What I learned about from the video about the culture of Rome

The Romans kept the Jews as slaves. In the movie, Ben-Hur treat his slave like servants, it may be because Ben-Hur was like a slave himself. The Roman military wore long red capes behind them. I think that the colored feather that was glued to the helm shows how high ranked the person is. Like Ben-Hur's Roman general friend (I don't remember his name) his helm had big fluffy red feather on his helm when the other soldiers had kind of like spiky cut-short style of red sticks? on their head. I thought I also saw that the body plates and the helm was decorated. The materials they used to make those things, I think they are gold, silver and steel.
The part where we stopped watching. When a general or some high ranked guy went on the galley where Ben-Hur was on, I think that was one part of Slavery culture in Ancient Rome. I also think that the Romans were very technologically advanced in more ways because they had fought more battles than most of the countries near by. The galleys they make looks plain on outside but I think it is terrible being at the lowest part of the boat. First one could drown with the boat with the galley was hit by whatever thing, second you could be killed at any moment, third they don't care if one grows sick and die because they can just replace one with another man who has been condemn to death. They also had a guy with two hammer down there also. I think he gives orders on how to row the boat. They had developed some kind of system that tells them when to go fast and slow.
