Ancient Rome began as a Republic (509–27 BC), a system of elected magistrates (consuls, praetors) checked by the Senate—an elite council of 300–600 wealthy patricians who advised on war, law, and policy. Power was balanced to avoid kingship: citizens voted in assemblies, but real influence lay with senators and wealthy families. The household (familia): the paterfamilias (the father) held total legal power over wife, children, and slaves. Slavery was everywhere—millions worked farms (latifundia), mines, workshops, and homes as cooks, cleaners. Slaves working in mineš were mostly sent there as severe punisment. Most slaves worked as labourers, shoppers or house slaves. House slaves were Cooking, cleaning and running the household. Men could sleep with their slaves, males or females but woman couldnt. Only while having sex with their husband they could have lesbian sex with female slave to Pleasure the husband. Woman, if her husband had slaves, was called Domina by her slaves only and mostly lead the household slaves, for example when a social event was hold at her house she told the slaves what to do. Men were refered to as Dominus by the slaves only slaves. Free romans never called each other Dominus/domina and slaves never called other people expect their owners Dominus Or Domina. What the dominus said held more importance then what the domina said. Some educated slaves even tutored elite children, were family accountants, run errands for family or were even seen as friends by their Dominus/domina. Each Dominus/domina had their body slave (personal slave) that was always by their side. Slaves were mostly prisoners from the war. From example from Gaul, Thrace, Celt etc. Sometimes Roman citizen of lower status were in dept they sold themselves to slavery to pay it off. Each slave was branded by their Master so it was known which household they belonged to. Run away slaves were called fugitivus and mostly killed in arena after captured, but their owner could take them back and punish them if they wanted to. Lanista was owner of ludus. Ludus was a school for gladiators. Gladiators were slaves bought to be trained and and after they pass the exam while fighting a skilled gladiator they are then sent to fight in arena when games were held. Patrons gave money to different Lanista to let their gladiators fight. The higest families were and lanistas of big positions were in the VIP zone with armchairs and the best view. The closer in the row they were the more important they were. Mostly the whole family was there, man, wife and kinds and his and wifes body slave. In the Roman Republic (509–27 BC), senators were elite, mostly patrician (later including wealthy plebeians) lifelong members—around 300, later up to 600. The Senate was the most powerful body, advising magistrates like consuls, controlling foreign policy, finance, provincial assignments, and war declarations (though assemblies formally voted). It influenced legislation through prestige, not direct law-making. The Roman army was professionalized under the Empire, with legions (about 5,000–6,000 men) as core units, plus auxiliaries. Discipline, engineering, and tactics made it dominant. Key ranks in a legion (Imperial era): Legatus legionis (Legion Legate): Overall commander, usually a senator appointed by the emperor for 3–4 years. Handled strategy, politics, and full legion command. Tribunus laticlavius (Broad-stripe Tribune): Second-in-command, a young senator (often future leaders) wearing a broad purple stripe. Assisted the legate, sometimes commanded in absence. Praefectus castrorum (Camp Prefect): Third-ranked, an experienced ex-centurion handling logistics, camp discipline, and administration—crucial for daily operations. Centurions: Backbone of the army—tough, promoted professionals commanding a century (80–100 men). Each legion had ~59–60 centurions. The most senior was the Primus Pilus ("first file"), leading the elite first century of the first cohort; respected, highly paid, and influential (often third-in-command effectively). Other notables: Lower centurions ranked by cohort (first cohort centurions were primi ordines, elite). Tribuni angusticlavii (narrow-stripe tribunes, equestrian class) handled staff duties. Below: Optio (centurion's deputy), signifer (standard-bearer), aquilifer (eagle-bearer, sacred legion symbol), and legionaries (basic heavy infantry). The emperor held supreme rights: absolute military command (imperium maius), legislative power (edicts had force of law), veto over Senate and magistrates, control of treasury and provinces, appointment of officials, and religious authority (often as chief priest). Obligations included: maintaining peace and security, providing grain and games for the people (bread and circuses), upholding justice, protecting the state religion, rewarding loyal army and elites, and preventing rebellion through generosity, propaganda, and force. Plebeians, the common working citizens of ancient Rome (about 95% of the population), included farmers, craftsmen, bakers, builders, shopkeepers, and laborers. They rose at dawn and worked long hours—often from sunrise to sunset—with no fixed workday. Urban plebeians lived in crowded, multi-story apartment blocks (insulae), often above shops, with poor ventilation, shared latrines, and fire risks. Many relied on the grain dole for basic food like bread, porridge, olives, cheese, and occasional meat at festivals. Mornings might involve client duties or manual labor; afternoons brought market visits, forum errands, or public baths for socializing and hygiene. Evenings featured simple family meals, then rest. Poor families struggled constantly, with little leisure; wealthier plebeians enjoyed lives closer to elites. Entertainment included games, races, or theater when affordable. Life was hard, tax-burdened, and tied to patronage, but plebeians formed Rome's backbone through work, army service, and sheer numbers. Patricians, the elite noble families, enjoyed luxurious, privileged lives focused on politics, leisure, and status. They lived in spacious single-family homes (domus) with atriums, gardens, private baths, mosaics, statues, and slave-run kitchens—often including offices, dining rooms, and shrines. The day began with the salutatio: clients visited the paterfamilias for advice, favors, or patronage in exchange for loyalty. Mornings involved political meetings, Senate duties (if senators), or business oversight. Afternoons might include exercise in gymnasiums, reading, philosophy, or visiting friends. Slaves handled all chores—cooking, cleaning, child-rearing—freeing patricians for leisure. Evenings centered on elaborate cena dinners, reclining on couches with exotic foods, fine wines, entertainment (music, poetry, dancers), and guests. Family life emphasized duty, education, and alliances through marriage. Patricians displayed wealth via clothing, art, and spectacles, balancing social obligations with cultural pursuits in a world of extravagance and influence. Most daily life followed hierarchical norms: freeborn men could dominate slaves or prostitutes without much stigma, but restraint was ideal for citizens. Plebeian street life in a bustling Roman city often looked like this—crowded alleys, street vendors, families in simple tunics, and multi-story insulae towering overhead. Patrician homes (domus) featured elegant atriums, colorful frescoes, columns, and open courtyards—spaces for family, clients, and display of wealth. Public baths were social hubs for all classes—relaxing, exercising, gossiping, and cleaning in grand, steamy complexes. Evening cena dinners involved reclining on couches (for elites especially), sharing food and conversation in a semi-formal, social setting.
