Portal:Ancient Rome/Did you know

Welcome to the Did you know page of the Roman Empire Portal. This is the page where interesting facts are stored and nominated to appear on the main portal page. The following guidelines apply to Did you know...? entries:
 * 1) Try to find facts that are interesting and not just run of the mill information.
 * 2) Make sure the fact that is used comes from a wikipedia article and not an outside source.
 * 3) Finally remember to have fun nominating DYKs; don't make it a chore.
