Romulus and Remus choose the Two Hills of Tiger to build a city as the epitome of civilization. Traits of the people and the lifestyles of wealthy families are seen in remnants of the homes and gardens.
Possessing slaves is a status symbol since they are vital to every aspect of family life. Trained and intelligent slaves are highly valued and have better lives than poor Romans.
Ancient Roman religion has no moral or spiritual function. Prayers, offerings, sacrifices, and temples play a part in their pragmatic practices. Romans adopt “oriental” gods and reject Christianity at first.
