Overview - The point of this project was to compear what we know about the ancient Romans culture to what we know about the anceint Germans culture.We also were working on making a 5 paragraph essay.

Germans VS. Romans

      The German people’s way of life was very different to that of which of the Romans. The German Warriors were different than the Romans. The laws were different and thirdly the daily life was different.



    The warriors were different. The German warriors were given a shield and a sword and if they lost the shield and/or the sword it meant they lost their honor. The romans used a double-edged iron swords. The German warriors loyalties were to the cheiftain or person elected by a band of warriors. Where as the Roman warriors were organized into legions and they listened to the leader of their legion. Lastly the German bands didn’t have a plan when going into fights. It was more like surprise raids. However the Roman legions trained never stopped training they took long marches daily.

    The laws were different. The German laws came from the people. Unless the German people approved, the rulers couldn’t make or change laws. The Roman laws came from the emperors. The German laws were based on the customs of their ancestors and the Romans came from the emperors. The german laws weren’t written down but memorized and passed down. Whatever the Roman emperor said was final.

    The daily life of the Romans was different than that of the Germans. The average Roman lived in apartments and the higher up the apartment the lower the cost. The average German lived in open spaces in thatched- roof huts. Roman women could work in or own a show. German women would help the children and enslaved farm.

    So in conclusion, the Romans were very different from the Germans in many different ways. Such as their warriors dressed and trained differently. The laws were made differently and the daily life was fairly different.

This is an excerpt from the Lost gladiator project we did.

I go on the next couple of weeks. The different gladiators I fight against each have different weapons. Some had a gladius, one had a rete, another one had a spear, and another had a trident and one had a dagger.

A gladius was the roman name for a sword, and the rete was their name for a net. Different gladiators used different weapons and it wasn’t uncommon. Gladiators also used different things to protect them selves. Some would wear helmets and if they didn’t they would wear a Galerius or shoulder-guard to protect their head, but most wear helmets. There were two basic shields one that was smaller and easier to maneuver but protected less and one that was large like the ones they used it war. It was harder to maneuver but protected more. Another thing that protected them was the greaves it’s kind of like a modern day shin guard but it’s made with metal.

I had fought so many gladiatorial games I couldn’t count. I went to the next coliseum thinking it would be a regular amphitheater however when we got to the amphitheater it wasn’t just a coliseum it was the Coliseum in Rome.

The Colosseum in Rome was a symbol of the roman military. It was built were over the place where Nero (a roman emperor) had his lake. The sack of Jerusalem financed building it in 70 C.E. It was the greatest of 200 amphitheaters and even though the arena was mainly used for the gladiatorial, it is also used for beast fighting and punishment for Christians and criminals. The punishment may have included being thrown in the arena with wild animals. The Colosseum was a 616 ft. X 512ft. ellipse of pure genius, built by the slaves. It is 160 ft. tall with four tiers and it has a capacity of 50,000. Before the Colosseum was built, the gladiatorial games were previously held in the forum.

1)The war I researched was the Peloponnesian war.
2)Yes, my group divided the work equally, and I did the 5w's.
3)I found my information using EBSCO.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I am going to tell you what we did in module 1 since we just finished it. In module 1 of our textbooks Math Thematics we covered many different topics.
We learned about how to interpret a bar graph and line graph by recording the data of last years attendance sheets.
We covered the nth term by using patterns. We would have to predict things like the hundredth term. Instead of doing the pattern one hundred times, you use the nth term and replace the N with 100 and there you go.
We learned how to compute with exponents by finding out the standard form and the exponential form to figure out the answer.
To find the theoretical and experimental probability of an event. We learned this by doing a project with a friend. The project was to figure out a way to find out the probability of a subject of our chose. My partner and I chose picking gum out of a bag. We also had to find out the experimental probability and compere the two.
