Technical Problems

Today in class we were trying to watch a movie about Ancient Rome but the sound on Mr. Schick's computer wasn't working to it took us a whole mod to figure out what the problem was. Because it took so long to fix the computer we didn't get to watch much of the video so I didn't get many notes but this is what I got.

- The Republic lasted 500 years

-Tiberius son of the Emperor also named Tiberius.

• He died defending his fathers ideas
• Was murdered by an aristocrat
• His crime changed Rome FOREVER 

-After 6 days of fighting the Carthaginians surrendered 

• Defeating Carthage showed that Tiberius was able to take after his father.  
• Carthage was destroyed and all the territory ended up in the hands of Rome
• Men ad children from Carthage were sold into slavery

- As the aristocrats got richer from the things taken from Carthage, the poor flooded the streets

-If Tiberius fails to take care of the poor the Republic would fall apart.
