to 1650 A.D. Columbus did not find the Americas. Therefore, he should not have been given credit for finding the Americas when he did not even have the knowledge to know he was really in Americas, not Asia. Giving the credit to Columbus is quite frankly unfair to Native Americans and should be a rather disappointment to the United States human society. It has been said that Columbus “proved the world is round.” Educated peoples in Europe already knew the world was a sphere about more than 1,500 years before Columbus was born. He thought he could reach Asia by sailing west from Europe, taking approximately 12,000 miles.
A point for important trade routes, it became a place for trading towards the inland. Up until the middle of the 5th century B.C., the Etruscans dominated the city politically. In the course of the 6th century B.C., terracottas, ceramics and architecture also document the influence of Greek culture. The Romans defeated the Samnites, and Pompeii became part of the emerging Roman state. Pompeii joined the Italic revolt against Rome, the Social War of 91-87 B.C., and was crushed by Sulla.

Max Brazelton Int. Latin 1 Gallic Wars Paper When Caesar's year as consul expired in 58 BC, he assumed the proconsulship of Cisalpine Gaul and Gallia Narbonensis, or, as it was originally known, Provincia, after which the Provençal region in southern France is named. There, removed from Rome and the intrigues of his opponents in the Senate, Caesar commanded an area that extended from the Alps to the Pyrenees and north almost to Lake Geneva, as well as the provincial legions that would give him the wealth and fame that came of conquest, and the military support upon which his political survival depended. Narbonensis became increasingly Romanized under Caesar and, when he writes in the Bellum Gallicum that Gallia est omnis
POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM Stages of Occupation 1. Oscans o Both Pompeii and Herculaneum were believed by Strabo to have been founded by the Oscans 2. Greeks o Greeks did not use Pompeii as a permanent settlement, only used for trading 3. Etruscans o Etruscans established Capua which became leading city in Campania o It has been suggested by some scholars that the growth of Pompeii was associated with Etruscan civilization in southern Campania 4. Samnites o Etruscan power in Campania collapsed after their defeat by a coalition of Greek cities at the second battle of Cumae in 474 BC o The vacuum left by the Etruscans was filled by the Samnites from the harsh mountains
The Romans initiated the First Trajanic War. Six legions, led by praetorian prefect Cornelius Fuscus crossed the river Danube into Tapae, Dacia. The First Battle of Tapae started. I once again defeated them, and left Cornelius’s severed head in the Danube to float upstream to serve as a warning. The people in turn named me as King.
Between 58 and 51BC a series of military campaigns, known as the Gallic Wars, were waged in Gaul by the Romans, under the lead of Gaius Julius Caeser. As a member of the first triumvirate of rulers of the Roman republic, Julius Caeser held the consulship ship of a number of provinces including two in southern France. By this time the Roman republic already held great sway in Gaul, with many tribes trading with Rome and looking to the Romans for assistance in disputes with neighbouring tribes. This has since been seen as clever politics as by siding with individual tribes they systematically disposed of their troublesome enemies. In 58BC the Helvetii tribe of Eastern Gaul began to encroach on the lands of the Aedui, Ambarri and Allobroges tribes.
