Cicero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 14 views

shared by Andy Rosario on 02 Oct 09 - Cached
  • Cicero was born in 106 BC in Arpinum, a hill town 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of Rome. So, although a great master of Latin rhetoric and composition, Cicero was not "Roman" in the traditional sense, and was quite self-conscious of this for his entire life.

         can you Imagen being born not as a Roman but a barbarian and then becoming a emperor. For him I gets his life was perfect. being born in a town 100kilometers south of Rome. Don't forget he was a great master of Latin rhetoric that is how lucky he is.     
  • During this period in Roman history, if one was to be considered "cultured", it was necessary to be able to speak both Latin and Greek.
    • Andy Rosario
       
        it must have been grade that he knows Greek and Latin. since he would need it in order to be consider a "culture". If he didn't knew this language than who know what would happen. This is why he is also known.

          Even as a young boy he would study a lot. Not like the other kid that would rater play than learn. And this painting shows what he enjoy. To learn in order to become fames.

Nicene Creed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 8 views

  • There are several designations for the two forms of the Nicene creed, some with overlapping meanings:
    • Andy Rosario
       
         why would there be two forms of Nicene creed? why can there only be one? All I know that the Nicene creed is a type of law. And that for people it was a pit confusing.

Constantine I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 29 views

  • As the emperor who empowered Christianity throughout the Roman Empire and moved the Roman capital to the banks of the Bosphorus, Constantine was a ruler of major historical importance, but he has always been a controversial figure.[
    • Andy Rosario
       
      Was Constantine really that grade? Why did Constantine became a Cristian in the fist place? I would want to know what would happen if he did not became a Cristian? All I know is if he was't a Cristian then we as we know it would change.
  • Constantine received a formal education at Diocletian's court, where he learned Latin literature, Greek, and philosophy.

Western Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 11 views

  • The Western Roman Empire was the western half of the Roman Empire, from its division by Diocletian in 285
    • Andy Rosario
       
                wow the roman empire was divided by one man or emperor. The roman empire ones known as the grades empire known to men. I can't believe the roman let that happen to there empire. I don't know what made the roman empire to that, but all i know that ones strong empire never be defeat now weak not united and unable to work together.    
  • As the Roman Republic expanded, it reached a point at which the central government in Rome could not effectively rule the distant provinces.
    • Andy Rosario
       
         Wait I thought the roman empire was rule by an emperor not a governor. Still even if a governor  can't run the city or state in the roman empire I don't think it won't to anything. Evan still cause of that roman empire  is divided into two. Still evan if a gov. coulten take care of his sitesen, it shoulden be dis bad.             
  • Minor rebellions and uprisings were fairly common events throughout the Empire.
    • Andy Rosario
       
      wow a small rebell made theroman empire divid. That rebell must be made offames roman people. Even if so the effec shoulten be that big. that rebell must be a huge deal.

Roman Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 3 views

  • Early in its history, the republic was controlled by an aristocracy of individuals who could trace their ancestry back to the early history of the kingdom. Over time, the laws that allowed these individuals to dominate the government were repealed, and the result was the emergence of a new aristocracy which depended on the structure of society, rather than the law, to maintain its dominance. Thus, only a revolution could overthrow this new aristocracy.
    • Andy Rosario
       
            It is pretty great that the Roman Republic hat a aristocracy that would share the power. They would also trace their ancient ancestor in there earlier in the history of the kingdom .Mostly what I like about it is that they wear free they would never be hold back for any thing.     
  • It was the People of Rome - and thus the assemblies - who had the final say regarding the election of magistrates,[8] the enactment of new laws,[9] the carrying out of capital punishment, the declaration of war and peace, and the creation (or dissolution) of alliances.[8] There were two types of legislative assemblies. The first was the comitia ("committees"),[10] which were assemblies of all citizens. The second was the concilia ("councils"), which were assemblies of specific groups of citizens.[11]
    • Andy Rosario
       
      oh! so they would have two Legislative so they can talk abaut the throubel with the Roman people.Mostly they woult have assemblies that any people can go.this woult be to talk abaut new laws,new ways to torcher people and other things.Then in the end I firgher out that there are two type of legislative wish are comitia and concilia.
  • The assembly of the tribes, the Comitia Tributa, was presided over by a consul,[12] and was composed of thirty-five tribes. The tribes were not ethnic or kinship groups, but rather geographical subdivisions.[15] The order that the thirty-five tribes would vote in was selected randomly by lot.[16] Once a measure received support from a majority of the tribes, the voting would end. While it did not pass many laws, the Comitia Tributa did elect quaestors, curule aediles, and military tribunes.
    • Andy Rosario
       
      I don't get it why were there tribes assembly and what it is for.Also why are they using randomto pick there thirty-fyve tribe .If it were me like the person who pick the tribe than I woult pick it by the loyalty,respect,onasty,and trusth than random.All to still I whant to know how this tribes woult work.
