  1. Very Interesting! However, there are some typos, and the overall product could be a bit more organized. Try having a specific section for sources, rather than having them scattered about. Also, an image or two would help.

  2. roman dressing is very different from what we are used to. the only time we wear things that the romans wore is when people have toga parties! I wish people still dressed like that present day because it was cool looking. I can tell you put in a lot of research.
