💡 罗马只让男性公民投票,跟Athens 直接民主(G2)一样限制。但罗马投票面比 Athens 还窄: ① 女人不能投(同 Athens) ② 奴隶不能投(同 Athens) ③ 非公民不能投(Plebeian 是公民可以,但被征服地的"非公民"不行——这就是 R2 学的 Auxiliary 25 年服役换公民身份的诱饵) ④ 计票方式不公平:富人的票算"几票",穷人的票算"一票"——投票权重倾向 Patrician 👉 罗马投票是"形式民主"—— 看起来"人人参政",但实质上 Patrician 控制一切。现代民主继承了"投票权"形式,逐步扩展到所有人(女性投票权 → 20 世纪初)。
📌 本节考点:① 3 阶级名字 + 各自能否投票 ② Patrician = 富 + 能投,Plebeian = 穷 + 能投,Slave = 不是公民不能投 ③ 女人不能投。
✅ 学完小检查(3 题)
1. 我能背 3 阶级英文名 + 谁能投票
2. 我能区分 Plebeian(公民)和 Slave(非公民)
3. 我能说出女人在罗马的政治地位(不能投票)

From 48 BC Julius Caesar became the first emperor of Rome. Emperors could listen to the advice of the senate.
公元前 48 年,尤利乌斯·凯撒成为罗马第一个皇帝(简化说法)。皇帝可以听取元老院的建议。
People were divided into different classes:
人民被分成不同阶级:
Patricians were wealthy citizens of Rome. They usually lived in grand houses and had slaves to do their work for them. Because they were citizens of Rome they were allowed to go to the Assembly to vote.
Plebeians were not wealthy but they were citizens of Rome. They were usually craftsmen or tradesmen and they worked for a living. Because they were citizens of Rome they were allowed to go to the Assembly to vote.
Slaves had no money, no rights, no freedom and were not citizens of Rome. Because they were not citizens of Rome they were not allowed to go to the Assembly to vote.
奴隶没钱、没权利、没自由,不是罗马公民。因为他们不是罗马公民,所以不能去公民大会投票。
Women and slaves were not allowed in the Assembly and could not vote.
"Wealthy Romans ate in the triclinium. The triclinium was a formal dining room with 3 couches around one square table. Romans who ate here, ate in a reclining position."
"For wealthy Romans, dinner parties were a chance to show off wealth and status. They often had musicians, dancers, poets, or even gladiator fights. Slaves would usually serve the food. They sometimes tested the food to check for poison!"
Cena 的"3 道菜"(罗马高级菜单)
富人 Cena 通常有 3 道菜(PPT 第 1 页菜单展示):
Gustatio 开胃菜—— 鱼酱蛋 / 牡蛎 / 蜗牛
Cena 主菜—— 烤孔雀 / 烤睡鼠 / 炖肉
Secundae Mensae 甜品—— 蜂蜜葡萄 / 蜂蜜蛋糕
🍸 Dinner Party 5 大特征
展示财富 + 地位—— 越奇怪越贵越好(孔雀、睡鼠)
娱乐—— 音乐家 / 舞者 / 诗人 / 甚至小型角斗士(在家里!)
奴隶伺候—— 上菜 + 倒酒 + 收拾
试毒—— 奴隶先尝食物,防止主人被毒杀(罗马政治斗争激烈)
9 个客人—— 标准 9 人(3 长椅 × 3 人)—— 罗马人觉得 9 是"完美数字"
🍷 Wine 葡萄酒文化
罗马人每天喝酒—— 包括小孩
但兑水—— 罗马人觉得"纯酒"是野蛮(凯尔特人 / 日耳曼人才纯喝)
葡萄酒分等级—— 富人喝陈年 Falernian(顶级),穷人喝便宜 posca(醋酒)
没有啤酒—— 罗马人觉得啤酒是蛮族饮料(不在乎大麦发酵)
为什么富人 Cena 要"奴隶试毒"?
💡 罗马政治谋杀盛行: ① 毒杀是政治常见手段—— Nero 毒杀继兄;Augustus 据说被妻子 Livia 毒死 ② 家里宴会是最易下毒的场合—— 厨师 / 仆人都可能被收买 ③ 奴隶试毒—— 先吃一口,等几分钟没事再给主人 ④ "Praegustator"(试毒奴隶)是专职岗位—— 但很多死亡 👉 罗马富人活得不安心—— 财富越多越要防暗杀。这就是为什么 R5 学的"Emperor inexperienced and corrupt"—— 很多皇帝非自然死亡。罗马 500 年帝国,但一半皇帝是被刺/被毒/被自杀。

💡 R4c 出现的 8 个核心英文术语 · 3 顿饭拉丁名 + 时间 + 宴会词。
🍳 3 顿饭(拉丁餐名)
ientaculum/jenˈtækʊləm/n. (拉丁)早餐
词源拉丁 ieiunium(禁食)+ -culum = "解除禁食的小餐"—— 跟英语 breakfast(break + fast 打破禁食)逻辑一样
教材"Breakfast (ientaculum) at sunrise."
延伸同根 jejune(贫乏的、空洞的)—— 古怪文学词,源自"空腹"
同义breakfast(英语对应词)
prandium/ˈprændiəm/n. (拉丁)午餐
词源拉丁 prandium(中午的简餐)—— 词源不太清晰,可能跟 "早上吃"有关
教材"Lunch (prandium) at noon."
延伸意大利语 pranzo、西班牙语 almuerzo 都来自 prandium
同义lunch(英语对应词)
cena/ˈkeɪnə/n. (拉丁)正餐、晚餐(重头戏)
词源拉丁 cena(主餐)—— 罗马早期 cena 在中午吃,后来移到傍晚
教材"Dinner (cena) in the evening … 富人 cena 有 musicians, dancers, gladiator fights"

3 餐难记口诀:日 i 出(ientaculum 早 + sunrise)→ 正 p 午(prandium 午 + noon)→ 晚 c ena(cena 晚 + evening)。
⏰ 时间词
sunrise/ˈsʌnraɪz/n.日出
词源sun(太阳)+ rise(升起)—— 古英语复合词
