Note for Rome

Participate is the first period of the roman empire. When you see someone not wearing shoes it mean they are a got. A dolphin means Venus. Army's have flags because you know what side is yours. The Roman empire was expert at propaganda. Prime porta is the name o f the statue.
Augustus dies in the year of 14 Coe and Tiberius is his heir, Augustus did not leave an heir. His wife had a son from a preface marriage. Tiberius kept the peace for the most part, but e himself was cruel for the most part. Caligula was a nut and loved his sister, and for fun he had people murdered, and he tried to have his hoarse named a senator, and he was assigned and replaced by Claudius, he was strange, deformed and anti social, he was a decent emperor, and he did not want to be the emperor and was followed by Nero, he was also a nut case, and he burdened down a part of Rome and blamed it on the Christens, he burdened it down because he wanted it to be a park, He put a castle named the golden house, and later he was conversed to summit suicide. Vespasian was an old military general and did not take any bull shit, and he thought that Nero was a nut, he wanted to run everything like military, and when roman emperors died they were turned into states gods, and they would build a temple and once a year they would collect taxes. On his death bed he says "it appears that I am about to become a God" Titus does two things of interest. First he completes the Vespasian amphitheatre (coliseum) also he had a great arch dedicated to him. ON the inside of the arch it says something gin Latin, and there a picture. Titus dies and the roman love him and he is replaced by Domitian is a tough guy and builds a bath complex and many other thing. And he is assainated and replaced by Nerva. Nerva(96-98)T rajan (98-177) Hadrian (117-138) Antoninus Pius (138-161) Marcus Aurelius (161-180). They were called the good emperors. Nerva is the first of the Good emperors and one of the most important thing he does is chose who his heir is then just having it as a blood relative. He picks Trajan is a military person and starts a campaign. And on top of the column is the story of the solders, and there are two libraries where you can read it. And he expand the emperor more and gets to the heir if Hadrian he was a acutest a stage man a writer and world traveler, and he was also the first roman emporia not to be for Italy, he was from Greece.
