Oh, my!

We throw our dirty clothes into our washers.

We have electric lights.

Romans went to a Forum to meet friends, conduct business, and shop.
We go to a mall.

Romans spoke Latin.
Today, nobody speaks Latin although some people can read it.

Most modern people believe in only one God.

We bathe in the privacy of our own homes.
