The accomplishments and the other emperors

Octavian was a good emperor and he established a lot of things and his time in charge was the golden time of Rome. After he died, some weird and cruel emperors took place. Tiberius was an excellent generals, but he had no interests in being a emperor. He served okay, meaning he didn't do anything really bad and neither anything really good. He finally resigned to a island and died there. Caligula served after him, he won the power struggle after Tiberius' death. He was extremely cruel, and he wanted everything to be fancy. He spent a lot of money on himself and his senators and the court was trying to assassinate him. Claudius suffered from many infirmities, he was not physically capable but he was a good thinker and he actually did good during his time. He was poisoned to death by his last wife because she wanted her own son to be the emperor. Nero was a weird emperor. He loved art and singing, he didn't want people to treat him as an emperor, instead he wanted to be an singer. He was not a good emperor, he didn't know what to do in emergencies.

Note on Alexander the Great

Today in class we took note on four pages from the book abo ut  Alexander the great and what he did for the Macedonian empire.  His dad Phillip the second was the previous king of Macedonia.

He continued his dad's dream of taking over Persia.He took over Persia and many other city-states around it. But then Alexander then disappeared and no one knew where he was then the city caught on fire and the fire is still unknown today.  (My house was out of power yesterday due to the strong wind so I wasn't able to send it yesterday.
