1.What was Antoninus Pius' reign like and why was the imperial power shared between his adopted sons, Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus? 2. Why would Emporer Nero commit suicide? Was the civil war and the rebellions really going that badly that he could not handle it?
1. What did the rulers stay in power for such a short time? Some were only in power for like 2 years. 2. Who was on the different sides of some of the civil wars? What were they about?
1. What was the Conflict of Orders? 2. What did Gaius Julius Caesar(Julius Caesar's grandnephew)do to earn the title Augustus? Why was he named the title Augustus?
1. Who was Nero? The reading does not make him sound all that bad, but then he committed suidide...? -I researched him, and these two links are particuarly helpful. Sites: http://www.roman-emperors.org/nero.htm
The first has information on his life, and the second has pictures. Answer: He was probably overwhelmed by being hated for the fire, killing his mom, and persecuting Christians.
2. Who was Julius Caesar? Why does history "love" him? Is the play correct (Shakespeare)? What was the deal with his wife, Cleopatra?
1) Was there actually a time when they "started building" Rome? Romulus and Remus had their fights and the city was already existing at that point right? "From its inauspicious beginnings as a small cluster of huts in the tenth century B.C., Rome developed into a city-state," Was this beginning of small huts when Romulus took over as King?
2)How did all the emperors get assasinated? Was there a certain hatred that was passed on from parent to child that made people want to kill the Emperors? Didn't they think that if they murdered their Emperor things might become worse and unstable?
