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

Jesus

Today in class we watched a video about Julius Caesar. We learned about how he is one of the most famous people in all of roman history. The video was about how he took over the Gauls and won a massive battle against them.When the battle was over and all was done he went back home. he tried to persuade people that he would be a great emperor. That is where the video stopped it was a short video.

today in class we took a test. i did not do as well as i thought i would. only got a 72 this one is short because so have a good spring breake

roman legion kinda like the cops or the army they are the protectors.one legion is 5000 solders. at first they did it for no pay later they did start paying and they where not as loyal. but in the beginning they where solders not paying. the legion was divided into centuries about 80 people. people on foot where called the infantry everyone was men.people on horseback is called the Calvary. 3 Punic wars all won by Rome fist one fought over Sicily. second one was Hannibal fighting Rome.  third war was Romans attacked Carthage after Carthage attached Rome. latitudinal a large land that rich people bought from poorer people.
