The groups that either have strong armies, or any other advantages can survive. They were not threatening us directly, although we knew what they meant; take this deal or get destroyed! And, the indirect force encouraged us to work hard.

C.O.D.E Name; R.O.M.E

Mission #11 1. That Rome was actually CIVILIZED!!! When I was a little kid, I thought that Romans were not civilized people and were more like the Gauls! 2. I think that the most confusing part was that the Jewish Leaders didn't like Jesus! Even as a Christian, I was surprised by this! 3. " 4. I would like to learn more about Gladiators and the Colosseum. 5. I think that I will always remember the accomplishments during that Pax Romana.

Mission #10 1. Political- The power was leaning against the generals of a small army of lower classed people. Also, the enemies were coming in from almost every side!


 * The empire was way too big to look over!

2. Social- The people of the army took their stance for their generals, rather than for the Roman Empire.

3. Economically- The conflicts between the generals and the large number of farmers in the generals' armies made it hard for Rome and its citizens to grow and harvest crops. Therefore, the prices of the food rose harshly, due to all of the imports to Rome. Section # A 1. According to the website, Jesus was born in the reign of Augustus 2. Judah 3. Jesus went around, curing and saving people. However, some Jewish Leaders thought that Jesus was not the son of God. Therefore, they told the Roman Governors. That made the Government to think that Jesus will form a rebellion with his massive amount of believers and followers. Also, Jesus told the people that there should be no more animal sacrifices because he, himself, will be the greatest sacrifice to God.
 * Diocletian made all the money go to the East.

Section B 1. At first, the Christians were treated like criminals, or the mud of the Roman Religion. 2. The poor feared the afterlife in the underworld. However, Christianity teaches us that people are equal (in life, not economically, like Communism!), and that if you believed in God, you will definitely go to heaven. 3.

By crucifying them, (earlier times) threw them into lions' dens, (later) made animals kill and/or eat the Christian, etc... 4. The thoughtful emperor Constantine allowed Christianity in Rome because, as more executions there were, the braver the Christians got.

Section C 1. * plunder- to snatch by force


 * barbarian- (described by the Romans) foreigners. (Present day usage) Uncivilized people; Vikings, Saxons, etc...
 * Diocletian- The Roman Emperor who ordered to divide Rome into to two parts.

. The Roman Military was filled with Mercenary. The enormous size of the Empire made it hard to govern. . By dividing the Roman Empire in half. . The Germanic Tribes captured Rome that date. . It weakened the Western. . The Romans thought that they were supreme, unique, like Hitler's idea of the superior race; the aryans. And that probably made the 'Barbarians' really, really upset...  Mission #8 1. Although it was a time of peace, the army grew to 300,000 men!!! 2. Built many things that advanced into one of the things that are mandatory in out daily life. ex) Bridges, tunnels... etc 3. The navy was to patrol over the Mediterranean. 4. Britain, Egypt, Syria 5. crops from egypt 6.Metal from Carthage 7.animals from Gaul 8. It won't cause confusion in trading

Mission #7 1. Caesar accomplished many things. But the best accomplishments are the accomplishment of the military is the conquest of the Gauls, the view of the plebeians, and the support of the army and the citizens when it came to Caesar fighting for power. 2. Caesar first came to power by fighting for power with the support of the army and the citizens. However, he was murdered by a group of Senators in a conference. 3. He was supported by some for his support to the common people; plebeians and others, his military tactics. However, he was suspected by some for future dictatorship.

Mission #6 1. This question will vary, however, I think that the expansion of Rome hurt Rome. Because, the plebeians were out of jobs, and the patricians had all the power and wealth. This caused the stumble of the republic. 2. Caesar believed that the expansion helped Rome because he thought that the expansion will keep Rome from getting attacks 3. Tiberius thought that the expansion of Rome weakened Rome because the Patricians held all the wealth and power of Rome 4. The powers only went to the nobles which let the Patricians choose one dictator 5. Like a few other things, the similar things happen to us, in the future

Mission #5 1. Africa ;africa, Britannia; britain, Italia; italy, Asia; Asia Minor- Turkey (probably). 2.

You were either dead by the long march to Rome or sold as a slave. 4. The long journey to Rome was just way too longgggg! 5. You get sold to rich Romans and your next step awaits... 6. I would rather be a FAMOUS gladiator because, the FAMOUS gladiators are treated just like a Roman citizen and you won't get a faced down thumb from the crowd!!!! Also, I get to use the weapons that the real Roman gladiators use, not the puny, thin, weak, and dull weapons that the new and weak slave gladiators use... 7. I think that the Mortician would be the best person to keep an awesome relationship with, because when a gladiator falls, two men step out on the arena, a man holding a 'humongous' hammer and dressed up like the god of death; Dis, and a man with a 'SIZZLIN'' poker and dressed up like the messenger of gods; Mercury. To make sure you are dead, they will smash your skulls; sure you know which ones I mean!, and poke you with the poker to see if you are really dead! However, if you are in a good relationship with them, they will at LEAST TRY not to do anything that will AT LEAST KILL! 8. I would like to be either a Samnite or a Secutor. Because, they were the luck ones!!! They had an awesomely guarded armor. With that, they can advance into the opponent or defend and THEN!!! SURPRISE ATTACK!!! 9. I could amuse the audience with ever-lasting fighting. If you are not fighting and you are resting, or even taking a breath, they will start to get bored! 10. You can have the 'rest of your life' after you fight till midday. 11. You have to raise your left hand and a finger... anyone of them... 12. If they cry Mitte, you're in luck!!! you can live!!!
