http://www.vroma.org/images/mcmanus_images/caesar1.jpg
Caesar was born July 13, 100 B.C. and died on the Ides of March in 44 B.C. During these 56 years Caesar accomplished more personally than most and brought more changes to Rome than any Roman before him. In 84 B.C. he was first married. When he was 25, he was captured by pirates. Ten years later he became aedile and two years after that he became pontifex maximus, an honor usually reserved for men much older. When he was 40 he became consul and formed the triumvirate. A year before he was assassinated, he was made dictator for life.

http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/Homework/roman.jpg
Most roman people lived in a few rooms of an overcrowded apartment that was up to 5 stories high.
Rich people had very different houses. In the center of the house was the atrium, which had no roof, a pool of rainwater and the household shrine. At the back of the house was a garden and courtyard area called the peristyle. If you walked into another Roman house you will be able to tell the wealth of the family by the interior design. Mainly the houses were built for symbolic and spiritual purposes.
