 * Romans believed in the rule of the law. In other words, the law RULED.
 * Senate & assemblies were important. But they didn't cooperate that well.
 * Emperor's word is ultimate source. Ya obey, or YA DIE!!!
 * The Romans honored old traditions. The polite way to say it is elderly, Eleanor!
 * Senators had high status. Top of the totem pole!
 * Senators also had their very own styles of clothing. Going down the ol' catwalk! (but not so pretty models on it! :-P )
 * Bodyguards carried fasces- bundles of sticks with an axe in the center. ARRGGHHH!!!
 * Roman laws were very strict. Pin drop- SHUSH IT!!!
 * Crime- stealing, assault, and murder. Don't you dare point that knife at me! Correction- knives.
 * Rich neighborhoods were patrolled more than the poor. I spy a rich neighborhood!!!
 * Some streets were closed at night. ROAD CLOSED!!!
 * Romans protected themselves from crimes. Go away! I have protections! HIEEE-YAAAAAAA!!!
 * Men wore rags and women and children weren't allowed to go outside. WHY NOT?!?!?!?
 * Any Romans could accuse anyone of a crime. You! You took my pie! Charge a trial against him!!!!!!
 * Citizens made up the jury. You, you, you, you, you, and.........ME!!!
 * Accused romans wore rags or brought wife and children sob to win sympathy. Cry! CRY!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'll wear rags.
