What LIFE In ROME Really Looked Like — The GREATEST City on Earth

ROME. 100 AD. One million people. The largest city on earth. You wake up in a six-story apartment with no kitchen, no running water, and no toilet. You eat standing up at one of 200 fast food counters. You check the world's first newspaper posted on the Forum wall. You watch gladiators train at the school next to the Colosseum. You spend the afternoon with 250,000 people at the chariot races. And at night — Rome never sleeps. This is what it was really like to live in ancient Rome at its absolute peak — before the plagues, before the barbarians, before the fall. Part of our Lost Civilizations series.
