the upheaval of the early middle ages ended not in a collapse of civilization but in its renewal and the first two early medieval centuries set the patterns for how this renewal would later take place in western and eastern Europe. the two centuries after the fall of Rome were a time of turmoil in  Europe that would continue for five hundred years a half millennium that counts as the early a part of the middle ages.
the baptism of Clovis and ivory plaque made about ad 900 depicts the founding event of the kingdom of franks four centuries earlier.

That's it for the Roman Empire (AD 476)

the greatest change of among the peoples of the empire during the era of roman peace was the spread Christianity.
Christianity was a monotheistic religion
started in Judaism
Christianity developed away from Judaism and established their own church
the empire helped bring changes to peoples living out side as well as inside its boarders
and militarily stronger as a result of living as Romes neighbors during the era of roman peace

Today we took a test and for the first time in a long time I think I did OK on it. I knew most of them there was a few that I had no idea but I think I made a good educated guess on them. Even if I did get the few i did not know wrong it will be OK because I do not think there was that many of them I did not know.

where did the first indo - Europeans settle around 750 BC?    on the shores of the Tiber river
ceasaur was the first emperor he moved Rome in to the period of peace and prosperity
died in 76 14 ad and passes power to Tiberius
caligula Tiberius is grandnephew
next in line for the throne
made public record let people speak freely
then he starts to fight the senate
he claims he is god
he had statues displayed in many places including the Jewish temple in Jerusalem
he slept with other men's wives and bragged about it. indulged in too much spending and sex, and even tried to make his horse and consul and priest ( at least that's what his critics said)
assassinated by his own aides AD 41 (age 28)
Claudius was ostracized by his family because of his disabilities he was the last adult male in his family when Caligula was killed
he rose to the occasion he conquered Britain he built roads, canals, and aqueducts; he renovated the  Circus Maximus
had an awful marriage to Messalina, who was quite often unfaithful to him, even plotting to seize power for her lover Silius through a coup - so Claudius had them killed
religious trouble Christianity and Judaism: monotheistic
Romans had many gods plus at times the emperor was viewed as god
AD 66: a group of Jews called a Zealots tried to rebel, but Roman troops put them down and burned their temple (except for one wall)
the western wall today is the holiest of all Jewish shrines
half million Jews died in the rebellion
Romans were harsh toward those who would not worship the emperor
Especially Christians, who were viewed as followers of a new, upstart religion
often used for entertainment purposes in the Colosseum
despite the oppression Christianity grew quickly by AD 200 around 10% of the people in the Romans empire were Christians

Princeps first citizen a traditional roman name for prominent leaders

The era of the Roman Peace was one of massive social religious and cultural changes that would form a new pattern of western civilization

Augustus’s new system of government kept many features of roman republic allowed subject peoples a good idea of self-rule and brought Rome’s destabilizing expansion to a halt. The result was two hundred years of stability that modern scholars call the Roman Peace

Hadrian’s Wall constructed at the order of the emperor Hadrian between A.D 122 and 128 this frontier wall was originally 10 feet or more high. It ran seventy miles across the island of Britain

Caesar became dictator for life in 44 B.C

A crowd of senators struck him down with their daggers

The main assassins where Brutus and Cassius and Caesar’s grandnephew and his own adopted son

The Roman Empire got divided to Octavian who got Rome Lepidus who got North Africa and Mark Antony in Alexandria

Their cooperation did not last they went to war in 31 B.C and it ended up that Octavian got all the power and became the Supreme Warlord

Soon after Octavian’s triumph at Actium, the senate conferred on him a new title, Augustus (Revered One)

At the time Augustus did his best to make it seem as if no such historic change was underway. Again he proclaimed the goal of restoring the Republic and set about consolidating his supreme rule as much as possible within the traditional government and political framework

By arrangement with the Senate in 27 B.C Augustus was confirmed as commander in chief of the armed forces which included civil and military control of all provinces with garrisons

