The Ancient Rome Civilization

Ancient Rome Artifacts

The ancient Rome civilization will forever be one of the most popular civilizations. The ancient Rome mirror, gambling dice, and the hook are three artifacts that are most commonly known for increasing the value of the civilization. “Mirrors were quite important because cleanliness and grooming were highly valued in empire.” The mirror was used to insure you are well groomed and is still used for that main purpose today. The gambling dice was a significant artifact that lost of the civilization used. “Dice were carried all across the Roman Empire by travelling, after a long hard day soldiers of toil and misery soldiers would congregate rowdily around fires and in taverns, drinking and playing games of chance with dice.” Dice had many different purposes, they could take up free time used for games or used to relive stress of soldiers who were in war. Ancient Rome hooks were probably the most important piece of artifact the civilization had. “Hooks in ancient Rome were used for many purposes including tools, fishing, medical instruments, and even weapons. The Ancient Romans made their hooks out of bronze or a mix of different metals. Each hook was shaped and molded into a sharp or blunt hook depending on its purpose.” As you have read you can see that the Ancient Rome civilization had lots of popular and well known artifacts that are used in today’s world.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
