ROME
  • Roman empire started with Julius Caesar
  • by year 14, Greece, Spain northern Africa, Syria all became Rome
  • Mediterranean was theirs 
  • Augustus power was taken over after his death by his stepson, Tiberius
  • Germanicus was to settle armies, became leader
  • His son was named Bootsie, (Calligula) 
  • Tiberius was accused of killing Germanicus
  • Augustus died around 14 BC 
Today in class we watched more of the video!
Tiberius in Government:

3 brothers were killed by being dragged around, starvation and committing suicide

Jesus- outraged, turned tables, free'd doves at the temple.
arrested for political subversion - crucified (which took 3 hrs)

Roman perspective of crucifix: getting rid of a rebel-rouser, keeping peace within the roman empire
Followers perspective of crucifix: Jesus was now their hero, dieing for what he believed in

Crucifix: main reason was because of how Public it was, it was horribly painful and sent a warning message to any rebels

Caligula in Government at 25 years old: - Emperor

2 years into role, he led an army north to invade Britain
- ordered all soldiers to collect sea shells
- went to kill an animal for sacrifice to god's but killed a priest instead

Eventually he was killed by his own aids, whom thought he was mentally insane

Claudious - @ infancy was disfigured for the rest of his life
In year 41 AD, he was heir to "emporercy"

Claudius in government:

**Suddenly an Emperor after everyone made fun of him,
instead of being cold-hearted because everyone made fun of him, he was extremely modest
-Increased womens privileges
-Apologized to patrons

took rule in Britain
