Acquiring this absolute power however, was no easy feat, and Caesar had well equipped himself through previous expeditions of Europe and the ancient world with all the resources necessary to gain power in Ancient Rome. One such "expedition" was Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul. On this expedition, Caesar went to great lengths to write a thorough book about his conquest, and to justify his expenditures to the Roman public and Senate. Through Gaul, Caesar found a way to acquire power and prestige for himself within the Roman political arena. It is debated however as to why Caesar wrote about Gaul, whether it be to bask in his glory of his nine-year campaign or to use as propaganda for the political upheaval he would soon mount against Rome.
By 46 B.C., through the military genius of Julius Caesar, Rome conquered most of the land surrounding the Mediterranean, which was most of the known world at that time. However, this expansion hurt Rome more than it helped Rome. The Romans had an ever changing government to meet the demands of a growing empire. At first Rome had harsh Etruscan kings, but they soon had enough of these cruel tyrants and eventually ran them out of Rome. In there place they created the Roman Republic, which was modeled after the Greek Democracy.
It is thought that it may have been written by a group of Jewish Christians, similar to Jesus, who were interested in building a network of Christian communities. It was written in Roman times, before there was a complete New Testament. The book is divided up into main sections, including the Two Ways document (Chapters 1-6, which concerns the topical issue of life and death), liturgical treatise, (Chapters 7-10, which deal with issues such as baptism and Eucharist), teachings on the organisation of the Church in Chapters 11-15, and finally, Chapter 16 deals with eschatological issues. The Didache is important to us, as Christians today, because it shows a way of life that all Jesus-followers should pursue. It is a handbook of worship and Church practise, from which we learn of the views of the early Christian church, and how they interpreted Scripture.
All the money that comes in though goes to a small elite family of people in Carthage while in Rome the Plebeians have already started to get more money power and say in the government. The Roman government is better organized but in Carthage the generals and military is better because the military and government are separate while in Rome the politicians are the generals. The war is going to start over and in the island of Sicily. This begins a trend of Rome not starting wars but finding good excuses for the enemy to start a war. Carthage is taking over Sicily and Rome has recently won they’re war over the Greeks.
The victor would have control over the entire Mediterranean Sea and all of the trade routes bringing land, pride, wealth, and dominance over the victors enemies. Hannibal took a 1,000 mile trek from New Carthage, Spain, through the Alps, Northern Italy, and finally to Carthage. Hannibal won most of his battles with Rome, but never got the reinforcement he needed to over take Rome. The men that he had with him at the time were renowned for their loyalty to Hannibal and unconventional fighting tactics. Their Gorilla type war fair or wars of delaying almost saw the defeat of Rome but Rome finally assimilated these new tactics and used them against Hannibal, the man who had taught them to
MY QUESTION WAS: How do crustaceans obtain oxygen and what do they eat? The largest member of the arthropod family is the subphylum (crustaceans). Shrimps, crabs, lobsters, prawns, and barnacles are all examples of crustaceans. There are almost 30,000 species of crustaceans worldwide. They live in sea or fresh water.
Roman strategies allowed Rome to control their towns with ease. The Roman imperial army was undefeated in any major campaigns. Records have even shown Roman feats when they were outnumbered. The soldiers’ desire for recognition and promotion played a big factor in this of course. The soldiers would charge off to fight by enemy forts afraid of what the other men would think of them.
Romans 11 teaches about the last days and what Christians can expect during these times. Earlier in Romans 8 Paul explains the foreknowledge of God, predestination and the election of the saints. The strong debate of Calvinism vs. Arminianism is found in this passage as well. Whether the believer was called or if they responded to the call of God, the ultimate goal of justification and glorification of the believer is the main point that Paul is trying to get across to the Roman Christians. Beginning in chapter 12 Paul discussed how Christians are to live.
Olaf was a merchant sailor just like Jim when he was younger; the only problem with Olaf was the color of his skin and his intimidating size. While a merchant sailor, Olaf did not have a problem with what race his fellow sailors were on the ship. Jim’s sheer size and race set off his racial hatred towards Jim. Olaf feels helpless because of his age. Before Jim departs, he puts his hand on Olaf’s neck; Olaf thinks Jim will snap off his head any moment now.
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.
