Today in west civ we talked about the Baltimore Riots. we all got to share our opinions about the riot if we wanted to, to an extent. I think we should be talking more about this in school, so we get a better understanding of what is going on in the world.

Roman Expansion
   Allies and Colonies
- Rome was a military culture and made improvements to old Greek tactics. This made their army more affective
- When Rome conquered a neibohing territory, the extended Roman rights and absorbed them in the Roman culture
- Non- Romans in Italy, anxious to become a Roman citizen
Conquered an Empire
- Conquered provinces were ruled
- Tarquin- was a leader, the people didn't want him to get too powerful. (he was a tyrant) people ostazied him so that he couldn't have too much power
- Latin- res publica means in English the peoples business
- the Latin's come first to the Tibrer River

today in western civ we took our ancient Greece test. I thought this test was really hard if you didn't studied. if you did study it was probably easer. I studied and still found it hard. overall all I don't think I got an A but I don't think I did bad either.
