    Rome had a very strict (1) social structure

    PATRICIANS
    ● Roman (2) Citizens
    ● (3) wealthy
    ● Held (4) government offices
    ● Owned (5) land

    PLEBEIANS
    ● Roman (6) Citizens
    ● (7) largest group
    ● Owned land, often (8) wealthy
    ● Often farmers, artisans, and merchants

    FREEDMAN
    ● (9) former slaves
    ● (10) Not citizens
    ● Not allowed to hold (11) public or join the military
    ● Could own (12) land

    SLAVES
    ● No (13) legal rights
    ● (14) Not citizens
    ● Worked on farms, in mines and as (15) household servants
    ● Some were highly skilled and could be farmers, artisans, and merchants

    Roman women were (16) not citizens and could not be a part of the (17) government.
    They could, however, (18) own property.

    The status of children in the Roman Republic depended on (19) gender and the status
    of their (20) parents . Most children were taught at home, but children of
    (21) wealthy parents were often sent to school or had (22) tutors. Girl children were
    taught how to take care of a (23) household and (24) married at a young age. Boys
    were taught how to (25) farm or were trained for the (26) army.

    The end of the Punic Wars brought change, and wealth, to the Roman Empire. Huge
    (27) estate was built, and the wealthy landowners turned farming into a business. Many small
    farmers ended up (28) losing their land to the wealthy landowners.

    The conquest of new lands allowed the Romans to (29) trade for goods they previously did not
    have or could not get without difficulty. Using the
    (30) silk road, a trading route that linked China to the Mediterranean Sea, Romans began
    traveling to India and China. These goods included items such as
    (31) cinnamon, (32) silk and (33) ivory.

    As the Republic grew, so did its (34) religion. The Romans did not force conquered subjects to
    follow the Roman religion. They absorbed the gods and beliefs of the new people. Roman
    religion shows how (35) diverse the Roman Republic really was.

    The Roman Republic experienced (35) war and


    (36) invasion for more than 500 years. However, it's most dangerous threat was from within - a
    changing and corrupt government.
