*Extra Notes on the Romans*

Today Mr. Schick brought in his daughter and they sang a song for us. They came in dressed in hoodies and sunglasses and they made a parody of a rap song that explained what we were learning in class. It was really funny to watch. We also went over our Alexander the Great tests today. We went over our scores and compared them with other classes that Mr. Schick teaches. I also took some extra notes for today.

The Romans adopted a lot of the Greeks culture. The military was considered the most powerful in the world, and was regarded as very fierce and strong. In the Bible, the Romans are frequently mentioned.
Rome was also strategically located in one of the best locations you could get. It had access to rivers and the coastline, and they were on hills, so they could see their enemies coming. This was one of the reasons Rome was so successful. Respublica was Latin for Republic, or in other words, the "peoples business"
