About 2.000 years ago the Roman Empire extended throughout most of Europe and the coasts of the Mediterranean.

Rome, the capital of the Empire, was a city inhabited by a million people. In Rome there were theatres, temples, aqueducts and many other important buildings.

Roman society was nearly as complex as society today. There were politicians, military, priests, artisans and slaves, etc. Some people had power and privileges, others had no rights or freedom.

In this sequence, you will learn about some important aspects of Roman society and its legacy today.

Let’s start!
