Rome's empire declined and fell.
- In A.D. 476 a barbarian king took over the rule of Rome.
- First, there was a long time of turmoil known b y historians as the "crisis of the third century." During these years, the empire was beset by economic, military, and political problems. Second, there was a time of revival, during which the empire was divided into two parts, an eastern half and a western half. Third, the western half of the empire fell to invaders.
Crises weakened the empire.
- Trade was disrupted by barbarian raids and by bands of pirates on Mediterranean sea lanes.
- Trade was disrupted by barbarian raids and by bands of pirates on Mediterranean sea lanes. Rome's gold and silver were drained away to buy luxuries from China, India, and Arabia, including spices, perfumes, rubies, pearls, and silk. Rome's small industries produced only wine, cheese, and glass.
- Desperate to pay its mounting expenses, the Roman government started minting coins that contained less and less silver.
- An increase in prices is called inflation.
Military decay
- Throughout the third century, tribes of northern barbarians called Goths repeatedly overran the legions guarding the Danube frontier.
- Roman soldiers now fought strictly for money, not for patriotism.
- The loyalty of barbarian troops to the empire could hardly be trusted.
Political Decay
- Rome continued to require each tax district to send in a certain amount. If the local tax collector could not gather up that much, he had to pay the difference himself.

Today in class different classmates went over our essays. Elena went over mine. I changed the title, I put two spaces after a period, and I double spaced my report. I think that I did very well on my essay. I revised everything; spelling, format, etc. It should be interesting to see everyone else's essay.

THE ROMAN EMPIRE…AND TO THE REPUBLIC EMPIRE, FOR WHICH IT STANDS…
Octavian – AKA Caesar Augustus
Augustus - the first emperor – getting it done
Begins the Pax Romana – a period of peace and prosperity
Built roads, aqueducts (brought water to the cities)
Set up civil service to take care of roads, the grain supply, even a postal service
Augustus dies at age 76 in A.D. 14, and passes power to…
From Jesus to Christianity
Jesus was a Roman citizen and a practicing Jew
At 30, he began his ministry (A.D. 31 – 33), preaching to the poor (and there were lots of ‘em) in the empire, and reaching out to outsiders
Statements like “My kingdom is not of this world” made the Romans (and the Jews) nervous, and they began to plan his execution
The governor of the Roman province of Judaea, Pontius Pilate (prompted by Jewish high priests), sentences Jesus to death by crucifixion
A Wiki look at Jesus
Jesus the historical figure is explored in his Wikipedia entry
The first four paragraphs are particularly interesting
The word spreads about the risen Jesus
Paul is instrumental in telling the world about Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and message
He travels far and wide: Cyprus, Anatolia, Athens, Corinth, Macedonia, Rome, Jerusalem, and maybe even Spain and Britain
He writes letters to many of those he spoke to – these epistles are a part of the New Testament
If not for the efforts of Paul, it is likely that Jesus remains an obscure preacher, instead of the central figure of the world’s largest religion

