Today we found that Mr. Schick was crazy sick and still felt horrible. He also said that his break as well as his Easter was horrible. So after he finished telling us about his lonely Easter and calling me a raccoon because of my sunburn, he told us to read a few pages and do some questions for homework...
republic- a form of government with a leader and committees to make up a government
gravitas- the Latin word meaning of seriousness or dignity
pater familias- the head of a Roman family; "father of the family"
toga- Roman clothing
patrician- a person of aristocracy, richness, or power
plebiean- of or belonging to the commoners or regular people of Rome
legion- a unit of of the acient Roman Army
century- a smaller unit of elite Roman soldier
1. The geography is a help to them because there is a lot of mountain surrounding a flatter area in Italy. There is also ocean everywhere. The mountains were extremely fertile and they were easy to protect. The ocean gave them those resources. The flat land gave them plains and places to build cities to run the empire from.
2. Rome began as a settlement of Latin shepherds. Greece had a lot of settlements along the coasts of Italy and Sicily and they became close with Rome. The Etruscans were very civilized and moved into North Italy. They had writing and were very languisticized (if that's a word).
3. In Roman society it was good to well educated and rich. You didn't want to be in the bottom of society. If you were a man warfare a very much a part of your life.
4. In the Roman household the oldest capable man in the family was the patrician. Next came the other men. It was then the women. And the children were finally at the bottom.
5. The army was linked to Roman society because the men usually were part of it when they were capable. They always wanted to do the best they could and come back a war hero. This is how there respect for them and their family. It was honorable to be linked to a war hero or honorable person.
