	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; When Mount Vesuvius erupted, Pompeii wasn’t the only city affected. Herculaneum, a smaller city supposedly founded by Hercules in close proximity to Pompeii, was also destroyed by the flow of the lava from the volcano.

	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gladiators have entertained audiences for years in the&nbsp;Roman Republic&nbsp;and&nbsp;Roman Empire&nbsp;through violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals. Some gladiators are volunteers who risk their legal and social standing and their lives by appearing in the arena. Most are despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, treated as if they are insignificant, and isolated even in...]]></description>

	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our&nbsp; use of the&nbsp;arch&nbsp;and improvements in the use of&nbsp;concrete&nbsp;and bricks make easier for the building of the many&nbsp;aqueducts&nbsp;throughout our&nbsp;empire, such as the magnificent&nbsp;Aqueduct of Segovia&nbsp;and the eleven aqueducts in Rome itself, such as&nbsp;Aqua Claudia&nbsp;and&nbsp;Anio Novus.

	&nbsp;

	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Romans are able to perform particularly complicated operations that could have ended badly if done wrong. For example, doctors were able to remove relatively small tumors with almost no ill affects. In order to aide the Roman army, doctors were used to form hospitals to help soldiers with all manners of wounds and sicknesses. The majority of the hospital implements are made out of bronze due to it’s cheapness to produce. For more...]]></description>

	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Throughout many villages, public buildings, and homes, it is extremely common to see very ornate mosaics depicting many different things. They are made out of stone, glass, and/or pottery. The mosaics of rich Romans likely depicted scenes of hunting or fruit bowls. Amazingly, a majority of the Roman mosaics are made on sight, though there are some that are pre-made at a workshop and then put into place afterwards. The small pieces of...]]></description>

	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On the morning of the dreadful eruption of Mt. Vesuvius at Pompeii, the Roman people lost more than just a growing city, they lost the influential people that made it up, particularly the independent political women.
