CLC Unit 1 Review

"I am the pater familias and a banker by occupation. I am a fair, trustworthy, and level-headed man."

"I am the mater familias. I always make sure that the slaves are doing their jobs and that my hair is done up in the latest fashion."

"I am the son of a wealthy Pompeian banker. I spend my time with friends, and once I broke a statue at the palaestra."

I am the daughter of Caecilius and Metella. I really don't seem to do much. I'm often found sitting and reading in the garden.

"I am an artist by trade. A rich banker once paid me to paint a picture of Hercules fighting a lion in his triclinium."

"I am an honest merchant....What? That is certainly not an impression of my ring in the wax... Yes, it is strange that they look so similar... Oh, please don't take me to the basilica again!"

"I used to be a slave, but my master freed me because I saved his son from a thief."

"I was a very famous gladiator... if only I had seen that lion. Some say that my angry ghost haunts the streets of Pompeii and snatches people who are out late (like poor Decēns)

"I am a Roman senator. I put on a fabulous gladiatorial show to celebrate my birthday in 59 AD, but the spectators started a terrible riot which ultimately got me exiled and the games banned in Pompeii for a time."

"I am a very great and well-known athlete. One day I was demonstrating my discus-throwing skills in the palaestra when some annoying kid broke the nose off my statue!"

I am the family dog. I really like to bark and sleep.
