- Basic Country Life In Rome
- “The Roman elite, wealthy, prestigious, privileged, and influent had no other work than managing its
estates, often made up of extended lands and great villas and townhouses in the countryside. Here
they used to hold elegant banquets to show their generosity and richness.” “Even though the cities of
the empire were largely inhabited and had impressive buildings, 90 percent of the population lived and
worked in the countryside in very harsh conditions. Particularly bad was the situation in Egypt, where
most of the peasants lived in crushing poverty and had none of the diversions of the city like games,
religious festivals, or free distribution of food. Those hard conditions cause a move from the
countryside to the cities. This phenomenon eventually led to a depopulation of the countryside. “

- The Country: The place Romans love to be
- Romans liked the countryside because of its natural beauty
- The development of a villa was inspired by roman poems. " In a
villa rustica in the countryside they believed pure life and country
air allowed for a man to experience true otium (free time).”
