Medieval society: How feudalism works

Middle Ages village

Roman cities: walls, aqueducts, stone roads, bridges, forum, amphitheatres...

WALLS: the cities were surrounded by walls. For example: Avila Roman Walls. 

AQUEDUCTS: to carry water from rivers and lakes to cities. For example: Roman Aqueduct of Segovia. 

STONE ROADS: to connect cities. For example: La Vía de la Plata. 

El mundo romano era muy amplio y había que comunicarlo de una manera eficiente. Para ello, se construyó en todo el territorio una extensa red de calzadas, que no solo hacía que aumentasen las relaciones económicas y sociales, sino que habilitaba una forma rápida de trasladar los ejércitos, y, así, defender los núcleos de población. Estas vías necesitaban atravesar montañas y pasar sobre grandes ríos, construyéndose para ello puertos de montaña y puentes, fijos y estables.

BRIDGES: built over the rivers. For example: the Roman bridge of Salamanca.

FORUM: It was in the middle of the city. It was a square surrounded by important buildings. It was the city´s cultural and political centre. 

AMPHITHEATRES: where people watched fights between gladiators and between gladiators and wild animals.

CIRCUS: Along with theatres and amphitheatres, circuses were one of the main entertainment sites of the time. Circuses were venues for chariot races and horse races.

THEATRES: public places that hosted events such as plays and choral events. Theatres have semicircular form while amphitheatres are round. 

Example: Roman theatre of Mérida.
