Class 4/9, Test

Today in class we took our test to wrap up the Ancient Greece and Cultures of the Mountains and the Seas units. I thought the test was kind of hard but I felt that I knew most of the stuff on it. There were only a few that I was not sure about so overall I'm feeling pretty good about the test. Then afterwards we had some notes to take on our next unit about ancient Rome.
Notes:

• Ancient Rome and Early Christianity (500 BCE- AD 500)
• Power and Authority- Rome began as a republic, a government in which elected officials represent the people. Eventually, absolute rulers called emperors seized power and expanded the empire
• Empire Building- At its height, the Roman Empire touched three continents (Europe, Africa, Asia). For several centuries, Rome brought peace and prosperity to its empire before its eventual collapse
• Religious and Ethical Systems- Out of Judea rose a monotheistic religion known as Christianity. Based on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, it soon spread throughout Rome and beyond.
