today in class we went outside. First we sat on the bleachers it was a bad idea it was hot, the sun was in out eyes, and we sat on some red ant that made us look like we had blood on our pants. Then we moved to some shade, it was much more comfier. We talked about the fall of the roman empire, and how the US compared to the fall of the Roman empire.

today in class we had a sub. I forget his name he is a religion teacher. We worked on our essays about the roman empire and the roman republic. Personally i think the roman republic worked better. there was never one person in charge. The empire would run in the family so the person wouldnt always be the best fit.

today in class we finished watching the roman video on youtube. Then we got in a group and are doing the three kings Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius. They were all disappointed me. In my group was Zach and kevin and were splitting the work. I have Tiberius, Kevin had Caligula, and Zach has Claudius.

the three kings

Tiberius
November 16, 42 BC – March 16, AD
Step-son of Octavian
Parents were divorced
One of Romes greatest generals

Caligula
and his family got in an argument with Tiberius and Tiberius was worried that because Caligula's father was a hero that he would be a political threat. Tiberius had the family accept Caligula killed. He was the survivor. Tiberius hated him until one day he for some reason warmed up to him. He made Caligula his heir to the throne. Caligula at first exceeded expectations and then slid into insanity. He became a crazy tyrant and a perv. One thing that he did well was construction. He was later assassinated by his closest people.

Claudius
zach didnt do his part
