Thursdays class

Today was an hour late bell, Mr. Schick didn't realize that.  After 10-15 minutes Parker and I went down to the tv room to see if he was in there.  He was there, not realizing there was an hour late bell.  After that all happened, he came in class and we started taking notes from the Rome powerpoint.  Here are some of the notes.

Poor Plebs

• the senate kept plebs happy by giving them bread and entertainment
• that was all wanted while they were in slavery

Change in Rule

• Tiberius Gracchus recognized the advantages of courting the plebeians
• After Tiberius died... military leaders figured out the same thing as Tiberius
• soldiers showed loyalty to their military leaders

Julius Ceaser

• he died 44 Bc
• he was a very successful military leader
• he was good at politics
• made common folks happy
• made friends in high places
• became friends with Pompey, who was a general that conquered Syria and Palestine
• formed a friendship with Crassus, who was the richest man in Rome and one of the richest men in history
• they formed their own group called Triumvirate
• means the rule of three men

that's all the notes I have from today.
