Olympic Motto

On page 77 in our textbook, we learned the Olympic motto -- Citius, Altius, Fortius, which is Latin for "Faster, Higher, Stronger". (The Latin words are comparative adverbs, not adjectives.) The motto was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1894, and the motto was introduced in 1924 at the Olympic Games in Paris.

Rabbit vs. Hare

In Chapter 31, Pseudolus bargains for a "hare" to be added to his purchase at the butcher shop.

FIRE!!

One of the greatest enemies of the buildings of Rome was: Fire. Fires were frequent and given the widespread use of flammable materials were highly destructive. Nero's burning of Rome (64 A.D.) is a vivid memory of this but many many more fires actually beset the city both before and after Nero.

Because of this a special corps of fire fighters was set up to act as sorts of vigilantes who patrolled their areas, always on the lookout for social unrest or other potential causes of fire and to act to the best of their means to put them out.

The poorer areas of the city were built more or less without planning and streets and alleys were tight, uneven and tortuous - at least before the reconstruction of Rome which followed the great fire of Rome in the time of Emperor Nero. The great fire acted as an impulse for legislation regarding urban planning and building techniques aimed at reducing the risk of fire: streets were made wider, fewer flammable materials were to be used in construction and fire prevention corps were set up all over the city.