St. Paul of Tarsus
Tiberius
As Augustus’ stepson and adopted son, Tiberius succeeded Octavian
Although a great general, he was a dark, somber, reclusive, and reluctant emperor
He referred to the Senate as “men fit to be slaves”
Germanicus started out as Tiberius’ ally, since he quelled a legion mutiny, but when it looked like he would succeed Tiberius, he got paranoid and had Germanicus killed
Died in AD 37 at the age of 77, giving way to...
Caligula – good start…
In addition to being Germanicus’ son, he was Tiberius’ adopted grandson and great-nephew – putting him next in line for emperor
He started off well: granting bonuses to those in the military, declaring treason trials a thing of the past, and made government spending a matter of public record
All in all, the first seven months of Caligula’s reign were “completely blissful” (according to the historian Philo)… then…
…bad finish for Caligula
He began to fight with the Senate
He claimed to be a god, and had statues displayed in many places – including the Jewish temple in Jerusalem (sacrilege!)
Other examples of cruelty and insanity: he slept with other men’s wives and bragged about it, indulged in too much spending and sex, and even tried to make his horse a consul and a priest (at least that’s what his critics said)
Assassinated by his own aides, AD 41 (aged 28)
Next in line: Claudius
Ostracized by his family because of his disabilities (limp, slight deafness, possible speech impediment – thought to be cerebral palsy or polio), he was the last adult male in his family when Caligula was killed
He rose to the occasion: he conquered Britain; he built roads, canals, and aqueducts; he renovated the Circus Maximus
Had an awful marriage to Messalina, who was quite often unfaithful to him, even plotting to seize power for her lover Silius through a coup – so Claudius had them killed
Meanwhile – religious troubles
Christianity and Judaism: monotheistic
Romans had many gods, plus at times the emperor was viewed as a god
AD 66: a group of Jews called the Zealots tried to rebel, but Roman troops put them down and burned their temple (except for one wall)
The Western Wall today is the holiest of all Jewish shrines
Half a million Jews died in the rebellion
Persecution of Christians
Romans were harsh toward those who would not worship the emperor
Especially Christians, who were viewed as followers of a new, upstart religion (cult)
Often used for “entertainment” purposes in the Colosseum (thrown to the lions, etc.)
Despite the oppression, Christianity grew quickly – by AD 200, around 10 percent of the people in the Roman empire were Christians

Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River. He walked between villages taking his messages to Judaea.
People threatened to throw Jesus over the edge of a cliff.
Jesus had an outburst.
Jesus was arrested. The Roman Government, Pontius Pilot, it was obvious that the punishment the so called crime was crucifixion.
The decision to execute Jesus, would one day launch a wide spread Religion.
Pontius Pilot was ordered home in disgrace after crucifying Jesus.
Dinner was an affair; upperclassman sat on couches and was served by slaves.
Caligula would now become the Emperor of Rome.
Caligula lived up to expectations at first, but two years into his rule, he led an army north to Brittan. Than he ordered the people to collect sea shells while they were on a military expedition to invade Brittan.
Caligula had been ill the previous year. He might have suffered from bipolar behavior. People today don’t know if it was a disease that ran in the family or an illness.
They offered up a sacrifice to the gods. Caligula smashes the mallet on the head of the high priest instead of on the head of the animal.
Caligula would openly seduce his army’s wives at dinner parties and discussed their sexual performances at dessert.
A hereditary system was used.
Caligula brought Rome elite to its knees.
When Augustus gave out money and food the Jews received just as much as everyone else, but when Caligula did this and came into power the gifts were far from even.
Caligula was past caring.
When they entered Caligula’s presence they knew they were doomed. So they got on their knees and praised Caligula.
Ms. Alena had a lover that was a nobleman.
Guards were rushed to the lover of Ms. Alena’s lover and ordered to kill her and her mother.
When the officers arrived she was laying on the ground with her mother.
The doors gave way to the attack and the fatal blow blew. She was dead.

The movie continued on May 12th, 2011
The emperor sought council outside of their ranks.
Tiberius is now the leader of the Roman Empire.
Caligula "Bootsy" has his two older brothers in prison.
The time turned into a time of corruption and greed. People started to perform slavish acts.
Tiberius could not stop the purge.
In the year 26, Tiberius has turned his back on Rome and went to the island of Capri. He sought re leaf in astronomy. He created sex tribes. He decorated the rooms with Egyptian pornography.
In this system with Tiberius being able to do anything he wants, he can engage in this sick behavior and it is completely wrong with the Emperor being in charge and untouchable.
Some people think that Tiberius behavior was a result from led poisoning.
Caligula was his only surviving error.
Than the movie goes on and talks about Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. It does this because Augustus died and Tiberius started to rule right around Jesus' time in the First century.

Today in class we took a 10 point quiz and I got a 6 on it. I am not happy with that at all. I don't think I was prepared for the quiz what so ever. I need to review the information more and read the text much more carefully than I did yesterday in class.
Than we took these notes:
Tarquin - The last Roman monarch (king)
In a democracy you vote directly on everything that is going to happen, such as in Ancient Greece.
In a republic you vote on a leader to make the decisions for us, such as in Ancient Rome.
After we went over the notes above, we went over vocabulary that we had to define yesterday in class from the text book.
The discussion helped me to have a better understanding of the vocabulary.

