=The Roman World = Throughout its history, Rome emphasized the values of discipline, strength, and loyalty. A person with all these qualities was said to have the important virtue of //gravitas//( a quality of substance or depth of personality). The Romans were a practical group of people. They honor strength more than beauty, power more than grace, and usefulness more than elegance.

Most of the Romans lived on the countryside and worked on farms. In Rome and smaller cities, merchants, soldiers, slaves, foreigners, and philosophers shared the noisy and crowed streets. Here, everyone came together to create a diverse society. They also worshiped many gods and goddesses.
