city center

[@Joanna-il2ur]

In some places noxious trades, such as butchery, tanning and fulling (cleaning raw wool with urine) were conducted down wind and down river from people’s noses. It might be simpler to ship iron ore to where the charcoal was in order to smelt it. But at Pompeii there was a fullers’ guild, so dirty trade wasn’t necessarily infra dig.

[@nancytestani1470]

Sooooo cool..

[@emilywilson7308]

So cool!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you

[@nancytestani1470]

So fantastic.

[@mikki3961]

Grazie, so very interesting!

[@Joanna-il2ur]

You might be interested in a book The Dignity of Labour by Iain Harris, which details the huge variety of jobs done by Romans. Fascinating.

[@philiphanes7437]

so cool. thank you!

[@AncientRomeLive]

Many thanks!

[@MarkSk-vt4hv]

Great video

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thanks for the visit

[@DonariaRegia]

How about an episode called "Dexamenos, Democrates and Decebalus: From fine arts to advanced scientific theory and vast fortunes of the ancient world." or something like that. Everything from the Pylos combat agate to Egyptian scarabiod intaglios that carried over to the Greeks, then fourth century BCE atomic hypothesis and first century CE writing of harmful microorganisms in the air. And of course the incredible loot and buried hoards throughout the centuries. You do an excellent job of packing a lot of info into one vid but this may be asking a bit much.

[@marthaarya167]

Interesting

[@sandrajenkins6822]

Really interesting, lots of things I've never seen. You've managed to keep yourself out of this and just stick to the artifacts but your agonising intonation is the same.

[@juangimenez9855]

Muy interesante y ameno. Gracias

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you

What was it like for children in Rome?

[@yahwea]

As to the laundry, Fuller's Earth is used to remove oil, and is still the treatment for removing oil spills on suede and car upholstery.

[@F4R4D4Y]

Why did the Romans have such a steep birthrate decline that by the time they met Attila in battle at Troyes, the majority of their troops were germanic?

[@cabjdavid]

probably multiple factors, food/wheat shortage, plague, etc.

[@bikerz3857]

I have learned so much from your videos about ancient Rome. What language was most spoken in Rome 2000 years ago??

[@Joanna-il2ur]

Latin. The eastern empire mostly spoke Greek, but others such as Punic and Syriac survived and were written down. Egyptian survived as has its own script, today known as Coptic. Gaulish was originally written in Greek letters, then in Etruscan script, and finally in Latin characters, but slowly faded away.

[@AncientRomeLive]

Appreciate it. Latin
