ROME

ROME was a civilization that had many communities. It was in Italy. In Rome, there were many amazing buildings. In the old times, they started republics. (James)

The Colosseum was one of these famous buildings in Rome. it was built a long time ago ago by Julius Caesar. They used it as an entertainment centre - a circus where gladiators (warriors) fought to the death. (Kelly)
The original Roman language was Latin. Rome was a nation-wide centre for higher education. Rome fixed the alphabet and numbering. (Karina)
The Roman Empire went down in the 5th century because the situation in Rome changed suddenly, and they got weak and careless and corrupt.
Rome was full of beautiful buildings and some of them can still be seen today. ( Kellen)

We are lucky that Rome was strong because they gave us the alphabet and heaps of building products like concrete, ceramics and roading.
