The Romans were excellent builders.
They built:
- Theatres for performing plays.
- Amphitheatres for watching gladiator fights.
- Circuses for watching chariot races.
- Temples for worshipping their gods.
- Bath houses, called thermae, for bathing and relaxing.
- Aqueducts, for transporting water to the cities.
The Romans decorated their houses with works of art:
- Frescos were beautiful wall paintings.
- Mosaics were elaborated floor decorations made from thousands of tiny, coloured tiles.
The Romans spoke a language called Latin.
Castilian Spanish, Catalan and Galician are some modern languages that developed from Latin.
