What is the female version of the name Romeo?
It's Italian and Germanic, so I'd guess Romea. Similar to Medea.
What is it like to live in Rome?
Hi There answers to your questions: Lawyers do alright in Rome in terms of salary but keep in mind that Italy in the midst of an economic downturn and your BF might not make as much as he'd like right now, although things will get better eventually. I'm not sure where you're from in France but life in Rome is pretty easy and relaxed for the most part except for the traffic which is horrible! Good food is usually pretty easy to find, although accommodations like rent can be expensive. If you're a European Union Citizen you can live and work in Rome just fine since both France and Italy are EU members, you won't need a work permit. If you're not a European Union citizen you will have issues working in Italy and will require a work permit.

What is it like to live in Rome, Italy? What is day-to-day life like? What are the biggest issues or obstacles someone faces living there? What about the biggest pluses?
The comments seem to be quite polarized. I am from the North of Italy, but grew up in Rome before moving to Australia. I also go back regularly. My viewsTraffic is by far Rome's worst problemRome is very safe for both men and women, young and old, but there is a lot of petty property crimeRome's streets are dirty. Private homes are immaculateRestaurants are, on average, not as good as what you may find in less touristic Norther cities like Milan or Bologna. If you go into the kitchens of many restaurants you will find that chefs are often Egyptian. It doesn't mean that Egyptian cooks are bad but I wish they cooked Middle-Eastern and Arabic food which I love!The older parts of the city are stunningly beautiful. The suburbs built after WW2 are usually ugly and badly plannedRomans can be wonderful people: funny, warm, self-deprecating, approachable and, above all, authentic. But they can also be abrasive and rude. In general I like Romans more than my fellow northern Italians. Unfortunately, like everywhere else in Italy, there is a degree of racism. Many Italians have not yet learned how to cope with an increasingly multi-ethnic societyThe bus service would be actually pretty good if it wasn't for Rome's traffic. The Metro is good but small.The weather is great except in summer when it can be unbearably hot and humidPublic services are bad, but improving, they will eventually deliver but don't expect Northern European efficiencyIf you wanted to live in Italy and could chose where, the best place is not Rome but medium-size northern Italian cities They are better organised, much cleaner, much easier to get around, with generally good services, less bureaucratic, have better restaurants, are extremely well connected to anywhere by road and rail and are not flooded by hordes of tourists and back-packers. But I like Romans better
Where there any female Roman emperors?
No. But some empresses were very influential. Livia, the wife of the first emperor, Augustus, for example, had a lot of political influence. She was the most important woman of her time. Another highly influential empresss was Julia Domna, wife of Septimus Severus was another empress who had great influence with her husband. However, no woman reigned in her own right, only as the wives of emperors. Cleopatra (mentioned in an answer above) did rule Egypt in her own right, but she was never a Roman empress.
Is Spain a good place to live for a young American woman?
You can't just go to another country and live there for several months and work without a some type of work visa or something. You should contact the Spanish Embassy in the largest city near you. Most big cities have one. They can tell you how to go about it and/or what you need to do/have to do that. Normally you need a student visa or a work visa. You Passport only allows you to go on vacation - not to live and work there.
What's it like for a young woman to live in Budapest, Hungary?
My browser times out looking for that “appreciated” website. Surprising that no one in the uplifting lifestyle area has never bought it.Full disclosure: I am not a woman. I am not young.But I feel the question is too broad to answer with any meaning from anyone. Do you mean in terms of relationships? Safety? Raising a family? Education? Social circles? Education? Daily life? Work? Travel?Too many options to answer your question. Please revise.
What was it like to live in Ancient Rome?
