Document Summary
Relationships and roman life: how they dealt with others who didn"t share the same beliefs. City vs countryside: over-refinement versus real virtue, otium versus negotium: can explain how they lived with 2 diff ways. Greater opportunity to meet individuals within city of rome, become more accepting, but was over-refined, focused on different values. City: huge number of people, was quite easy to find persons who didn"t behave in proper way. Frequently dealing with thieves in the city, dangerous to walk in certain parts of city at night. More sleeping in country side, silence not offered in rome, more time for themselves. Italy and humanitas: believed that rome and italy were the origin of human values. Started conquering territory far from rome, started to encounter people of diff cultures, opinions. Real concern: some cults could break public order. Jews and christians, didn"t worship emperor, lack of respect to rome.
