<h1>🏙️ Life in a Roman City</h1>
<h2>Week 10 &bull; Wednesday &bull; Forums, Baths, and Markets</h2>

<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>Let's walk through ancient Rome! At the center of every Roman city was the <strong>forum</strong> — a big open square surrounded by temples and shops. People came to buy food, hear news, watch speeches, and meet friends. It was the heart of the city.</p>

<p>Romans LOVED the public <strong>baths</strong>. These were like giant swimming centers with warm pools, hot pools, cold pools, exercise yards, and even libraries! People went almost every day, not just to get clean but to relax and chat with friends.</p>

<p>Rich families lived in fancy houses with open courtyards, while most people lived in tall apartment buildings called <strong>insulae</strong>. Kids played with wooden toys, marbles, and board games. Dinner might be bread, olives, cheese, figs — and a fish sauce called garum that Romans put on almost everything!</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:2px;">Eat it Roman-style — lying on your side propped on one elbow, the way wealthy Romans ate at dinner parties! Is it comfy or tricky?</p>
