We Had some issues with the movie but you left because you were going to try to fix it and oliva and becca came to the rescue and took charge and got us to watch the movie.  I really hope i can pull out and have a good ending to the year.

the over throw

We had a test today and i thought i did well and i got a 76:( i thought i did better.  I really wish i did better.  I mean its better but its not that bad.  I really wish i got that dc question .  I guess i will have to do better.

notes

The council supported the rich
Everyone wanted to move to Rome
People got entertainment from gladiators
Gracchus brothers idea was the rich was give the land back to the poor
Got beat by a chair for giving the idea

song edit 2

Well, you got the Etruscans and the Greeks

But the Latins came first

To the shores of the River Tiber

They drained a swamp (They drained a swamp)

Next thing you know

Livin’ in Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

Now Tarquin’s kinda proud

But he got a little loud (little loud)

They turned around and ran that tyrant outta town (hey!)

Next thing you know (next thing you know)

No kings no more

Happened in Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

 

Hey, we got three governments rolled into one

Patricians and plebeians havin’ some fun

Two consuls gotta be better than one

Brand new republic ready to run

Democracy

Aristocracy

Plus monarchy

Not a tyranny

Ho-o-o-old up wait a minute, do I see what I think I… hey!

That’s a Roman legion clear as day

5000 soldiers not in it for pay

Group of eighty’s a century

On horseback is the cavalry

Shield, sword, dagger, and armor and tunic

Fightin ’gainst Carthage in wars that are Punic

Hannibal riding on elephant back

Crossing the Alps just to launch his attack

Rome wins 3 nothing! They crushed them.

So now you get the picture (picture)

All the rich are getting richer (richer)Kids take over bc everyone went to war. Rich bought farms

And they’re livin’ on the latifundia

Farmers can’t cope (They just can’t cope)

They’re low on hope

They moved to Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

I can hear the brothers Gracchus

Sayin, “Rich, please don’t attack us” (don’t attack us)

“We got a feeling that the senators will whack us” (hey!)

They hit the floor (they hit the floor)

Next thing you know

It’s civil war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war

Hey, let me take you back to 60 BC

It’s the start of the rise of Julius C

He grabbed two dudes and he formed a team

It’s a triumvirate -- that’s a group of three

“Crassus (come on), Pompey (come on), I’m JC! (come on)

We three will rule!

What you think I'm playin, baby girl?  I'm the man!

I'm conquering Gaul!”

All of his soldiers gave him their devotion

That’s why he swept over Gaul just like an ocean

Pompey couldn’t understand all the commotion

When he crossed the Rubicon, he kept up motion

It’s just like a potion

Caesar had self-locomotion

Power’s an ambitious emotion

Dictator is not a demotion

It’s promotion

But in 44 BC (BC)

On a day called March 15 (Ides of March)

Brutus and the Senate murdered Julius C

He hit the floor (he hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Caesar’s no more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more

You know he’s so depressed

23 stab wounds in his chest (in his chest)

He saw his friend and he raised one last protest (hey!)

“Et tu, Brute?” (Et tu, Brute?)

That’s what he say

Cuz he felt low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

 

Only eighteen, Octavian makin’ the scene

He says, “I tell you what,

Got a new triumvirate

Here’s my boy Lepidus

And Mark Antony I trust”

(‘Til Marky met this chick

Cleopatra from Egypt)

Octavian was freakin’

Lust for power started peakin’

“Don’t try to play me or my navy,

At Actium you won’t slay me”

“O” won that game

Did explain

Now Augustus was his name

All his subjects did proclaim

He’s in the Roman Hall of Fame

Twenty-seven BC (BC)

For a couple hundred years (207)

Pax Romana is the word that brings the cheers (Yay!)

They’re on a roll (they’re on a roll)

They built some roads

Leading to Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

Slaves don’t have many rights and

Then there’s gladiator fightin’ (OW!)

People find the Circus Maximus excitin’ (hey!)

Blood on the floor (knee-deep in gore)

And now you know

All about Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

(C'mon!)

Brand new republic republic came from res pulica is latin for the peoples jobs)

 ready to run

Democracy

Aristocracy (rich formed the senate)(make the laws public)

Plus monarchy ( nice to have power with a few people) (didn’t like with they couldn’t get rid of something) (there were two councils)(they were there for one year)