I quote from my own (as yet unpublished) work. (I’m open to offers:)The Unutterable Theft—the Histories, Horrors, Parenting, Politics and Religion of Frankenstein: 2. Prisoners.“… the image of The Godfather (Coppola, 1974) is not all that far from the reality. If anything, that image is much honeyed. In ancient Rome and with regard to internal matters every household was held a mini-mafia-style sovereign state in which wives, children, servants, slaves, extended family, even visitors—as long as they were under the roof of the paterfamilias they were the subjects of his absolute rule. The empire itself being merely the same principle write large, that was why anyone wanting to start a religion would find the city of Rome by far the best place to do it.Nowhere is any of that more evident than with the crime considered abominable beyond all others: patricide. Effectively a mini regicide, the penalty beggars belief. Regardless of age, children who killed or who merely attempted to kill their fathers were, firstly, skinned—carefully, so as not to kill them, just then. Then they were sewn into a sack along with a live dog, a snake, and a monkey. The sack was then thrown into a river. As Professor Irulan Serena puts it,‘This was a practice that included all citizens of Rome, rich or poor. It was simply an essential part of the Roman way of life to live surrounded by one’s family under the control of the oldest male in the household. This male had control over his children’s lives and could if the occasion warranted it, punish or even have them killed for disobedience.’<<< end of excerpt.
Where would a slave live? As in Ancient rome?
Slaves would live in their own quarters, as they have done so much throughout history. The precise location of their living area would depend on their occupation, but they would often be located within the housing complex of their master to prevent escape attempts. In urban areas, this was often meant they lived within the townhouse of their master, but in separate and secluded rooms. Gladiators (whom were mostly slaves and convicts), lived within their own caged off barracks for the most part. For the poor slaves that had the misfortune of being assigned to work in mines, they would be placed in squalid camps outdoors not unlike the shanty towns of today. Without running water and even basic sanitation, their lives were already shortened before the backbreaking labor of quarrying or ore mining was begun. In unusual cases, wealthy or fairly independent slaves would live on their own. Unlike the Greeks, Romans would often befriend and even emancipate their own slaves depending on their status, as some slaves were actually quite skilled craftsmen or entrepreneurs and enslaved for those particular reasons to begin with! In this event, they could often only afford the very worst residences if they lived within a city unless they were quite rich. Roman tenements were horrendously unpleasant and structurally unsound buildings that often caught fire and even spontaneously collapsed (as it stands, none survived to even the Medieval era). Poorer residents of apartments lived on higher floors, as wealthier citizens bought out the lower rooms to facilitate escape in the event of the before mentioned fires that often took entire city blocks with them. Somewhat predictably, garbage (including human waste) was thrown out the window and into the street in the precise same manner it would be in the Middle Ages and beyond. Even Roma was unpleasant enough for patricians to prefer to live in the countryside.
Would you like to have lived in ancient Rome and why?
A visit? Yes. Living in Ancient Rome? Never.1 of every 3 children didn't live to be 15 years old (that's why it was so celebrated)Girls of 16 were already pregnant or with children. Dying while giving birth was normal. That's why most Roman men had two or three wives during their lives and it was normal for the last spouse to be 15 or 20 years younger than the man.Bad doctors, bad dentists, bad sewers, bad water, bad hygiene meant that a lot of people stank, had rotten mouths with missing teeth, pustules and eczemas. People looked much older. That's why everybody went for young people.Talking about that: young slaves raped. Yeah, great if you have to throw up.Going anywhere in the city meant walking at least one hour. Over bad coblestones without stepping on manure with sandals. The footwear of the women was so bad that most couldn't have walked anywhere.Disgusting meat sold at cauponas (taverns). The wine was like vinegar.Your father could have sold you into slavery three times. If you were a woman and lived with your husband for a year, you became his property. If not, you were your father’s property.Candles and lamps give bad light which means after sunset the entertainment was very limited.The night was so dark and dangerous that if you needed to go out you had to go with a slave as company.The emperor Augustus lived in a world of luxury and heated floors and still he suffered the cold and wore the triple of the normal clothes. I'm too used to central heating.Now that I mention the cold: every winter people died from the flu, common cold or pneumonia. Smallpox could be fatal.The insulae (flats) could be six floors high without elevators, 350 square feet (for five people to live there), threatening ruin and with danger of a fire everytime someone cooked.
