ROME


  • Circus Maxi mus was a huge area where chariot fights and other fights occurred.
  • "Give them bread and serve business."
  • Kept them from revolting most of the time.
  • Young men were building big houses and the others didn't.
  • Gracchus brothers: their idea- the rich who are making big amounts of money from slavery and could not spend the money they have. They have too much and the people who fought for the country have nothing.
  • The rich could give some of their land back that they brought from people.
  • As a thank you and treat them as normal human beings.
  • The rich did not like it because they would have to lose some of their land. 
  • Threw the men into the Tiber river, and was beaten to death with a chair.
  • Assembly doing battle with the senate.
  • On side of the government was arguing with the other side of the government.
  • Conquering war lands, spreading and getting bigger and better.
  • They got rid of this government after the wars and then changed the government, then the empire collapsed.
  • Americans think that we are going down the same path as Romans.
