What were some problems with ancient Rome?
They include economic crises, barbarian attacks, farming issues from exhausted soil due to over-cultivation, inequality between the rich and the poor, detachment of local elites from public life, and economic recession as a result of overreliance on slave labor.
Did Romans actually speak Latin?
Latin was used throughout the Roman Empire, but it shared space with a host of other languages and dialects, including Greek, Oscan and Etruscan, which give us a unique perspective on the ancient world.
What language did the ancient Romans speak?
Latin is the language that was spoken by the ancient Romans. As the Romans extended their empire throughout the Mediterranean, the Latin language spread. By the time of Julius Caesar, Latin was spoken in Italy, France, and Spain.
What were the social issues in the Roman Empire?
However, the introduction of the social problems of corruption, crime, and unemployment meant that people did not take pride in being a Roman citizen. External problems also led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Another problem that led to fall of the empire was the weakening of the empire's frontiers or borders.
