I really liked your song, The word placement and the way you made "apple bottom jeans" talk about Rome is very interesting. I personally most definitely could not do that by myself I wouldn't even know where to start. this would be cool to do again in the future.

before 451 b.c. Rome officials would take advantage of the fact that there were no official written laws. So in 451 b.c 10 officials began to write official laws down. These laws were written on 12 tables that were hung up in the forum for all the people to see. And these 12 tables became the base of roman law, and gave the people the idea that all citizens are protected under the law.

This is one of the many temples of Baalbek. It is one of the most well preserved temples from roman era. it was built in the first century b.c.. There are three other temples like this each dedicated to a different god: Jupiter, Bacchus, and Venus.

Roman patricians and plebeians are very similar to greek class system. In Greece the Aristocrats basically had all the power over everyone else. In Rome it's pretty much the same exact way, the Patricians had all of the power, and usually consisted of wealthier people. The Plebeians are everyone else, mostly slaves and or the common people.

My essay topic will be about the trojan war, one of the most influential wars in the world.  The first paragraph would be an introduction to Greece and how they fought wars in that time period. My second paragraph would be on who fought in this specific war and why they began to fight. The next paragraph would cover the war it and who won and the tactics used by either sides. The fourth paragraph would cover the thoughts on the war being fake because greek mythology told the stories of the war using greek gods. The final paragraph would explain the significance of the war to greek history.
