Since Csar had no sons of his own, he made up his mind that some day his grandnephew would succeed him as ruler of Rome. After Csar’s assassination in March, 44, Augustus came to Rome. In spite of his youth he soon became one of the most powerful men of the Roman state.<br />
<br />
It has been said that the life of the first Roman emperor was really the life of two men - Octavian and Augustus. In the years when, as Octavian, he was fighting for the rule of the Roman world, he did many mean and treacherous things to bring about his ends. He thought nothing of sacrificing his friends in order to win over powerful enemies. But after Octavian became the emperor Augustus, a ruler with no serious rivals, there was a great change for the better. In general he showed a kindness and a generosity that had been almost entirely lacking in former years.NickECampbellEconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06012496148052467225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964394742710109102.post-7725411588532834612011-06-07T08:40:00.001-07:002011-06-07T08:40:39.978-07:00ROME POST III - Venn Diagram<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPASKCat5XL-YgWgOG_wWICEokFCs472Alj_IDQ_pgtnNYMH6yJuqcCle14x9OHVCrJJ_nNRU3IXbYMOHOAhwtuGMsc_kw6jMEjjlydtJv2qOIu9lwecZM25OP28GNIoJMgL6vOozejWyg/s1600/untitled.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPASKCat5XL-YgWgOG_wWICEokFCs472Alj_IDQ_pgtnNYMH6yJuqcCle14x9OHVCrJJ_nNRU3IXbYMOHOAhwtuGMsc_kw6jMEjjlydtJv2qOIu9lwecZM25OP28GNIoJMgL6vOozejWyg/s320/untitled.bmp" t8="true" width="320px" /></a></div>NickECampbellEconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06012496148052467225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964394742710109102.post-61742881220761581422011-05-16T08:50:00.000-07:002011-05-16T08:50:04.367-07:00ROMAN Post 2<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">For the next section, one of the first links I believe we should use is </span><a href="http://www.pbs.org/empires/romans/"><span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">http://www.pbs.org/empires/romans/</span></a><span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"> this website contains many maps, family trees, games as well as a virtual library.

After the first day Capzles became second hand and the only effort I really needed to do was get information and pictures, Capzles did the rest by organizing my information into different "stacks" or groups and made it easy to find and easy to understand. I have used this website for one other project as well.

I chose the top 5 that I did seeing as we still use them today and they relate to us in many different ways. For example things such as philosophy are a part of schools and the way we learn, while democracy is something we live with in our government system. Although Herodotus is not part of our day to day lives, history is, and we create history everyday. The olympics are not neccasarily a contribution, however it is still an impact on us, and is something everyone takes time to watch or read about. Lastly I picked aqueducts because.. we need water..</div>NickECampbellEconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06012496148052467225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964394742710109102.post-58692307271795097192011-03-28T08:37:00.000-07:002011-03-28T08:37:53.679-07:00Greek Blog #4<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAjUc3yhYLkJyxNxRD_bp4Z0iP90yzZydk4WBoKRcYenbRRr6Q3C4_N5eGAlgKFiKn8Xa2WZJ_1UZzFa5tV-0_atRAckcOWCnYS1xk2soKlqrt2lhG9mMy4-jLFJw7YXS5XzrF4mLIrX1e/s1600/Greek+Cover.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAjUc3yhYLkJyxNxRD_bp4Z0iP90yzZydk4WBoKRcYenbRRr6Q3C4_N5eGAlgKFiKn8Xa2WZJ_1UZzFa5tV-0_atRAckcOWCnYS1xk2soKlqrt2lhG9mMy4-jLFJw7YXS5XzrF4mLIrX1e/s320/Greek+Cover.png" width="320" /></a></div>As the cover to a Greek Unit book, I would choose a picture of one of the Grand Monuments that would have been in Greece.

