1. Julius caesar was convinced something had to change. Rising through the political ranks, he eventually became governor of Gaul. This gave him the chance to make lots of money, while his abilities as a general brought him power and respect. 2.The hereditary rule. For most of this period, emperors were not chosen on the basis of their ability or honesty, but simply because they were born in the right family. 3.Emperors had no elections or term limits, no early retirement or pension plans. It was a job for life, so if an emperor was mad, bad or dangerous, the only solution was to cut that life short. Everybody knew it, so paranoia ruled. 4.women in ancient Rome were valued mainly as wives and mothers.

1. Jlius Caesar was convinced something had to change. Rising through the political ranks, he eventually became governor of Gaul. This gave him the chance to make lots of money, while his abilities as a general brought him power and respect.
2. Why was the first century so turbulent? The first answer is simple: hereditary rule. For most of this period, emperors were not chosen on the basis of their ability or honesty, but simply because they were born in the right family.
3. Emperors had no elections or term limits, no early retirement or pension plans. It was a job for life, so if an emperor was mad, bad or dangerous, the only solution was to cut that life short. Everybody knew it, so paranoia ruled.
4. women in ancient Rome were valued mainly as wives and mothers.
5. For rich life was good. They lived in beautiful houses – often on the hills outside Rome, away from the noise and the smell. They enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle with luxurious furnishings, surrounded by servants and slaves to cater to their every desire. Many would hold exclusive dinner parties and serve their guests the exotic dishes of the day. And the poors however, could only dream of such a life. Sweating it out in the city, they lived in shabby, squalid houses that could collapse or burn at any moment. If times were hard, they might abandon newborn babies to the streets, hoping that someone else would take them in as a servant or slave. Poor in wealth but strong in numbers, they were the Roman mob, who relaxed in front of the popular entertainment of the time – chariot races between opposing teams, or gladiators fighting for their life, fame and fortune.
6. Gladiators were free men that fought bloody with each others until the other side die in the arena.
7. Chariot races took place in the Circus Maximus, a huge, oval shaped stadium that could seat nearly 200,000 spectators. The stadium had two long parallel sides and one rounded end with seating all around. The other end was filled with stables and starting boxes.
8. The two writers were Petronius and Juvenal.
9. In Latin, “religio” means “something that binds.”

Ans 1. Julius Caesar was the military general who was largely responsible for changing Rome from a republic to an empire. Ans 2. The Roman emperors were chosen by birth in the right family. They were not chosen on the basics of their ability or honesty, but simply because they were born in the right family. Ans 3. Emperors had no elections or term limits, no early retirement or pension plans. It was a job for life. Ans 4. Women were not allowed to be active in politics. They received only a basic education. However, by the first century AD women had much more freedom to manage their own business and financial affairs. A woman could own, inherit and dispose of property. female slaves were common and filled a huge variety of roles, from ladies’ maids to farm workers, and even gladiators. Ans 5. Rich: For wealthy romans, the life was so good. They had beautiful houses. They enjoyed their lives. They had a lot of servants. Many wealthy Roman would hold exclusive dinner parties and serve their guests the exotic dishes of the day. Poor: Poorer Romans, however, could only dream of such a life. Sweating it out in the city, they lived in shabby, squalid houses that could collapse or burn at any moment. If times were hard, they might abandon newborn babies to the streets, hoping that someone else would take them in as a servant or slave. Ans 6. Gladiators were the people who were sent to the games of death with their own unique weapons. Ans 7. Chariot races took place in the Circus Maximus, a huge, oval shaped stadium that could seat nearly 200,000 spectators. Ans 8.
