Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The Maximus family is on the way to Turui. Except that Massim himself was sent to the private workshop in the city several times by the slave camp to help the maid, Fulvia and her two children lived even far away. The slave camp, not far from Turriy, has never visited this largest city in the Western Mediterranean for several years.

The avenue leading to the city alone at their feet delighted them. It was flat and wide. There were deep drainage ditches on both sides of the road and well-arranged street trees further away from the drainage ditches. Row of white steles.

The two children who walked out of the cage were novel about all this. They yelled and yelled, chased each other on the sidewalk, and when tired, they sat on a wooden bench on the side of the road to rest for a while, and then curiously scratched the top with three engraved White stele of the head dog statue.

At this time, Massims rushed over and warned them to stay away from the stele because it was the tombstone of the war dead of the citizens of Turi in Dionysia, and no one should be blasphemous.When Sims entered the city for the first time, he heard people say: The names of Dionysian soldiers will be enshrined in the temple for worship, and their tombstones stand on both sides of the avenue. Due to the wishes of their families and citizens, it is hoped that pedestrians who come and go will be able to understand their heroic deeds, perceive the hard-won life today, and at the same time deter those outsiders who are in bad faith...

It is said that this practice originated from Turri, and has now been emulated by the towns of the kingdom.It used to make Massim have to sigh: How could Dionysia give such noble courtesies to the citizens who died in war, how could he not allow the living citizens to continue their battles, so that Dionysia could destroy Rome, not From fluke!

When the children are excited and playing, they are always easy to forget. After the two of them were tired and sat on the stone tablets, they were caught by the inspectors. Not only did they reprimand them, but they also fined 10 Opol. And also check the identity of Massimus.

After learning that Maxim was a liberated slave, the inspectors also told him some laws and regulations that should be observed in the city of Turi, and warned him not to violate them.

The two children were obviously frightened, and they followed closely with their parents since then.

As the city of Turui is getting closer and closer, there are more and more pedestrians on the road, and the fields on both sides of the road are gradually being replaced by more and more houses...

Standing in the hustle and bustle of people, not only his wife and children, but Maxim himself also became a little apprehensive, looking at the countless heads in front of him, and the overlapping houses, even the shadow of the inner city walls. If you can't help yourself, you will be wondering: How huge is this city, can you really gain a foothold here?

When Massimus, who had imagined how he lived in the city of Thuri, countless times before, really stood in front of this giant city, he deeply felt his own insignificance, but close to his wife and children made him again Become strong, like other people entering the city, with the expectation of a better life, move forward with the flow of people.

Half an hour later, they stood in front of the statue of Hermes, Massimo wiped sweat, said: "The outer city of Turri is in front."

Fulvia's eyes widened: "After walking for so long, haven't you entered Turri's city?!"

Forvia grew up in the city of Rome from an early age. Rome, who consciously has a population of more than 100,000, is already a huge city, but compared to the city in front of it, it is a rare thing.Although she was also a Roman aristocrat, she is also a traditional Roman woman. She usually raises children and takes care of household chores. Her husband is in charge of other things. At this time, she has no idea. She asked in a panic: "Masims... …where are we going?"

When Sims was in the slave camp, he repeatedly asked free and pre-citizens about this issue. There was a set of plans after he was free. Compared with some compatriots who are still reluctant to recognize reality, he passed various The channel already has a clear understanding: Dionia has ruled most of the Italian peninsula. If his family still wants to survive on this familiar land, they can only live in the territory of the Kingdom of Dionysia. To get a better life, of course, you must become a citizen of Dionysia as soon as possible.

So for him, the first thing to do after becoming a liberated slave is to apply and register at the household registration office, willing to become a citizen of Dionysia.

So, Maximus bravely asked a patrol that was patrolling.

The inspectors told him the location of the nearest inspection station with more enthusiasm.

After entering the outer city, the first feeling for the Masims was that they walked more freely. Pedestrians could walk on the main road in the middle. As long as the traffic was not intentionally blocked, the patrol team would not find it troublesome.

This is because there are many shops on both sides of the road: furniture shops, iron shops, cloth shops, pottery shops, cookware shops, medicine shops, butcher shops, fruit stalls, vegetable stalls, bakeries... and some Rome and even other city-states will not Some shops.

