Roman Times The enemy is gone Carthage is leveled AP Press In 814 Carthage fought 3 wars against us. The wars were spread out through the empire from the sea to Sicily and Spain then finally in the city of Carthage. There navy was their best defense and we didn’t even have a navy. How did we win that war? Then in 218 they took the fight to us. Ya we beat them again. Finally we just flattened the enemy. Macedonia tried to over through us but It didn’t work we won that war to. The reason we did this was to expand our borders and it worked we added to new countries to our empire Hey Where Did The Capital Go? By: Taylor Markarian 330 C.E. ROME- Emperor Constantine has moved the capital from Rome to a place he calls “New Rome.” The new capital is in the eastern empire, where it can easily be defended. Some even say that Emperor Constantine moved the capital because the western empire was falling. Emperor Constantine rebuilt the Byzantine Empire and made it the capital. New Rome is located 850 miles east of Rome. Hopefully this move won’t cause too much trouble for the empire. THE WEST FALLS By: Cam Duso, A.D.-471, Juno 13 Last week on the frontiers of Gaul, the native tribes attacked the frontiers in great numbers. The 257 soldiers stationed there held for approximately 3 hours before falling to the swarms of barbarians. The people took a poll and they say that the government was becoming very unstable. Our researchers say that because we took their land, they decided to get back at us. There also were many problems with transferring power to be Bow Down to Germanic Tribes By Vivian Fang The Western Roman Empire has fallen just yesterday in 4 September in C.E. 476 after being invaded and taken over by Germanic tribes! The Roman Empire split into two halves in C.E. 284, so that the Western part of the Roman Empire contained the city of Rome. The Western Roman Empire collapsed for a number of reasons. The reasons include a rise of poverty in its people, the Roman Times citizens’ very minimal loyalty to Rome, multiple threats of invasion from non-citizens, weakening Roman military, and an increase in crime. The Western Roman Empire also had a preposterous, ineffective way of transferring power from one emperor to the next. However, though the Roman Empire, which many onceproud citizens declared would never fall, fell, you can count on its culture to live on and influence people for generations to come. We are Moving? By: Lilly Fox We are moving to Byzantium. Which is 850 miles east in Turkey. How this happened was Constantine, known as our sole Emperor decided for us to move to a safer place. When we are moving is 334 B.C. Why this is happening is because Constantine decided to move because he thinks it is much more safe, so we can get good military, and not get attacked by intruders. Emperor, many civil wars had broken out to gain power. Also the cost of having such a large army brought poverty. With poverty soldiers weren’t getting the money they lost loyalty to Rome. Julius Caesar, Man of the People By:Sarah Ghannoum Julius Caesar started to rule in 66 B.C. Caesar couldn’t win the power, without loyal army. On January 10, Caesar led his troops to Italy. The common people started to revolt against him. On March 14, three day ago Caesar died. Caesar got killed at the senate buy the conspirators. Caesar had chosen Octavian, his nephew as his heir. We don’t think there will be as much power, as Julius Caesar’s, our man of the people dies. Caesar’s Death July 12 March 14 QuickTime™ and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture. Constantinople is Tops in Trade By:Sam Belinsky Constantinople is tops in trade. It is located in Asia. It is at the cross roads of Europe and Asia. The time period is 330 C.E It is surrounded on three sides by water. Its harbors Roman Times are filled with boats from around the world. Roads linking east and west meet there. Camel, and mule trains carry goods to all corners of the globe. It is the trading capital of the Roman Empire. Rome Going Goth? By: Matthew Todd A few years ago, Emperor Valens let the Goths into the Roman Empire, because the Huns attacked the Goths’ villages. It is now August 10, 378 BCE, and the Goths just attacked Adrianople yesterday. The Goths destroyed most of the Roman army, and unfortunately, our beloved emperor, Valens. Why would the Goths do such a thing? Maybe you should ask the army officials who have mistreated the Goths over the years. It’s too late, because those officials are dead too. After Valens death, the Goths were declared the only independent barbarian tribe in all of the empire. With Valens dead, part of the army destroyed, and independent barbarians, is Rome really going Goth? Supports For Less By: Anthony P. What are supports? Supports are arches just made by our roman architects. Arches are big and made with concrete. We the architects say that we are planning to use them to make aqueducts that are more efficient. Why did they make them you might ask? They made them because they use less material but at the same time they are stronger then most supports. Arches have a “keystone” at the top of it to help spread the weight down the sides of the arch. We had started to built on December 10, 207BCE and will keep on building till September 11, 330 CE. Roman Peace: HAS IT BEEN GOOD FOR YOU? By: Nilam Thaker The Pax Romana. The Roman Peace or the, Pax Romana, had started in 27 BC during the time of our very own Emperor Augustus Caesar. The Pax Romana has gone through many of our emperors including the Julio-Claudian Emperors, the Army Emperors, and the Roman Times Flavin Emperors. It is the time-period when Rome was at total peace. Rome had no wars and life was going great. Rome has this timeperiod because they need the peace or the empire will collapse. The reason why Rome holds peace for so long is because the German’s had one the war with us so we couldn’t expand our empire past the Rhine River. This boundary caused lack of war in Rome, which is good. It kept overall peace and the start of the Pax Romana. This peace has kept Rome from falling and has given us strength and unity. Threat stopped Jesus Crucified AP Press There was a mass gathering at Golgotha today as manyviewed Jesus’ crucifixion. A while ago a man named Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles was hired by the chief priests to betray Jesus. At the Mount of Olives, Judas brought Roman soldiers to get Jesus, so he kissed him on the cheek to point him out. Jesus was then captured and tried by the priests for leading an uprising. They couldn’t prove him guilty but they still condemned him to death and brought him before Pilate who brought him to the people of Rome. They chose to crucify