The Roman Legion was made up of 5000 soldiers (exclusively Roman citizens) in infantry and cavalry.


The three Punic Wars (264 - 146 BCE) were fought between Rome and Carthage. 


The First Punic War (264 - 241 BCE) saw a series of naval battles for the control of Sicily with the Roman victory.


The Second Punic War (218 - 201 BCE) started with the Carthaginian general Hannibal attacking Rome from North after crossing Spain and the Alps.  Rome was once again, able to keep the enemy out and win the war.


The Third Punic War ((149 - 146 BCE) when the city of Carthage burned down and destroyed.  50,000 people left were sold as slaves and Carthage was added to the provinces of the Roman Empire.


By the end of the second century there were over a million slaves in Italy (50,000 Carthaginians, 150,000 Greek POW, etc.).  


This contributed to the economic and social changes.  The small farmers after fighting battles, couldn’t pay their debts.  They moved to Rome.  Their farms were lost to the aristocrats who had slaves working for them. The big farms expanded as massive estates called latifundia.

Matteo Scotto 4/18/20 Living in a time of crisis changes certain people but not everyone. People that rely on social interaction are having a harder time than people that would prefer to stay home by themselves. I do think most people will cheat, but with certain questions, you really can’t. For instance, you can’t cheat with this assignment because it asks for your specific thoughts on the matter. I think with schedules it is harder for students to do work because we have to be online whenever our teachers want us to be online. It used to be that the teachers were on our schedule, but now we have to be on their schedules, ready to take the assignments. I believe the workload is becoming heavier than it used to be because the teachers are trying harder to help their students with teaching, and so they have to give more assignments since they can’t give lectures.

Matteo Scotto 4/16/20 1) How did Plato define The Forms? Plato defined them as the ideal versions of the things and concepts we see around us. 2) Who are the three groups in Plato’s ideal society? Producers, Military, and Leaders. 3) What were Plato’s thoughts on women? Plato was inconsistent with his thoughts on women. He thought they were equally able to rule but also thought they were similar to children and their womb was an alive animal that would move around the body and cause illness. 4) What was the Noble Lie that Plato proposed? The Noble Lie that Plato proposed was that we're all is born with gold, silver, or a mixture of brass and iron in our souls. This would determine our roles in life.
