Roman Empire Era

The Roman Empire era was betwen the years 27BC and AD 476. It was located in Rome, Italy. Rome was also the capital. It was a very huge city full of enormous constructions, religious temples (the Romans adored many Gods), market places, and many public squares. Wherever you walked you could find beautiful statues of their Gods. They had a main piazze where everyone gathered to hear the speeches from the Caesar or to celebrate their religious celebrations. Their more important construction is the Colosseum, a place that held combats between gladiators and between prisoners and ferocious animals like lions or tigers. The people gathered in the Colosseum the weekends to watch these combats. However, this was a very bloody spectacle where the ones that participated just suffered.
The city was always full of happiness and you could find many ways of entertaining yourself wherever you went. The weather in Rome is really nice because it's temperate. If the days were hot you could refresh yourself in the fountains.
Education and scientific development was very increased during this era.
However, since that time, the government that was formed by patricians was a very corrupt organization that only acted for their own benefit.
I would really had liked to live in that era. I only would had cancelled the combats because they attempted against the human integrity and eliminated the corruption that since that time already existed because corruption is a fact that spoils all societies, and maybe the Fall of the Roman Empire was related in some way to that corruption. But behind that, I wouldn't had changed anything because it was a very nice era that could had accomplished all my needs.
