We learned that poet Juvenile said the people anxiously hope for two things whih are bread and circuses. The bread was free food they could eat, given from the state, and the circuses were for their entertainment. These 2 things were given to the people just so they can stay alive and keep quiet. We also learned about Julius Ceaser who was a very successful genera who conquered the huge territory of Gaul. He lived from100-45 BCE. He made friends with 2 important men in this time in history. Pompey was a general who conquered Syria and Palestine. The second man was Crassus who was the richest man in Rome, and the richest man in all history. These three men formed the very first Triumvirate ("rule of three me").
