democracy is you vote on everything
republic is you vote for someone who votes for everything
Gravitas- loyalty, strength, discipline
one weapon plegions had on their side is their army
office of the dictator is six months long unless the crisis wasn't over

Going over homework

Not a monarchy. Rome had been a kingdom, monarchy, ruled by tyrants. Gone through that for the most part and didn't mind. people didn't assume they should rule themselves. Tarquin the proud was a guy who was a tyrant and he had seized too much power, not very good with the people We are a Republic. If it was a democracy, all we would be doing would be voting and It's all we'd ever hear about. Gravitas is an important virtue that believed in strength discipline and loyalty. patresfamilias is the father of the house. Togas are loose garment worn by the citizens of Rome. A Partition Is an upper class, claimed to have ancestors who founded Rome. Romus and Remulous. A Legion is a massive military unit

New movie, yayyy

Alexander was the only one who could ride the horse
after battle they would sacrifice a bull
He tricks them into thinking he made a mistake for running away,but he was leading them away
A lot of blood and guts and gore but not as bad as I thought it would be
Derius got so scared he ran away, killing some of his own men
Alexander was king at age 25
worst/ bloodiest battles he had been in
