The rise and FALL of the roman empire...(btw...IT FELL)




Our class did short skits on the rise and the FALL of the roman empire. we learned that Tarquin the proud was the last emperor of Rome and Julius Caesar became the ruler afterward. he controlled Rome firmly and so restored order. after he was assassinated,because religious leaders were jealous of his power, his adopted son, Octavian, took over. he changed his name to Augustus and ruled as well as his father. later, Diocletian became ruler of the roman empire and divided it in two parts, the east and the west, to better control the society. Constantine, the ruler after Diocletian, declared the end of the attacks to the Christians. but the western roman empire FELL due to poor agriculture and invaders.The skit was a very "interesting" experience. it made me very nervous but over all it was very fun.


ps. The roman empire FELL!!!
