Rich Romans used to live in a big villa, Romans had pets like animals, birds, fish, the greyhound, the ferret, the blackbird, the nightingale, the parrot, and small monkeys. mothers and daughters tended to the household chores, the fathers spent a few hours working each day. Below are some of the typical jobs: farming, baking, building, selling and trading goods and making clothes. most men and boys headed to the baths, which required only a very small fee to enter. Here people gathered, not only to wash but also to sit and talk among friends. The bathhouses usually included gardens, gymnasiums, libraries, and other forms of recreation.a cold bath was something like a swimming pool, while other rooms were available for hot baths. After having a bath, most would head home for their biggest meal of the day, eaten somewhere between our lunch time and dinner time.
