It was fun learning about the jews. I learned about the manorah and other things. If you were a girl you would have a batmitzvah and if you were a boy you'd have a barmitzvah. Rome could learn holidays from these people.

Pliny's father died at an early age when his son was still yo ung; as a result, Pliny probably lived with his mother.
-
I can't believe Pliny actually taught his son Pliny the younger. It would be kinda cool to have your uncle to teach you. But then again you coulldn't act up without getting seriously yelled at. Why didn't he just get his son a regular tutor or teacher?
-
Pliny must have been pretty educated if he started writing at the age of fourteen. I'm almost fourteen and I don't write nearly as good as him. I don't get it when they say many are reigning emperors. Did he write about the different emperors of Rome?
-
Its not a surprise to me that pliny died young. Mostly because he is a male. Most Roman males only lived to about 29 and women 31. this was probably the reason he died because of his aqe
Hadrian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 23 views

Hadrian did not at first go to Rome — he was busy sorting out the East and suppressing the Jewish revolt that had broken out under Trajan, then moving on to sort out the Danube frontier

Hadrian quickly secured the support of the legions — one potential opponent,

trajan and hadrian are very alike in a way because of their personal ways. they both loved to have statues of themselves. its funny how concieded they were. they had like 20 foot high statues of eachother.

It's cool how Hadrian built the first mall. Imagining the Romans shopping is weird but cool at the same time. Doing this proved that they were civilized back then. I guess we did adopt habits and other things from the Romans.
-
Hadrian obviously didn't play around when it came to him having power. I think he was a little over protective of his power and how he ran it. He didn't even permit people to talk bad about him without them being executed.

After prompting from his mother, Vespasian followed his older brother, also called Titus Flavius Sabinus, into public life

itz unbelievable that vesasian beat the jews. nobody else was able to that. he must be one of the strongest and skilled general. i believe he can beat anyone.
-
Its almost as if it was Vespasians brother titus who made him popular. Before Titus he would've never became an emperor. Vespasian followed in his footsteps to become what he did. Im surprised Titus didn't get jealous of Vespasians fame.
Seneca the Younger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 6 views
-
Rome was lucky that Seneca was there to advise Nero or else they'd be dead. For example, Seneca taught him to have mercy for others. After that, Nero was a little nicer but got worse later. It was better than letting him rule in the begining badly and with NO mercy at all.
Julius Caesar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 9 views

i can't believe caesar dies. i was expecting him to live in the movie too. i think instead of killing him they should've approached him and talked to him about his behavior. the senate took it too far and if anybody were to find out who knows what would happen. there would probably be no senate at all.
Cleopatra VII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 21 views
-
As pharaoh, she consummated a liaison with Gaius Julius Caesar that solidified her grip on the throne.
-
If cleopatra was with ptolemy, then wouldn't that make her the daughter of ptolemy? or if she were the cousin then she would be a neice of her "mother". i dont really get what their saying in this paragraph of accession to the throne.
-
It amazes me how she just takes her steps as queen with no fear. she really doesnt care what people think of her or say. either way itz going to happen the way she wants it to. she pretty much owns anybody. even caesar.

Julia's death during childbirth and Crassus's ignominious defeat
-
I think Pompei and Julia look wonderful together. They truly love eachother in every way. I can understand why Caesar would be a little worried for her. I wouldbe worried about my teenage daughter going out with a 52 year old too. But back then it wasn't as big of a deal for young women to marry older men
-
what i'd like to know is how julia died while giving birth to pompei's child. was she sick or something? they really should fill us in because i'd like to know. i feel bad for pompei though because he didn't even get to see his child since it died with julia.
-
i felt bad when julia lost her baby but i want to know something. how did she loose the baby during birth. they didnt explain anything about it.im very curious. i thought she caught some kind of sickness or disease of some sort. but i guess nobody will ever know will they?
Roman Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 9 views
-
The senate of the Roman Kingdom held three principle responsibilities: It functioned as the ultimate repository for the executive power,[9] it served as the council to the king, and it functioned as a legislative body in concert with the People of Rome.[10] During the years of the monarchy, the senate's most important function was to elect new kings.
-
The senate continued to exist in Constantinople, however. In the second half of 10th century century a new office poeder was created as a head of the senate by Emperor Nicephorus Phocas. Up to mid-11th century only eunuch could become proeder, but later this restriction was lifted and several proeders could be appointed, of which senior ('protoptoeder') served as the head of senate.
-
There is one thing that I don't quite get. The one thing that I question about the part that I highlighted is why it doesn't say who the king was that accended the throne. Also I'd like to make a comment about Lucius Junius Brutus. If he was the one who tricked Lucius Tarquinius Superbus into being overthrown, why didn't he take over? I would've thought that since Superbus was out of the way that he would take his place.

The senate of the roman kingdom had many responsibilities. The kings of Rome only got a limited amount of time on the throne. This is almost as I said before. They get treated like royalty because of their labels. To us they are just kings but to the people of Rome it's like their life to worship each one until something goes wrong which is why now they don't like kings.
-
the senate was almost like a group of high people who decided what was best for rome. what they did when permission was asked for or a proposal was made is almost vote on it. they didn't necessarily vote on things but they went with the most people on ideas or what was right.
Julius Caesar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 9 views
-
Caesar was born into a patrician family, the gens Julia, which claimed descent from Iulus, son of the legendary Trojan prince Aeneas, supposedly the son of the goddess Venus.[4] The cognomen "Caesar" originated, according to Pliny the Elder, with an ancestor who was born by caesarean section (from the Latin verb to cut, caedere, caes-).[5] The Historia Augusta suggests three alternative explanations: that the first Caesar had a thick head of hair (Latin caesaries); that he had bright grey eyes (Latin oculis caesiis); or that he killed an eleph
