Some More Rome

Today we went over the test questions, and I have a strong feeling it is open blog which is totally fine with me. I think its open blog because we have two weeks to learn about Rome and Mr. Schicks been giving us hints like to detail our blogs and stuff. Here are the notes for today:

• They were a Roman Legion
• in an area had about 5000 soldiers
• part infantry (on foot)
• part cavalry (on horseback)
• groups of 80 - called century or centuries
• Flank left/flank right/flank center
•  Punic war:

             ○1st - Sicily//super strategic//Rome won

             ○ 2nd - Hannibal/ Cartheginian General// went the long/back/sneaky way in//Rome            won

             ○ 3rd - Romans saying - Rome had enough//not going to wait for Carriage to attack//Rome destroyed everything//not a stone on top of another stone

             ○ Romans winning this series of wars shaped our culture//if the Romans didn't win, we would be speaking a different language//probably wouldn't be Catholic

     ● where is Carriage located?

             ○ Northwestern Africa