Sparta was more of a military type civilization. They were very strong in their combatants and the government kept control of its people. Personally, having most of the males in my family take some sort of part in the military I would rather live in sparta and fight for the people. The boys education in this civilization was Reading, Writing, and Military Training which would work for me.</span><br />

I want to find out what these trades were, as well as what impact they might have had on their society. Once I find out what exactly these trades I would like to be able to find what tools were used in order to complete these. To go even further, I want to find out if some of these tools used have evolved or slightly changed into something we use in today's society.<br />

Explain your choice clearly.During the time of the Persian Empire, the most influential leader to my was Cyrus the Great. Besides the fact that he he had "The Great" along with his name, he did much to improve life at this time. He was the one who founded the Persian Empire itself. After he took over this empire Cyrus set out to conquere other lands, such as the wealthy kingdom of Lydia. He also took over cities such as Ionia, and Babylon. Cyrus was the most influential leader at this time not only because he was able to take over other lands to obtain people, he let his people keep their customs, which was something other leaders did not do at this time. Cyrus also freed Jews form slavery and allowed them to return to Jerusalem. <br />

In your post name 5 of his laws that you think we should enact today and explain why.<a href="http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/MESO/CODE.HTM">Hammurabi's Code (All 282 of them..)</a><br />
<br />
<strong>162 - If a man marry a woman, and she bear sons to him; if then this woman die, then shall her father have no claim on her dowry; this belongs to her sons. </strong><br />
If something like this was enacted in today's society we wouldn't have to worry about spouses killing one another for their own personal gain.<br />
<br />
<strong>14 - If any one steal the minor son of another, he shall be put to death.</strong> <br />
Prevents Child kidnapping<br />
<br />
<strong>56 - If a man let in the water, and the water overflow the plantation of his neighbor, he shall pay ten gur of corn for every ten gan of land.</strong> <br />
This law would help pay for intentional property damage.<br />
<br />
<strong>128 - If a man take a woman to wife, but have no intercourse with her, this woman is no wife to him</strong><br />
I just think this would be a funny law.. So I picked it..<br />
<br />
<strong>196 - If a man put out the eye of another man, his eye shall be put out. [ An eye for an eye ]</strong> <br />
Eye for an eye is the bet way to go about things, none of this "it leaves the world blind" shenanigansNickECampbellEconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06012496148052467225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964394742710109102.post-69119819629055754602011-02-10T09:00:00.000-08:002011-02-10T09:00:21.460-08:00POST 5 - Write back to the travel agent as a Sumerian explaining why the Fertile Crescent was the ideal place to set up city-statesDear Travel Agent,<br />
<br />
We appreciate your offer, and would love to come visit this new land you talk about, but after talking it over with some of my people, we have decided that it is better for us to stay where we are. We have begun our very own civilization and we have even developed money, and trade routes. The rivers in our location flood annually allowing us to keep the land fertile and grow many crops. We are sorry to say that we will not be visiting and staying in our location. What we have is great and we don't want to sacrifice it. <br />

The best posts will include a map or picture of the suggested region.Dear Sumerians,<br />
<br />
I come to you with a new location proposal! Yes the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers are a great and convinent location, but I have stumbled upon something that would better suit your needs. Not only is this land fertile for you to grow your crops and trade with neighboring nations, there is a wide span of wildlife that would allow for you to hunt as well. This land is called the Indus and Ganges River Valley. Not only is the land very vast, it is conveniently located just south east of your location! Come out and visit! The many Civilizations already formed are waiting for you.<br />

When I'm not in school I'm either at my job or hopefully playing hockey or lacrosse. What makes me unique is that I always try to turn things into a joke so people can have a good time. This gets me in trouble (most of the time), but it is what it is. If your wondering why I am typing this, it is because it is part of a class I am currently taking my senior year of high school called Western Civilization. I took this class because the guidance office wouldn't give me a second study hall, and I didn't want to take creative writing to be completely honest. The thing that interests me most about these Western Civilizations is wondering where they went, how strong they might have been, and what could have wiped them out. Id like to learn about these concepts while at the same time becoming more experienced with a computer, as well getting a good grade.NickECampbellEconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06012496148052467225noreply@blogger.com0
