I will be taking my test on June 2nd at 8:55-9:45. the poet Juvenal said Rome “anxiously hopes for two things: bread and circuses ” bread (free grain from the state) and entertainment (Circus Maximus, Colosseum), partly to keep them alive, and partly to keep them quiet, distracted, and docile military generals worked that angle - lead an army that conquers a land, then give them a share in the spoils soldiers’ loyalty was to their military leader, not necessarily to Rome or the Republic Serves as consul (one year) Appoints himself governor of Gaul Pompey is jealous, becomes his rival Caesar’s armies clash with Pompey’s in Greece, Asia, Spain, and Egypt (Caesar - winning!)

Rome burned Carthage's walls for 17 days and then took the remaining 50,000 people and turned them into slaves. They used boats in naval battles that Rome won.

Government

Their government was cruel because it was a tryannt and tryannts were a very cruel type of government and had very serious consequences for very little crimes that they may have done. And the Roman government had Patricians and they were in charge of making laws, dealing justice, and commanding the army. This is simular to our U.S. government because our leader is a president and they are in charge of making laws, dealing justice, and commanding the army. So they are pretty much the same because they have the same duties of each other.
