Universities, Wine Press, Ribbed Vault, Chimneys

   Universities: In early Rome, children had to have tutors or their father had to teach them. When Rome fell, Greek slaves had to teach the children in private school. Later on, the church built universities to train men to study the Bible.

   Wine Press: A wine press smashes grapes. Churches owned wine presses. Churches charged people to use their wine press.

   Ribbed Vault: The Romans invented the ribbed vault to reflect the glory of God and from the description of the church in Revelation. They made ceilings taller and bigger and longer. Ribbed vaults could sometimes be found in churches, cathedrals, and castles.

   Chimneys: A chimney comes out of a roof. When a fire is burning in a fireplace, the smoke goes up the chimney out in the sky. This keeps the smoke out of the house where people can get ill.
