    2. Rome changes during the Pax Romana
    Agriculture was the most important industry in the empire ,all else depended on it.
    About 90 percent of the people were engaged in farming.
    Most Romans survived on the produce from their local area.
    Additional foodstuffs and luxury items for the rich were obtained through trade.
    In Augustus’ time, a silver coin called adenarius was in use throughout the empire.
    Having common coinage made trade between different parts of the empire much easier.
    Rome had a vast trading network.
    The changes that I consider negative are that the additional stuffs and luxury items that where obtainded by the rich because then they take everythinig and there is no more the others.

    3. The role that Juius Caesar played in the decline of the republic and the rise of the empire is that he emerged to bring order to Rome and domiated Rome as a triumirate.

    On thing that I am interested about rome is how Juilius Caesar dominated rome as a triumirate.

    7.gladiators - professional fighters

    Changes in Rome

    1. Rome's population numbered between 60 and 80 million
    people

    2. the Roman Empire included more than 3 million
    square miles

    3. About 1 million people lived in the city of Rome

    I think that when more people came to Rome being overpopulated may have been a problem.

    Q; What role did Julius Caesar play
    in the decline of the republic and
    the rise of the empire

    A: Julius Caesar was the leader. He took control of the city and what needed to be done to make the city better. He started colonies where the landless could own land and increased pay for soldiers. He also helped poor people to get jobs for themselves.

    Triumvirate: It is a group of three rulers.

    Absolute Ruler: It is some one who has total power.

    2.

    Almost 90% of the people were farmers.
    A silver coin named Adenarius was in used the empire.
    Rome had a network for trading.
    Agriculture was very important in the empire.
    Rome had made trade between each parts of the Empire.
    The change that I consider negative is that about 90% of the people were farmers, because it there is low percentage of other jobs that need to be done.

    3. The role that Julius Caesar played in the decline of the republic and the rise of the empire is that he emerged to bring order to Rome and dominated Rome as a triumvirate.




    The one thing that interests me is the way the Romans traded among each other.

    TERMS & NAMES

    2. TAKING NOTES
    Make a bulleted chart like the one
    below, showing how Rome
    changed during the Pax Romana.

    Changes in Rome
    Agriculture was the most important industry in the empire.
    Rome’s emperors were able and intelligent.
    Ships from the east traveled the
    Mediterranean protected by the Roman navy. Cities such as Corinth in
    Greece, Ephesus in Anatolia, and Antioch on the eastern coast of the
    Mediterranean grew wealthy.

    Which changes do you consider
    negative? Why? I consider when the Roman army drew upon the men of the provinces as auxiliary, or support,
    forces since they were not citizens of Rome to be negative because they were taking avantage of people.

    3. ANALYZING CAUSES
    What role did Julius Caesar play
    in the decline of the republic and
    the rise of the empire?

    Caesar was a strong leader and a genius at military strategy.
    Abiding by tradition, he served only one year as consul. During 58–50
    B.C., Caesar led his legions in a grueling but successful campaign to
    conquer all of Gaul. Because he shared fully in the hardships of war,
    he won his men’s loyalty and devotion. The reports of Caesar’s successes in Gaul made him very popular with the people of Rome. Pompey, who had become his political rival, feared Caesar’s ambitions. In 50 B.C., the senate, at Pompey’s
    urgings, ordered Caesar to disband his legions and return home.
    Caesar’s next move led to civil war. On the night of January 10, 49 B.C., he took his army across the Rubicon River in Italy. He marched his army swiftly toward Rome, and Pompey fled.
    Caesar’s troops defeated Pompey’s armies in Greece, Asia, Spain,
    and Egypt. The senate later appointed him dictator; in 44 B.C., he was named dictator for life.

    Agriculture was very important in the empire. Most Romans survived on the produce from their local area.a silver coin called a denarius was in use throughout the empire. Having common coinage made trade between different parts of the empire much easier. Something i consider negative is that the rich would get more things than the poor.
