Lifestyle refers to the way people spent their lives. How they spent their spare time, they usually would have fun with it.

There were many similarities and differences between Rome, India, and Greece. They all had marketplaces, and had some entertainment outside. They also all had a social class, the kings lived a luxurious life. Each civilization had a certain sign that resembled them.. There were also many differences as well.

In India, there was no specific name for the marketplace. India had a different season called the monsoon season. This meant that water would flow into the lakes and would help the crops grow which meant that people could trade and buy goods. This season contains a lot of rain. It also contains a lot of destruction too. All the weak houses would be destroyed. People enjoyed activities like dancing and swimming.Costumes-of-ancient-india.jpg

Romans had no specific name for the marketplace, they would go there because of the nice weather, like Greece. In Rome people hand to hand combat two men would fight each other to the death depending on the emperors decision. People would all gather to this event so they could watch tough men fight each other. People fought to the death for other people enjoyment. These people were called gladiators. Gladiators were usually slaves of the time which meant that there only life decision they had was to either fight to live another day or to die in a fight. If they didn't fight in battle the were usually humiliated in the crowd and sometimes even beaten by their masters.
