In the ancient Rome the society glorified the soldier and military service, so the ancient roman heroes were amazing people who had military stretegists.
but who were in an important place were the gladiators, the word gladiator come of the latin word "Gladius" it means "sword".
the main gladiator was Cornelius Scipion "africanus" he was the first gladiator known in the history in 206 A.C other important gladiators were: Espartacus, Diocles and Marco Valerio. the gladiators were slaves or prisoners who were sentenced to be a fun for the people.
on the other hand we can find nine types of gladiators such as: Andabatae, Equites, Hoplomacus, mirmos, tracius and others.
something special in the life of gladiators is their lifestyle because they had a vegetarian diet, high in proteins, and the reason of this diet was for have more muscle mass and with that can win in the fights.
Furthermore they had a lot of fractures and wounds, obviously they were served by the best doctors, because without the gladiators the society haven't fun so the emperor had the need to care this man.

WORK AND ECONOMY IN ROME
Most Roman people had to work very hard to survive, at the bigining the activity more abundad was the agriculture but later peasants had to abandoned their lands. The rome`s econmy was based on slaver`s job, so this was proporcionality. we mean, if you had more slavers you coul obtain more producction, the mean consequence was that million people in whole empire lived in difficult conditions without to reach a better social an economic level. The most difficult situation was of the minings, so they had few opportunities to survive, this job was realized by slavers, and the domestic slaver`s job was easier, specially I fit was realted to children`s care and education of them.
In the cities the most important work was handmade, so you could find shops related to footwear, ceramics, fabric and some food, you could factiries where the main fuction was to keep some products to market or to give for army.
Generally, we can say Rome`s economy was based on explotation of materias primas such as grains oil or winw, in a silmilar way they obtain a good economy result about victories in the conquests like gold, grains, fabric. Acording to that we can say that romes`job was based on explotation and extraction of materias primas in the similar on exportation an importation about grains and fabrics.
Many people worked on te Tejano, it was a building, it was one of the bigger in Rome, which had many stores, it was visited for all people around the world. For that reason, we can say that Rome was a city dedicated to buying and selling of products and the diffuse of these products in all Empire.
We can notice that people worked in trade. Therefor they offered the products on streets, so they commerce converted in a center social, it is important to say that products like silk was more expensive, empires only could buy it.
Finally, each roman citizen received his/her money, I mean slavers and tradesmen only poor citizen received money given by state whit the purpose to protect children. The last textsays Rome adquired its economy with owns resources and others by conquests.

Families in Rome had a strong organization. The rol is specific and absolute in each member in the family. For example, the father had all the authority in the family due to he controlled the personal property of the children and his wife. In adition, the father could mistread, sell or even kill his children if they not obey him. Besides, the father could decide where a child would live or die.
On the other hand, the children in Rome are property of their fathers, every in their lives are controlled for their "clan" like their names, for example, their first name was a personal name, the second name was of their clan, and the third name was the family name. The education of children was completely in the hands of their parents too. Is the same such as the boys as the girls. When the father die, the oldest son must take the role of the head of the family. Any adult son couldn't enter into any form of contract without agreement of his father. In adition, it would have been impossible for any young man to follow a political career, if he was still under his father's authority.
Other main thing is the marriage in Roman society. The favorite month for marriage was in June. When the girls was around thirteen years old is the perfect time to get married, and her parents always decide her couple. However, women had few rights in marriage. A husband could divorce his wife if she did not bear a son. But, when a couple had children, especially the first boy, the wife get a little more authority.
Although, the father's influence is strong, the mother in ancient rome also had an important work. In general, woman in Roman society were not given much power. She couldn't to take part in political process. In fact, women such as queens could get a few power position but the Romans did not look it favorably. Take into account, the lives of woman changed all right their position in society. The women who came from the wealthy level of society would spend much of their days socializing and planning their next entertainment with their friends. Besides, this women would have slaves do all the home work, like wash clothes. Few women get lived pleasure, because the greater part had to keep her house and charge of raising children. Always, when a man returned home, he expected to find his house in order.

Women's responsability were basic. All the time, women had to cleaned the house and shopping for food necessary. Women were in charge of many subjects about their home and their children however, other women also worked out home, for example women were put in charge of making cheese, and other food for sell.
The Roman sense of familiy life applied also to a person's dead.
