Unit Outline
Et tu, Brute? All hail Caesar, Gaius Julius Caesar, as we look into Roman history. The line of Caesars was long. One of the greatest empires to exist in the world breathes life for over a thousand years! Myths surrounding the founding of Rome will be discussed. The Roman Republic will be analyzed. Remember that Rome had a Senate. This was the beginning of the republic government. The Roman legions will level their weapons at us. Roman accomplishments and architectural works will be viewed. The Colosseum, a place known well for its brutal fighting, is a major achievement that still stands today. If you thought that the Colosseum was large, wait until you see the Circus Maximus! It is here that true chariot racing was done. We will look into both arches and domes. And let us not forget Mt. Vesuvius. Pompeii did not last long once the pyroclastic surge raced down the mountain.
