READ THIS!!! (btw...its a virtual fieldtrip*sorta* of ancient rome)

During Julius Caesar's rein of the Roman Empire he built the Caesar's Forum. It was a busy street with lots of shops and businessmen jingling their money to get people's attention. The Early Romans ate few meats such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigeons, and peacocks. Peacocks was the MOST expensive meat...it cost $10!!! (OMG!!! THAT'S ALOT)...Their religion was consisted mostly of believing in the gods, like in Greece, then later Christianity. There were many persecutions in the early stages of Christianity but not after Constantine banned the law that forbade worshipping the one and almighty god. Later on, Justinian built many new buildings. Some of them were the Hagia Sophia and the Hippodrome. But there were many other exquisite buildings made in the earlier times of the Roman Empire, such as

Circus Maximas,

the Colloseum,

the Pantheon,

and much more.
