Christianity in the Pax Romana

Begins with Jesus. Comes from the Gospels which means good news. Jesus was a Jewish itinerant preacher in Judea who taught Gods personal relationship. Jesus was a threat to Roman rule. After reading the letter of Paul, both Jews and Christians were monotheistic. They refused to worship Roman gods. Early in the Pax Romana, it was easy to travel and to spread ideas. Romans were a receptive audience. Jews and Christians were sometimes prosecuted because they went against Roman law. Christianity embraced all people, gave hope to the powerless, appealed to those who were disgusted by Rome, offered a personal relationship with God, and promised eternal life after death. Roman emperor Constantine sees an image that says in this sign, conquer. He orders troops to put a cross on shields and they end up winning. In 313 the emperor approves Christianity. In 380 it becomes the official religion. The Roman military was too weak. The taxes were too high. There was a population decrease. Division of the empire. The last Roman emperor was in 476.

After Rome Test

Today we went over the Rome test. I got a 72 and i thought i did much better. Apparently everyone felt that way... not many people got the grade they thought they were going to get. Most of the questions i got wrong were on the emperor part. I also got a lot wrong on the Punic war part. We also went over the Pax Romana slideshow about Christianity.

Test day

Today in class we took a test. I studied last night before I went to bed. I think i did REALLLLLY good on it. There was only about 3 problems that i didn't really know. Using process of elimination I think i got the right answer. I think i got a high A on the test. It was one of the easiest this year. However the powerpoint was Soooooooooo long and unnecessary but i learned the material. I took really good notes which helped me in the end.

Rome

Today in class we went over what was going to be on the test. Octavian forces Lepidus to retire. He and Mark Antony become rivals. Mark Antony get with Cleopatria of Egypt personally, politically, economically, and militarily. Octavian defeats them at the battle of Actium. Octavian became the unchallenged ruler of Rome. He was called Agustus and Imperator. Now Rome is an empire, not a republic. Ruled for 40 years. He began a stable era of peace and prosperity known as Pax Romana. Pax Romana was 207 years long. He expanded the Roman Empire into Africa. He set up civil service to run the government. Octavian died because of natural causes. Power was passed down to emperors who were bad.

Rome

Tiberius ruled from AD 14 to AD 37. He was a good general but a reluctant emperor. After the death of his son he exiled himself from Rome and left his prefects in charge. He died at age 77.
Caligula ruled from AD 37 to AD 41. He won a power struggle after Tiberiusdies. He was known for cruelty, extravagance, and perversity. He was an insane tyrant. He was assassinated by praetorian guards, Senators, and the imperial court trying to re-establish the republic.
Claudius ruled from AD41 to AD54. Many think he had cerebral palsy. He took over because he was the last male left in the family. He ruled well and ended up starting the conquest of Britian. He died by poisoning. This was his wife's plan so the son could rule.
Nero ruled from 54-68. He was big on arts. There was a huge fire in 64. He wanted Rome to be more majestic. He over spent, raided the temples for money. Historians don't look kindly on him.

Rome

Julius Caesar
Lived from 100-44 BCE. He was a highly successful general. He conquered the area Gaul. People liked him. He was a really good speaker. He was friends with Pompey (a general who conquered Syria and Palestine) and Crassus (richest man in Rome, one of the richest men in all history). Those 3 men formed the First Triumvirate "rule of 3 men". Julius served as a consul (one year). He said he was the governor of Gaul. Pompey gets jealous, becomes his rival. Caesars armies clash with Pompey's in Greece, Asia, Spain, and Egypt. Caesar was winning. in 44BC he is named dictator first for 6 months then for life. Caesar is granted citizenship to people in provinces. He expanded the Senate and created jobs for the poor through public works projects. He also increased pay for soldiers. He started colonies where those with out land could own property. Caesar was assassinated in the Senate because he was stabbed 23 times. Julius Caesars grandnephew and adopted son Octavian takes over at 18. The second Triumvirate consists of Mark Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian.
