Apparently the crowd very rarely wanted to see the gladiators killed which was a surprise to me. Kind of like how MMA fans don't usually want to see anyone actually really badly injured. Even if they were slaves they were still the biggest sports stars of the day and people preferred to see fun fights rather than just brute savagery

A pretty cruel fact about living in the Roman Empire was how hyped the population was once a cruel emperor died, hoping that the next one would be much better, when usually it was the complete opposite. For example, when Tiberius, a sexually depraved tyrant who massacred most of the senators for years, finally died, everyone expected with joy how the new and young emperor would bring prosperity and peace to the Empire. That new emperor's name was Caligula

Im not an expert but in regards to the punishments you mentioned, from what i’ve heard and read, a roman citizen couldn’t be crucified. That was only for slaves and non romans.

Do you know who else couldn't survive the Roman Empire? The Romans.

Most gladiators were actually more like sports players, it’s basically like playing as a sport player but more easily open for whatever

My school is actually having a unit currently in Ancient Rome so this really helps :)

Basically living in Roman is like living in game of thrones but it’s 10x brutal.

One thing about the Roman Empire is how advanced they were with their knowledge of hygiene and stuff like of course I know I’m supposed to wash my hands and stuff before I leave out the bathroom but weirdly enough most of my ancestors didn’t know that washing their hands was good

[AuRoaraAnimations]

the next person that says public washrooms are disgusting
just show them this

Living in Sparta was even worse you were literally thrown from the cliff if you were demed as “weak” or sick and they would force you to basically Train and join the army at age 7

And to think, the Romans had better toilets than most of Britain had until the 20th century...