Today in class we took our test. I thought that it was challenging, yet fair. I definitely think that I passed. I enjoyed studying about Greece. I found it very interesting. Later down my high school career I would like to expand my knowledge on Ancient Greece. I don't find things interesting very easily so I liked that we studied Greece. Between all the things that we have studied in Human Geo and Western Civilization I have found Greece the most entertaining. We missed you in class today ! It was boring. The sub was pretty nice, he was kinda boring but nice. For Easter I went out with my brother for lunch and than I went to dinner with my family .I had a really nice Easter break. It was nice and relaxing. Today I got my whole entire room cleaned, so that was an accomplishment ! I hope your Easter Break went well Mr. Schick !

Alexander comes along when Athens is not as popular as they used to be. Alexander was taught by Aristotle that Greek's were
His mother was Olympus and his father was Phillip II. They did not have a great relationship. Alexander did not have a good relationship with his father and his father did not have one with his mother.
The family was so screwed up that Olympus t one point told Alex that Phillip was not his father and he was a son of a god. So he is constantly out to prove himself.
Alexander never looses a battle and was very strong willed.
Alexander had used Bucephelus in every battle up until the battle that Bucephelus was killed in, so than he named a city after him.

The Greeks Crucible of Civilization
Socrates
If you were an ancient female citizen you would see all the flaws of Socrates. He isn't attractive, but he is brilliant. He was put to death because of his ideas, he was making people think. He cared nothing for appearance are any of the other conventions of his day, he was only interested in the mind. He wanted to start a revolution in thinking all across the Greek world. The worlds first astronomers had gathered their views on astronomy, such as the movement of the stars, which they said the gods moved. They took to gods out of the heaven and replaced them with reason. Gradually the Greeks started to say, these are not persons, these are things. These Greeks began to calculate the movement of the Earth and the moon. It was the birth of science. Thales was the first great Greek scientist. He was the first man to measure the height of the Greek pyramid. The Greeks were making all these breakthroughs, learning that they can use science, mathematics, etc. Socrates was not interested in the stars and the heavens, he wanted to study people using reason and logic. He turned his back to the world of nature, he wanted to study the people. Socrates spent his days wandering the streets of Athens talking to people and studying them. He loves the city. His life was spent questioning the assumptions the fellow people of Athens asked about their life. Socrates told someone at a dinner party that he was more beautiful than this other man. A fight broke out. Socrates says you must make every decision on what you know is right, rather than no. Socrates says let no day pass without discussing an unexamined life is not worth living. He wants to make a point in the world. He want people to talk about reason.
The Athenians lost the Peloponnesian War and Pericles was dead. The Athenians went to Socrates. For over 50 years Socrates had been questioning the ways of Athenian life. He changed the life of Athens. After they lost the war, he was arrested. The Athenians would now put to trial the one man that questioned the way they lived their lives. Socrates trial would be held in Athens central market place .He would be charged by a series of general citizens that had been chose. He would only be given a little time to defend him himself. He was timed by a water clock. He showed no fear to the face of his accuser's. He was stubborn, he said he would never cease to settle. It is not an approach designed to win sympathy. He is doing what he thinks is the right thing to do, he thinks the life he had chosen, which was thinking for yourself, was the best life to choose. If he simply apologized to the court, but instead he told the Jorey that he deserves free dinners. The court found Socrates guilty, with the penalty of death. He was taken to the court to Athens prison, the sight of the prison still exist, we can still trace the layout of the cell where Socrates was most likely hidden. He would be executed by drinking Hemlock. Some of the cups used for the Hemlock still exist. It was extremely painful. Socrates treated the affair as if it was nothing at all. He washed himself with the poison before he drank it. Socrates friends were more upset and broke down when the poison was poured. But Socrates to stop. He was dying on his bed, his friends watched in silence. Socrates, in his life and in his death becomes a hero. From now on a hero of conviction.
Greek decided to build a empire, in the depths of defeat. The need to be critical and self critical is the message Socrates left behind. He wanted the people to mature. Athens was never the great amount of power it was before but it was never not, it was in the middle.
