Review day for the test on Rome

Today in class we reviewed for the test. We first went over everything about the Emperors, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. And the we went over the settlement of Rome, the Etruscans, and the two foundation myths. And  next we went over the people affair, stuff like republic, comparing The US government to the Rome government, and what the three branches of the governments are. And then we did the Roman Legions, formed with 5000 soldiers, with centuries of 80, and calvary. Next we went on to the Punic War and what different things happened during the three different stages.And then we moved on to the patricians and the plebs, how the patrician steal away their land and made them to be their slaves. The patricians give the plebs free grain and provide them cruel entertainment just to keep their mouths shut. then we talked about Julius Caesar, what he did and what was important about this person, and also his horrible death. And finally we looked at Octavian, also known as Caesar Augustus, what he did and all about his Pax Romana.
