Hello Timmers,
I am going to teach you about Rome. Rome was a city with both a sea and a river. In the Roman Republic Patricians were wealthy powerful citizens, and Plebians were common, ordinary citizens. The Emporer Caligula tried to make his horsse a senator. He was kind of crazy. Gladiators were people who fought to death in the Colosseum. The Colosseumcould hold 50,000 people. There were three Punic wars against Rome and Carthage. Pompeii was a three day trip from Rome and the city died because of a volcano that they thought was a mountain, Mt. Vesuvius. We had a blog book and one of the topics was gods and goddess and we had to make a chart. Christianity was started by Jesus.
Here ar some Roman numerals for you to try...

5. The Colosseum........ was a very big arena. Gladiators fought their battles indside of tit. It was made up of arches.
6. The Punic Wars....... were fought between Rome and Carthage. There were 3, and sadly for Carthage, Rome won all of them.

Hey Timmers what are you up to? Well I am sure its fun any ways I wanted to teach you a litle about Rome. Sound good? I am going to teach you a little bit of every thing first I will teach you a little bit about the beging of Rome. First, Rome is a city with a major river guess what that river is. It is the Tiber River. Along the Tiber River grapes and olives grow there.Most of the year it is warm and moist.
Now lets talk about the Roman Republic.In the Republic you only had the right to vote and choose leaders.The leaders for the Romans were called repersentives.The repersentives helped by governing the senate.Every year wealthy people called patricians would choose a consul which managed the army and vetoed things.
Next we will talk about the Emperors.Did you know that Emperor Vespian saw the contruction of the colosseum(i will tell you later what the colosseum is)? Constantine was the Emperor who made Christianity equal to al other religions.
Now its gladiator time!Basically the gladiators fought till death.there lots of different gladiators.You could also be a chariteer.It is basically some one in a tipped shoppng cart with a horse pulling trying to kill each other.
Now i will teach you abouthe Colosseum. The Colosseum is where the gladiators fought.
Now the punic war. The Romans fought three was against the Carthage.Imagane fighting in hree wars that would be scary.Once there leader came over the appls with elaphants to try and fight the romans and the Romans didnt come out and fight.
I am almost done talking.But I must talk about Pompeii.Pomeii was built right next to a volcanoe which they thought it was a mountain.One day that volcanoe bursted its top right off killing everyone in Pompeii.
Almost done.next we will talk abou the Circus Maximus. No it is not a circus.The Circus Maximus is an arena like the colosseun.it was fomous for chariot racing. They would use eggs to count how any laps the chariteers road.
Christianity.Jesus would spread christianity around in fact he actually had followers.His followers were calleddisciples.
Now lets see if you can figure out some roman numerals.Try to put 3142 in roman numerals (answers are on the bottom), what is XL in american numbers i know its hard!
1 MMCXLII
2. 60
1.Romes major river is the tiber river.

9.Jesus encouraged people to obey the ten commandments.
10.Here i will give you some letters and you will have to give me the number that matches it, MD,CIX, and MMMIV.

Hey Teach Timmers I am going to teach you about Rome.
1. Rome was found by Romulous and Remous. Rome started in 1600 BC people came to live along the banks of the Tiber River. It was the perfect locaton because t was a long river, near a sea, located within hills protection against attack and floods.
2. Now t is time to teach you about Rome Republic. Roman Republic had two types of people patricians and plebians. Patricians were wealthy and powerful. The Plebians are common and oridinary people. The Rome republic has the right to vote and choose leaders to run the city. At first the republic was run by Patricians but as Rome began to grow the Plebians became in control.
3. Roman Emperores. One of the Roman emperors was Ceaser Augustus. Ceaser inproved the econmony. He created a fire department and police department. Another one is Marcus Aurelius. Marcus lowered taxes, helped the poor , sold own jewls and property to help with famine. Those are some of the fewest emperors of Rome.
4. Now am gong to teach you about Gladiators. A gladiator is a person who would fght in the Colosseum Gladators were slaves, prisionors, criminals, or volunteers. They would fght tll death.
5. Now I am going to teach you about the Colosseum. The Colosseum s a famous arena in Rome wherwe gladiator battles happen. If you thnk about t s ust like a arena that we use for diffrent sports today.
6. The Punic Wars were fought for along time there was 3 Punic Wars fighting over Sicily. There were 3 wars. Both sides were very powerful. Bothhavea great millitary. Te war was between Carthage and Rome. Rome won all 3 wars.
7. The Pompeii was a volcano that eurupted. The final day of Pompeii was on August 24th 79 AD. The darkness that happened was because of the ash from the volcano. Nobody knew it was a volcano they thought it was a mountain. Accumulation of Pumice blcked windows and doorways turning houses into tombs. The last surge killed the remaining people.
8. Now I am going to talk about my blog book. Something in the blog book includes Daly life. Daily life s a ancent clothng compared to todays clothing. Ther clothing was a little diffrent. Some of the same stuff we dd were men wore beards. Women wear hairpieces to make our look longer. Woman wore jewlery. Next is the roads. The Roman's had 5 layers on their roads. such as paving stones, cement mixed with broken tiles, stones, broken stones mixed with cement and sand. I told you about emperors in Rome so I will not tell you about it again. Next s the Pantheon the Pantheon is a building. Next is Circus Maximus it was a Chariot racing thing.
9. Christianity was a new religion that was spreading through Rome. Started by Jesus. The book the followers followed were the Bible. We know about Jesus' life was reading the new testement. People who followed Jesus were disciples. Jesus chose 12 disciples. Jesus incouraged people to love and obye God. Jesus was arrested and sentenced to be crucified to death by being nailed to the cross. Jesus rose from the dead and strengthen the belief that he was the Messiah.
10. The Romans numerals. MMMIV = ?
CMXCIX =?
Hi, Timmers! Let's get straight to the point.
1.Rome begins: There is a story about how two boys were abandoned and got nursed back to health by a she-wolf. Their names were Romulus and Remus. They both wanted to make a succesful city. But, when Romulus' city grew huge whil Remus' was small and wimpy, Remus grew jelous and tried to sneak in to the city. But Romulus soon catches him and gets so mad he kills his brother with an ax. I wouldn't want to make him mad.
2.Roman Republic: Patricians were the wealthy powerful people whil the Plebians were the poor common people. After the Romans drove out the Etruscans they started a Republic. Where citizens had the right to vote and choose leaders. (It's pretty much like the United States of America.) They even had representatives and a Senate. At first only patricians ran the government. But plebians demanded more rights and were having a hard time surviving. The Senate listened to damands and appoint men to protect plebians rights.
3.Emperors of rome:I'm sorry I don't know much about them but I will try to remember. A Emperor is the ruler of the Roman Empire and is a dictator.
4.Gladiator: A gladiator is a person who fought in the coloseum and usaully fought till death.
As you can see I'm just going to start only doing one fact about each topic.
5.Coloseum: The coloseum is a building made out of many arches and is the place where the gladiators fought.
6.Punic wars: THe Punic Wars were when Carthage and Rome fought over Sicily. They fought three wars and Rome always won.
7.Pompeii: Pompeii was a place that got run down by a volcanoe. Nobody survived. :'(
8.Blog book topic: We did alot of things in our blog book including: Daily Life, Roads, Emperors of Rome, Circus Maximus, Roman Mythology, and the conclusion for it. I got Blue so I have to vacuum the ENTIRE house! I don't want to!
9.Chrisitanity: Jesus started this, he tought everyone about god. You can read about his life int the New Testement of the Bible.
10.Roman Numerals: Here are some Roman Numerals for you to find out:
