here are the poems -- i ended up doing the last one 5min b4 the bell rang so if its really bad i am sorry:

Hey HOME Togas were worn in Roman weddings But the bride wore an orange veil Roman temples were the setting The marriage was not to fail Women had several occupations Which included working in construction They barely even got vacations Their husbands made no objections SCHOOL Poor children worked around age five Rich children went to school The children thought school made them feel alive Although school was not the rule Languages, math, science, speaking and books All written with a stylus on boards of wax Breakfast bars were provided by cooks Summer vacation was when they could slack HOUSING Airy homes with elegancies Belonged to the wealthy and rich In the garden room were rare seeds But the poor’s homes were like a ditch Apartments and one or two room shacks Illness and fires caused many to die The life of the poor was very black But many carried on after they cried ENTERTAINMENT The wealthy of Romans went to public performances to boast They even found their baths to be essential If the favorite of the gladiators won the fight, the Romans would raise a toast. For the gladiators that didn’t perform their best, it would be very consequential Both the rich and the poor attended the chariot races Circus Maximus was the large hippodrome that held these exciting social events This was one of Rome’s most exotic places Spectators never knew if they would meet a special someone so they wore sweet smelling scents Roman crowds cheered for their favorite racers Skilled charioteers handled one to four speedy horses at a time The driver in first thought of the other drivers as charging chasers For the Romans to enjoy these races didn’t cost them a dime FOOD AND DRINK Elegant foods meant you were wealthy The dinner parties were extravagant and nice The spices meant some foods were unhealthy But the Romans could not live without any spice The Romans and guests ate lying down They chatted and drank lots of wine Before the guests left they received gifts like crowns  A good gift was a wealthy sign I have the Education poem, the Housing poem, and I'm working on Food and Drink this weekend. I also have the Pax Romana facts and the Latin phrase. I can get some more of the facts this weekend too. ~Jess the awesomest

- Shannon__**
 * __OOOO thats great!! we got almost everything done! I hope austin does his work i swore he had a wiki name!

So what we need to get done is: (number = number on Graffiti sheet)

4b.) 3 family facts w/ defs: 6.) 3 economic facts: Pax Romana meant one coin was used throughout empire, 9.) 3 army/expansion facts

FINISHED: 1.) Latin phrase: nos quisnam es super morior tutus vos (meaning, "We who are about to die salute you." It's what Roman Gladiators said to the emperor before the gladiator games began.) __**3.) Romen women wore orange veils on the day of thir wedding. The groom and the bride also wore white togas. Romen women also had many jobs such as construction work, and being in goverment. They did not want to depend on the husband for all the money. The father chose wether or not to keep their baby when they are first born, based on how healthy the baby is. If the baby was sick or weak they would leave it outside to die.** 4a.)__ Romans had huge dinner parties and feasts every night to show off to their neighbors, they went to bath houses to get clean and to see entertainment and hang out etc., and the gladiator fights along with the Circus Maximus were popular forms of entertainment 5.) Aquaduct, Roman arch, and wasn't it the romans who created plumbing? __7.) Legend/Religion: Gods - Venus, Mars, Diana, Minerva, Ceres, Pluto, Vulcan, Juno, Mercury, Vesta, Saturn, Proserpina, Neptune, Jupiter. Legend - Romulus and Remus were thrown overboard by their father but saved by a she-wolf. They went on to fight over Rome, but Romulus killed his brother and named the city after himself. 10.) 3 facts with Augustus and Pax Romana: trade increased, laws standardized, chose government for talent not birthright 15.) I did plot facts is that okay? Tryphaena was an evil ruler, Cleopatra's father was king of Egypt but after someone tried to kill him with a snake he got drunk a lot, Berenice had her husband killed (beheaded, actually) because she wasn't pleased with him anymore, Cleopatra was the natural to take over the throne and she had two older sisters and a younger brother and sister, and they all lived (not very happily it seems to me) in Alexandria, Egypt (right?????)
 * 2.) There were 2 (how do you say like staus's in like money nd stuff?) __. They are: Plebians and Patricans; plebians were the lower class and the patricans were the upper class.__** //We need 3 facts but you say like, plebians didn't have as much money and had small homes. Patricians came from "royal" and rich families and had much more right than the plebians (name their rights over the plebians)// **That's three facts isn't it? (with wat u added!) it sounds good!**
 * 8.) The alphbet, the gods, weapons and fighting formation... what do mean we need to change or wht eva to it?**__

Everyone has taken one or more poem(s) to work on, so all of those should be done by Monday -- make sure they are legible, please. As you get things done please move them to the COMPLETED side with the answer. I'm going to start in on the criteria above -- but I don't want to do all of them, you guys should have some 'fun' too -- lol. Just let me know how you want to split it up. ~Jess
