The economic system of ancient Rome was centered around agriculture and raising livestock. It can be described as a basic or fundamental economic system that was common place among ancient civilizations.
The Romans kept farm animals for dairy products, eggs and meat. They also kept animals as pets. Dogs were common and the favourite pets. Many kinds of birds were pets including pigeons, ducks, quail, and geese. Cats started to become pets around 1 century AD. Monkeys were also pets, but they were rare.
The Romans loved hunting. The tradition of killing animals for pleasure has a long history in Europe and Asia. Slaughtering animals was considered a form of entertainment, and people scoured the countryside for bears, Lions, stags and boars to pursue with spears and dogs. As the Roman Empire grew to encompass the entire Mediterranean basin, its citizens travelled throughout the region to hunt and bring back animals to be killed in Animal Hunt entertainments.
In the city of Rome animal hunts were held at the Colosseum, where they were part of the gladiatorial games, the Circus Maximus, where they were part of the ludi circensi (games which involved chariot races) the Roman Forum and the Saepta (a huge public building in the north of the city).At the inauguration of the Colosseum large animal hunts were staged and 5,000 animals were slaughtered A further 3,000 were killed over the next two days. The emperor Trajan celebrated his victory in the Dacian Wars using a reported 10,000 gladiators and 11,000 animals over 123 days. Most of the animals involved were ferocious, but not all of them. They included lions, bears, elephants, , deer, wild goats, dogs, and rabbits.
The Romans decimated the Atlas Bear, the only bears in Africa who lived in North Africa. The breed is named after the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, which became it last refuge. Much of their forest habitat was cut down. Thousands of these bears were bear and killed thousands for sport or take away for animal hunts.
Lions, used to live in Italy and Greece. They were killed to extinction. Then attention tuned to the Barbary Lions of North Africa. The males of this breed were among the largest around and they were known for their enormous mane. They, too, were slaughtered for sport or taken away for animal hunts. They, too, found their last refuge on the Atlas Mountains.
