Detailed explanation-1: -Roman religion involved cult worship. Approval from the gods did not depend on a person’s behavior, but on accurate observance of religious rituals. Each god needed an image – usually a statue or relief in stone or bronze – and an altar or temple at which to offer prayers and sacrifices.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you were richer, you would live in larger single homes called domus. These usually had many rooms off an atrium which was a room in the centre of the house with an open roof. Poor Romans who lived in the countryside would live in shacks or cottages while rich Romans would live in large, sprawling villas.
Detailed explanation-3: -Roman citizens were divided up into two distinct classes: the plebeians and the patricians. The patricians were the wealthy upper class people. Everyone else was considered a plebeian.
Detailed explanation-4: -The aristocracy (wealthy class) dominated the early Roman Republic. In Roman society, the aristocrats were known as patricians.
