Pax Romana

The Emporers and Succesion

There was no written law for how to transfer the power between emporers. This problem was temporarily solved by the 5 good emporers. This meant that while they were serving, they chose a great leader to take the position after them, not just family members.

Entertainment

The Roman Government provided free entertainment, so both rich and poor could watch it. These free games included mock battles, gladiator fights, etc. You could watch the games in the Colleseum.

Food

Agriculture was one of the main parts of everday life for Romans, due to the high amount of farm/crop land. About 90% of the citizens were engaged in farming

Some of the most expensive, and odd foods were parrot-toungue pie and boiled ostrich.

Managing a Huge Empire
