Today we didnt really do anything and we were at the cafeteria for half of the class because i think Mr. Schick had something to do in his room i guess.

The Roman Empire

• When he dies the power goes to Octavian
• That’s when it changes from republic to empire
• Octavian eventually became known as Caesar Augustus
• He is the first full on emperor
• His rule is known as that pax romana - a period of peace and prosperity
• They built roads, they had bricks that fit together so that they wouldn't wash away with the rain
• They also built aqueducts
• Easier for people to get around
• Got the roman legion to move quickly form one place to another
• 1/3 of the people in Rome were slaves
• He set up government to fix things like a road service
• Set up the first postal service
• He died around 14 A.D.
• Jesus was a roman citizen
• He begins his ministry at 30 years old
• Mainly the only people that mention Jesus was the gospels
• All the other things were low key
• He wasn't popular before he died
• Statements like "my kingdom is not of this world" make the Romans nervous and the began to plan his execution
• No one knows what happened with Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30
• Romans and Jews look at him as a threat

Presentations pt1

Today we did some presentations and it was kinda cool seeing all the projects. i really liked Austin's project and Hana's cookies were pretty good but there were seed everywhere. i know that wasnt her fault but besides that, they were pretty good. they kinda tasted like those butter ball cookie things.