29-19 B.C Virgil composes the Aeneid

27 B.C end of Roman Republic and beginning of rule of Roman Emperors

A.D 14 Augustus dies and Tiberius takes over without challenge

A.D 62-70 Jewish revolt against Rome

A.D 117 Under Emperor Trajan the Roman Empire reaches its greatest extent

A.D 126 Pantheon built in Rome

A.D 212 all free inhabitants of the Roman Empire are declared Roman citizens

A.D 529 Justinian’s law code begins to be published systematizing the laws of Rome

Marcus Caelius, First Centurion this senior officer served for thirty years in Augustus’s reformed army before perishing in the German rebellion of A.D 9 his body was not found but inscription on his monument built by his brother says hopefully his bones may be interred her he holds his centurion’s baton and wears his many battle honors. Also commemorated are his two freemen who died with him. Evidently his bond with them are close.

Today we watched a short video and i don't have much to say about it. It did make the emperor look a little crazy and i see why Rome is starting to fall they are running out of money.

after he was killed people tried to grab his power
one person was his grand nephew
his name was Octavian
at this time the republic changed to an empire run by emperors
Octavian ends up becoming Caesar Augustus he was and honorific
a phrase to honor you
august means to be reverie or to be the honored one
known to be the first emperor began the time of peace and prosperity Pax Romana
built a lot of roads and aqueducts
set up civil service to take care of roads the grain supply even a postal service
Augustus dies at age 76 in A.D 14 and he took power at 18 and passed power to Tiberius
Jesus was a roman citizen and practicing Jew
at 30 he began his ministry preaching to the poor in the empire and reaching our to outsiders
statements like my kingdom is not of this world made the Romans nervous and they began to plan his execution
the governor of the roman province of Judea pontius plate sentences Jesus to death by crucifixion
Paul is instrumental in telling the world about Jesus life death resurrection and message
he travels far and wide
he writes letters to many of those he spoke to these epistles are a part of the new testament
if not for the efforts of pail it is likely that Jesus remains an obscure preacher, instead of the central figure of the worlds largest religion.
top most influential persons in history

today in class we did not do much so my blog is going to be shot. all we did today was review the words. we did not finish the cards.other then that we did not do much

 

                              Today in class we watched part two of the video. I liked it more than part one but I still thought it was a little boring. During the video I was taking notes on the video. Other than that we did not do anything after the video I starting righting my blog and that is all I have done.

Today we presented our project. I think we did ok. We could of probably done better. But we had very little time to work on it together. We only where able to work together for 45 min total. And to be honest Dominic did most of the work on it. Also he did most of the presenting. We did not find much information on it and I think we should of. I don’t think we did terrible but I don’t think we did great.

Today in class we presented our project.every one but us. We did not get to because we where having problems emailing the PowerPoint.so far nothing on this project has tome as planed. First we try and use movie maker and I don't have it on my computer so then we do it on my partners compute. And that did not work. So we downloaded another app like movie maker and that did not work. So we did a power point finally something that works. We finish the project  and now we can't email it. Over all these computers are just not working well.

today in class we did not do much we just individually finished watching the movie. I thought It was an ok video. it was interesting enough but there where some parts that it got a little slow and boring. after I finished watching the video I finished filling out the notes paper. then when I was done that I just worked on my blog that that's about all I have done this class.

Today in class I did not learn much instead I fought with my computer to get it to work. I could not get our computer to work so now we are having problems making this video thing.  We tried downloading another movie maker app and it did not work wither. So now we are doing a slide show. I will not be as good but you have to work with what you have.

I will not be as good but you have to work with what you have.

Today in class we continued to watch the video. It is a very interesting video. But I don’t like the paper that we got with the video. It is very hard to wright things down when you can’t see the words on the paper. I think I would just be better to wright out own notes like in our book. If we did that then we would not have to read the questions and it would be easier to learn more because not only are we listening to what the video is saying we are righting what they are saying

3500 bc some are organized enough to construct to megaliths massive rough - cut Stonehenge each stacked and circled and aligned to the movement of the sun and moon

from 2500 bc indo European nomads migrate from the steppes in eastern Europe language would evolve into Greek and Latin
their loves centered around strength and courage comradeships and loyalty contest and battle

thinner populations that Egypt or Mesopotamia they formed tribe social and political unit consisting of communities held together by common interests traditions and real or mythical ties of kinship

tribes were hedged by powerful hereditary chieftains, thought of as kings
this is how Europe cam to be populated by speakers of indo European
languages who were skilled in farming metalworking trade and warfare
no cities no written records no fixed structures of government
they were barbarians
they adopted the way of life of those they encountered and as they travels
thus is how civilization eventually spread thought Europe
the distinctive civilization the Greeks developed is the first that counts as definitely western

3/4 mountain covered
1,400 islands in the Aegean and Ionian seas
location shaped its culture
became skilled sailors
poor natural resources
difficult to unite the ancient Greeks because of the terrain; developed small independent communities
only 20% is suitable for farming
fertile valleys cove 1/4 of the peninsula
because of the geo the Greek diet consists of grains grapes olives
lack of resources most likely led to Greek colonization
tem ranges from 48 in the winter to 80 in the summer

Greeks began as barbarians they began to migrate about 2000 bc to Asia and Egypt

Barbarians a term used to describe a way of life

3500bc megalithic structures constructed

2500bc nomads from steppes migrate into Europe

2200bc Minoan civilization takes root

 The Egyptians came up with many great inventions. They came up with some major inventions that we still use today like the sail. They also came up with a irrigation system. And the most important thing they made was a written language. The pyramids did many things for the ancient people. They where built for the pharaoh. They were massive tombs for when they died. The shape of them had significance it was to point the pharaoh's spirit to the heavens. The pyramids used to be covers in marble but overtime it has been stolen.

 

                               

Social hierarchy was very important to ancient Egyptians. It meant everything to them. At the very top of the hierarchy was the pharaoh. He was considered to be a god. There was very few woman pharaohs in ancient Egyptian history. Right below the pharaoh was the noble’s government officials and the priest. At this time priest and government officials where the same thing. The nobles where just people with a lot of money they did not do much other than that. After the priest and nobles are the soldiers. The soldiers are divided into two groups the chariot riders and the ground people. The people on the chariots are higher up then the people on the ground. After the solders on the hierarchy is the scribes. The scribes are the people that wrote things down. They would write down things like taxes and about historical things. After the scribes on the list where the merchants. They were people that would trade goods. They would make things or go to distant places and get things there and bring them back to sell. The group that is next are artisans these are the people that are artistic. These people create for a living they could be painters or they could be people that make clothing.  They make things and they would sell them to the merchants. Next are the farmers. Their name is self-explanatory. They are the people that will grow crops or they could raise animals. And the very bottom group is the slaves and servants. This group surprised me because they were not treated as bad as I thought they would have been. In America we treated our slaves ten times worst then they treated there slaves. I’m not saying that slavery is bad it is very bad but it was surprised I would have thought that Egypt would have treated them worst.

If there was no Nile there would not have been an Egypt. Everything there is based around the Nile. Even modern day Egypt is based around the Nile. The ancient Egyptians would use if for their crops mainly. They made a system to water there crops. Without water you cannot grow so that is why life flourished there. Another thing they used the Nile was for transportation. Because they had the Nile that is why they made the sail boat. So they could use the Nile for transportation. They would follow the river north. Then they would use their sails to catch the wind. And with wind power they would travel down the stream. Another thing they used the river for is the soil. The river would flood and leave behind soil. And this soil is some of the most fertile soil in the world. Without the Nile there would be no life there at all.

Today in class we talked about ancient Egypt more. We talked about the hierarchy in ancient Egypt. It was very interesting that the slaves were not treated that bad. I would have thought that they would have treated there slaves worst than anyone else. I would have never of guessed that we in America treated our slaves worse than the ones in Egypt. Also I thought it was interesting that the religious men and the people in government where the same rank

Yesterday we learned about ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt is one of my favorite times to Lear about. They are very interesting because I like to learn about there culture. I also like learning about how advance their civilization was. My favorite thing to learn about though is about the pharaohs about all the rituals that they have to do. I love to learn about the mummification process and about the pyramids
