  1. It is so fascinating. I really like the paintings, statues and the historical places from that time they are marvelous. I wish I could live a period of time there to see how it actually was.

    • Feedback
      * from that time they are marvelous = from that time. They are marvelous. (2 independent sentences)

  2. D.r Hariri actually this documentary was really go’s but we had this like a one year ago.

    • We might have studied that before. However, since there is no comment from you on this post, I thought we hadn’t studied it earlier.

  3. When I was a child, I used to be so fascinated by roman myths and history. I used to read about the ancient Rome facts from encyclopedia multiple times.

    • Feedback
      * roman myths = Roman myths
      * from encyclopedias (plural form)

  4. Ancient civilizations are fantastic and somehow mysterious. How they reached to such level of knowledge that can attract our attention to their architecture and monuments. One of the most interesting civilization is the ancient Rome. The Rome had so many eye capturing features. Those building e.g. Coliseum how they build it and how they managed to held such amazing ceremonies within it . The rise of ancient Rome cevilization and the deep effects that this ancient Rome had on other parts of world is the matter of much debates. We clearly see that European languages and more than that the language of today science have deeply rooted in ancient Rome language. I only can say that it was a really admirable civilization that like all magnificent things in the world may have some dark shadows. It was inevitable that through ages might be some dictatorships in Rome or some cultural and ritual ceremonies like fighting between gladiators that we look at them suspiciously and give them negative marks.
    But overall their score in the history is great.

    • Thank you so much for this elaborate comment.