For example, underwear shop (affiliated to the Christosia Chamber of Commerce), the door is specially guarded, only women are allowed to enter, and most of them are women in gorgeous clothes.

School tools shop-a shop specializing in selling student appliances, Massims also took a closer look. The dazzling variety of learning appliances are not only finely made, but also cheap in price, if not considering the place of residence. Undecided, he also wanted to pay for some for the children.

Most of the commodities in competitive equipment stores are football and football supplies.

The two children looked at the statues of stars made of various materials on the shelves curiously.

The guys in the shop took the opportunity to sell to Simism: "If you want to buy, I recommend you to buy this. This is the statue of our great king, the third son of Prince Briantes, don't look at him only 16 At the age of three, he has played three times in our Turri football game and won a touchdown, but it is very popular with children!"

The king's son also participates in football games!...Despite being curious, Massimus has no urge to buy.

Medical tools shop, the things sold in it are more professional, doctors' surgical instruments, fracture treatment equipment, trauma treatment equipment...etc. are very complete, so Maximus has to sigh: "No wonder in the slave camp clinic The doctor once proudly declared,'Dionysia's medicine is the best in the entire Mediterranean!'"

Bath shops, various styles of wooden bathtubs, stone bathtubs, bath herbs, spices, shavers, shavers, bath towels, lubricating oils, algae mud masks, etc.... People's love for bathing.

There are actually flower shops here. Some flowers and plants that are everywhere like wild grass in the mountains of Rome are actually grandly placed in clay pots and placed on the shelf. Although the price is very cheap, it is not uncommon for people to come to buy , Which surprised Fulvia.

The Turui people's habit of planting flowers and plants originates from the inner city.When Turi City was rebuilt, in order to make the entire city beautiful and pleasing to the eye, Davers had suggested that every family plant flowers and plants in their own courtyards, and also asked Helps to lead doctors to promote the outside world, saying, "Planting flowers and plants can make Fresh air is good for health."

After the urban area expands outwards, the concept of planting flowers and plants has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, but many people in the outer city areas do not have the same large houses as the people in the inner city areas, and some people even have small houses, but they will plant flowers and plants in In a special crock, put it on the balcony or indoors to please yourself and others.Later, many people were too busy and did not have time to dig flowers and grass in the wild, and the flower shop came into being.

Although Massimus has been to the city of Turiyi several times, he hastily walked under the employer’s custody every time. When he has time to wander slowly, he has just been free today. Although he still has something to worry about, he was still The shops on both sides of the street are attracting.

When he turned around and found that his wife and children were not around, he was startled and hurriedly searching. He soon saw two children jumping on a row of small stone piers in the middle of the road ahead, and his wife was trying to persuade them come back.

Massimo hurried over to stop the playfulness of these two naughty children.

"Daddy, these little stone pier is very fun!" The 5-year-old son was pulled by Massim, and he was excited to jump up.

"Dad, why did the Dionysians put so many stone pier on the road, it is not easy to trip people?" 7-year-old son asked curiously.

Massims looked at these small square pieres that lined up from one side of the road to the other side. They were firmly welded to the pavement by cement. The pier was half a meter apart. The children explained: "This is called the speed limit stone. You see, because there are many shops on the roadside, there are many people buying things, so some people have to walk to this avenue. But, look at this avenue A lot of carriages and pack animals, if they run too fast, they can easily knock down people, right?"

The two children nodded.

"So how do you keep them from hitting people?" Maximus asked wisely.

"Don't let the carriage enter the city." The 5-year-old son replied.

"Those terrible uncles (referring to the inspection team) do not allow the carriage to speed up." This was the elder son's answer.

Massimus touched the heads of the two children and said seriously: "If you don't let the carriage into the city, would it be very tiring for so many things in these shops to be moved in by people from outside! Those terrible! 'S uncle can really slow down the carriage, but from morning till night, they have to stare, will they be tired? But this thing can make the driver and the driver consciously slow down, because only when the wheels are right Aligned between the stone pier, the carriage can pass smoothly, otherwise it may be damaged..."
