Roman Slots - Rome the Golden Age

I played "Rome The Golden Age" slots on Borgata online casino. The game logo features the laurel wreath crown. In ancient Greece and Rome the laurel wreaths were worn around the head as signs of victory in pursuits of sports, music and poetry. In Rome in was also worn as a sign of victory in battle. Many Roman emperors have been depicted wearing crowns, which was common but not for every day wear. The term to rest on one's laurels comes from this crown, it means to be happy with a previous success but making no effort for continued success. We see two large marble statues which were common decorations for gardens and baths. Marble had the ability to take finely carved detail. At the height of the Roman Empire it was transported from quarries though out the Mediterranean. 

The tiger is a favorite animal of Circus Maximus and the Colosseum. Tigers were hunted in Asia and transported to Rome. The tigers would then be part of a staged hunt, called venationes. Some would be used for public shows to kill convicted criminals. In the later years of the Roman Empire gladiators did fight tigers and other wild animals. Wild animals were also starved and forced to fight each other for entertainment.

The eagle with the letters SPQR was the symbol of the Roman senate. SPQR stands for Senatus Populus Que Romanus. Which translates to "The Senate and People of Rome." This was a sense of pride for Romans, and represented their freedom. The Romans believed that all power came from the people, even though the Emperors did have the final say. Roman coins used this symbol from 1184 through 1517 but has been found in inscriptions as early as 80 BC.
