Jesus Christ

I was absent on Wednesday!!

Rise of Christianity
Jesus spends 3 years preaching and then later put to death and his followers believe he is the Messiah and that he has rose from the dead. Saul, becomes Paul and spreading the message, one true God and no Roman Gods. Christianity evolves from cult status to establish, official structure. Priest, Bishops, Pope ( Bishop of Rome ) .

Hardly anybody believe in Roman Gods and all the other Romans started to believe in Christianity and the Romans were gone. You don't want to publicly tell everybody your a Christian because you will die because the emperor stills believe in the Romans Gods who don't exist there just basically myths.

Christians and Jews are monotheistic the believing in one God, this was a conflict with Roman beliefs, persecution between the both was really common and as it grew even some Roman leaders embraced Christianity.

With in 200 years of Christ dying more than 10% of all Romans became Christians. Constantine had a battlefield conversion, he issues the Edict of Milan, not only no persecution but actually approve its an official religion of Rome. Emperor of Rome and the bishops were linked and were sharing ideas and helping each other out.

Homework read pg. 123 " The Changing World of Rome "

Rome

Patrician - a upper class person, powerful
Plebeian - common people, workers, farmers
Senate - a group of 300 patricians
Consuls - Two people, they have veto power over each other
Tribunes - leader of the plebeians assembly
Twelve Tables - the laws of Rome posted were everyone could see them on a Forum
Most important modern document, The United States Constitution, Senate / Assemblies / - US Senate / House Reps Consuls / Dictator - President of the US
Senate could act like judges - like our Supreme Court
Why could the rich only serve in the Senate ?
Members not paid, but worked their way up from low ranking magistrates to higher ones. They needed to spend a lot to look good, popular, and powerful, making them electable. Plebes couldn't afford to do that.
The kings who ruled between 600 and 500 BC ordered the building of the Forum, Rome's political center.

Rome

Octavian or Caesar Augustus - First emperor at the age of B
Began the Pax Romana ( Peace ) Built roads, aqueducts
Tiberius adopted a grandson - Caligula
Caligula - Freedom of speech, military bonus fight the senate, claimed to be God, displayed his face on statues in Jewish temples and Roman, slept with other man wife's, killed by own aides, AD 41 ( 28 )
Claudius - conquered land, extended roads, canals, aqueducts renovated the Circus Maximus
Rome was harsh and cruel to Christians and Jewish people

Rome

Octavian was later called Augustus after his triumph AT Actium the senate called him that. Unlike Caesar, Augustus refused the offer of a long - term dictatorship and referred to himself simply as princeps which means first citizen. Augustus was convinced that if Rome's new peace and stability were to last, the changes he had made in its government system must continue after his death.

The rise of Latin began with a Greek ex slave, Livius Andronicus, who in the third century bc translated Homers Odyssey and several Greek dramas. Very Soon Roman authors began to write in the forms of literature like the Greeks and the Latin's did.

The first Greek writer to encounter Rome was Polbius, who came to Rome as a hostage in the course to conquest Greece during the second century bc
