You are going to see a lot of people in Ancient Rome. Some important people may be poets Virgil and Martial. However, while Virgil wrote the epic Aeneid to show Rome's great past, Martial made fun of Rome in his writing very terribly. You might also see Ptolemy who proposed a false theory that Earth was the center of the universe. Another important person you may see is Galen who combined all medical study and wrote a medical encyclopedia that remained a standard text for more than 1,000 years. One more important person you may see is Pliny the Elder who was a scientist that complied volumes on geography, zoology, botany and other topics, taken from other scientists research.
