Find Rome on Map 6 (page 84). This is one of the oldest cities in
Europe, and developed around the same time as the cities in the
Ganga valley. Rome was the capital of one of the largest empires
one that spread across
Europe, North Africa, and
West Asia. Augustus, one of
the
most
important
emperors, who ruled about
2000 years ago, said that he
found Rome a city of brick,
and made it into a city of
marble. He, and later rulers,
built temples and palaces.
They also built huge
amphitheatres open
arenas surrounded by tiers
of seats where citizens
could watch all kinds of
shows, and public baths
(with separate timings for
An aqueduct
men and women), where
people met and relaxed.
Huge aqueducts channels to supply water were built to bring
water to the city for the baths, fountains and toilets.
Why do you think the amphitheatres and aqueducts have
survived?
