hannibal crossing the alps was one of the greatest military achievements of anicient warfare. happend durindg the 2nd punic war. hannibal crossing the alps was known to be one of the major achievements of the second punic war and took 16 days. he crossed it because it was a good plan for a sneak attack and the wars where fought because of pure hatered.
hannibal doing this was a bad idea cause he lost alot of his war elephants and men. it also took more time and effort
trade was vital to the romans they traded alot of beef corn glass iron lead leather marble silt and silver, they mainly traded with spain france middle east and north africam made trade very simple by only using 1 form of currency. they used the tiber river mediterranean sea and the black sea, 2way trade routes extended to other commercial centers in lands as far away as egypt germany and china, the empires location around the mediterranean sea helped make all this commercial activity possible.
yes they could make profit by trading
roman ag used crop rotation sometimes had to import food becase of mountains, after conquering egypt able to import lots of wheat, most of crops raised on large estates called latifudias, cicero considered farming the best of all roman occupations, the main crop was wheat and was at every mean,most farm work was done by slaves, farms created main source of income for romans, certain types of food were given out to the bublic for free like corn and wheat, ince roman empire stretched through alot of land there were diffrent climates to allow a mix of crops produced,
pro would be more crops and money
con would be you have more slaves
anichent rome ddepended of slaves most slaves were foregners and unlike most places it did not depend on race, not uncommon for desperate romans to sell their children into slavery, when freed they could work the same jobs as others, slave debt was common where a pperson could work off a debt by becoming a slave for a certain period of time, some slave were forced to become gladiators, when a slave was freed the master would show appreciation and respect to his slave, slaves worked as manual labor, domestic services, could be highly educated and skilled would work as teachers and physicians, slaves task include working on farms produced the food and miterals the cities depended on, buinesses managed shops for store woners in charge of shop keeping lenging of money and sellign of merchandise
i would rather be a slave cause it seems like they got treated well and had the oppurnity to become free and make more money
gladiators where games fought between an armed man and a crminal wild animal or another solider, they where fought in the coliseum in front of a large audience many of the people who fought the criminals and wild animals risked their social standing and their lives for the glory they had costumes and senery, the empror at the end would have thumbs up for let the loser live and thumb down to kill him, the order of th gladiator games where 1. animal hunts- they had a scene and the emperor would use a bow and shoot animals from his seats 2. the bestiarii- these gladiators trainded to fight tigers and lions 3. criminals were sentenced to fight the wild beasts at the games with out any skills weapons or armor
i would fight the animal for the slight chance of winning