him; so Jesus had to carry his cross while wearing a crown of thorns and getting mocked by the people. He was then crucified, and people realized he was the Son of God. NERO ACCUSED OF FIRE By:Ben Duso Today, Nero the Emperor of Rome, son of Gnaeus Domitius was accused of lighting a massive fire. Today in 64AD his deranged rule must end. This fire has affected much of Central District and parts of the east and west regions. The main lead we have is that he believes he is a god and demands sacrifice. The most likely place he started this fire is by the butcher where pig fat and oil would be easily found and would only need to be lit over an open flame. HADRIAN PUTS THE BREAKS ON THE ROMAN EMPIRE AP Press Hadrian, a member of the five good emperors, stopped expanding the Roman Empire yesterday December 12,132 BCE He began building boundaries such as the 73 mile long wall known as “ Hadrians Wall” that stretches from sea to sea. Roman Times He built this wall in order to create boundaries for the empire. Also he built the pantheon ( a building that shows power ), which intimidated people. Hadrian also built roads, bridges, aqueducts, and temples. He had a great part in the success of the Empire. the Picts get over that! Although it took forever to build, I’m grateful there’s a wall, for now at least. It’ll probably topple in the next decade knowing government funding. From a Roman farmer in Britain. September III, CXXVI C.E., Roman News: Dictator Assassinated People Cheer By: Nick Got Picts? Get Wall! An editorial: Emmy Cairns Finally! I have waited years for the emperor Hadrian to do something about those insufferable Picts. They came through every year and destroyed my crops. So, naturally, I was ecstatic when a messenger arrived in CXXI C.E. saying Hadrian was going to build a wall that extended across the width of the whole island to keep the Picts out. Battalions of soldiers came to work and it only took five years of hard labor to build. Twenty feet high the walls and eight feet thick; I’d like to see Maniatis The former dictator of Rome Julius Caesar was assassinated yesterday March 15, 44 B.C.E. He was stabbed with the daggers of a group of Roman senators after he reduced their power. Caesar had just been appointed dictator for life. Recently he’d been getting criticism for his ambitions and plans for Rome especially by the senators of Rome. While some people are deeply sadden by this act most of Rome is ecstatic over this great act. This is certainly the best day in Rome. Roman Times From Slaves to Emperors: Christianity on the Rise? AP Press ROME- In a surprise move this morning, controversial Emperor Constantine adopted Christianity and made it legal. Throwing caution to the wind, he announced that he had seen a sign in the sky from the Christian God before riding into battle, and he himself has converted to this troublesome religion, after vowing to convert if the battle was won. A citizen, whose name will not be printed, said in an interview, “I can’t believe that an emperor could make such a drastic mistake. If this goes through, and the city is converted, I will bring my family to our country home. HMPH!” Another, a slave, says, “I’m so glad this change has been made! I knew Christianity would rise, but to have it rise so quickly is just great! Praise God! WOOHOO!” As you can see, there are mixed reactions among the people of Rome. In closing, Constantine may have gone a bit too far, but at least there’s one thing we can be sure of: 312 CE will be a year to remember! Has Constantine lost his marbles? Christian? By Anonymous Today, emperor Constantine shocked and appalled the entire empire by announcing that he not only was legalizing Christianity but also becoming Christian himself. Needless to say, this has angered many good Jupiter-worshiping citizens. How can they continue to worship the true gods of Rome when their leader s of praying to some silly criminal and his Dad? Constantine claims to have seen a “vision” of “god” and it helped him win the battle for power between east and west Rome. He also claims he saw that “vision” at around noontime. Clearly Constantine is completely out of his mind as everyone knows gods only send messages through stars. There are no stars at noontime. They are underneath the earth where they should be. This reporter thinks Constantine’s days are numbered, as Jupiter is sure to strike him down at any moment. A rep for Mr. Constantine could not be reached for comment. Augustus Caesar wins more than just a battle Roman Times AP Press Octavian Caesar, the son of Julius Caesar is only a 19year-old boy. Julius has just died and Marc Anthony takes over the eastern side of Rome and Octavian takes over the west. Octavian persuades the senate to declare war with Marc Anthony and Cleopatra. In 31 B.C. Octavian defeats Marc Anthony army and takes over the east. Marc Anthony last stand fell in Actium, Greece. Marc Anthony and Cleopatra could see no escape, so they committed suicide. Octavian did all this to become emperor of Rome and he succeeded, Octavian was named Augustus Caesar when he became emperor. Our Caesar is Dead! AP Press A tragic event has struck our fair city of Rome on this day, two days after the ides of March, with the death of our glorious emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Today as a tribute to a great, ruler, statesman, philosopher, and man we will re-cap on the major events of his life to build his legacy. Born eleven days after the ides of March in 121 to a respected and noble family he, along with Lucius Verus, is adopted by the emperor to be Antonius Pius. On the event of Pius’s death in 161 Marcus takes the throne with Verus as his coemperor, but Verus dies soon after in 169. Aurelius had been raised with a firm belief in stoic philosophy making him a very humane and moral person. Although he was obviously against all wars and conflict, soon after he took the throne the frontiers were stormed by the German tribes to the north and the Parthian nomads to the east and Aurelius knew it was his duty as emperor to repel all aggressors and with a righteous cry and Roman steel he drove back the invaders and restored peace within the empire. Tragically, the emperor soon took ill and retreated back to his palace in Rome and, today, has died of his sickness. Although the man Roman Times has died we can trust that his ideals will live on in his successor and son, Commodus who is quite the fan of the gladiatorial games. This shock to the empire is bound to cause great disorder and perhaps even civil war in the empire but this scribe is certain that the gods will see fit to bless us with another emperor as Magnificent and kind as the one that has just passed to his reward.
