It Turns out the Ancient Rome consisted of a number of pastimes
I grew up loving. They loved the water and they enjoyed outdoor hunting. I could get
along with the ancient Romans. A common pass time of young men (but not limited
to) was swimming at the Roman baths. The Tiber River was also a common place
for swimming.
If the people were not in the mood to swim they could be found down by the water, fishing. Their hunting expeditions did not stop there; Roman culture encouraged trips to the country for some good hunting. They had great taste!

Wow I actually leaned something new from your post! I had no idea that those activities were popular in Rome. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Mark. Its kinda cool to think that we share some of the same habbits and hobbies as an ancient civilization. Typically when we think of other nations or especially ancient civilizations we focus on the weird traditions or beliefs that they had, but I think its important to realize that we are all the same in more ways than we typically think about.
ReplyDeleteDid you get a tag this year for the hunt?
I didn't! I would have liked to but unlike back in Ancient Rome, to hunt costs some more cash then I am willing to spend right now! Did you?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's that it isn't that surprising that the Romans enjoyed these activities. Men of all ages have enjoyed hunting and fishing. Do you know if they had any special method unique to their culture?
