Here are some Latin grammar present verb system endings and the verb to be. At the end I included some notes on the parts of a Roman house from my high school Latin class notebook. Just trying to post every week, and I am little late in posting this week as I try to post Monday night currently. Hopefully, it intrigues people to look into this part of history a little. It is very interesting, and can be worthwhile to read.

Three Classes in Roman Society
Patricians – upper class- lawyers, senators, merchants, etc.
Equistrians – middle class
Plebians – lower class, commoners, slaves
Roman Saying – Panem et circenses
translates as bread and circuses and basically meant that if you feed people well and provide entertainment it generally keeps them happy and makes them friends, hence the gladiator games provided bread and entertainment for all of the people throughout various locations in the Roman empire
Parts of a Roman House
ianua – door
tabernae – store/shops
cubicula – bedroom
atrium – dome, entrance
impluvium – pool, located in atrium probably had not ceiling above it
compluvium – area around pool located in atrium
tablinum – office/study
paristylim – courtyard

triclinium – eating area with three couches where servants fed them
hortus – garden
probably had some benches and waiting areas also, there were also bedrooms for slaves
Ancient Roman society was made up of about 70% slaves, and the gladiator games did involve killing people. Nowadays, most people would probably not approve and or at least see that as normal.
