Roman culture By: Daniel Yan and Alex Taing There once was great scientist who made a time machine and went to time of old Rome. The scientist went and saw that a lot of people thought that there was a awesome power in everyone. He learned that these people were following Stoicism. While the scientist was walking, he saw a stone tablet with 12 more tablets on them. When he asked the people in old Rome, they said that the tablets were Laws that everybody had to follow including the big bad rich people. The person the scientist asked then said that the big bad rich people could only have power over everyone. All of the good poor people had to pay the big bad rich people. So the good poor people got angry. The scientist then thought about the USA knowing that old Romes laws were like the USAs laws! The scientist then looked around Rome and found himself inside a temple. The scientist saw many familiar things. Like this > The scientist then realized that these Roman columns were exactly the same as the Greeks He then noticed their sculptures were more real than the Greeks' with wrinkles and warts. The scientist also noticed that the Romans used cement in their mini skyscrapers as the Greeks did not use cement. While at the temple, the scientist saw many paintings that looked a little bit like paintings in the US. The scientist immediately thought that the Romans had lots of good art. He then thought that the US was inspired by Roman artwork. The US had paintings, but they werent really paint, just ink. The scientist left the temple to look for more sculptures and structures. He saw arches, roads made of rocks, domes, many sidewalks, and many more! Again, the scientist thought about the USA because there, there were domes, sidewalks, and arches. The Greek literature and Roman literature were very different and alike, like how Greeks and Romans had plays. VS Wondering about the things that were the same in Greece, the scientist went to a Roman Theater. After watching a couple of plays, he said to himself These plays look the same as Greek plays, but they are more violent. The scientist then saw some actors making fun of other people, and other people thought it was funny! The scientist asked another person what they were doing. The other person said that they were using satire, a way of making people. The scientist decided to leave the theater and look around more and then saw a poem on a rock. The person who created it was named Horace and called It an Ode. The scientist read more poems and they were all similar! Horace must have created a new type of poem! The poems in Rome were very different from the US because the US had many, many more poems to right on and possibly including Roman Odes. The scientist decided to go back to his time and back to the US to write his experience in his journal of Science! The End!
