Friday May 13

Today we finished the video in class, here are my notes:


  • In class we talked about Jesus and his message that was passed to Paul
  • Paul passed the message on to people and eventually more and more people started to pass it on

After the video we got in a group and observed Tiberius, Caligula, and Claudius.

Tiberius
  • Born in 42 BC
  • Roman Emperor from 14 AD to 37 AD
  • Augustus's step son
  • One of Rome's greatest generals
  • Lucius Sejanus served the imperial family and was a close friend to Tiberius
  • People say that the crowd rejoiced when Tiberius died
Caligula
  • Also known as Gaius 
  • Roman Emperor from 37 to 41 AD
  • Son of Germanicus who was a very successful general
  • People called him and insane tyrant
  • Brief reign
  • In early 41 he was assassinated
  • At 2 or 3 he accompanied his father Germanicus
  • Dressed Caligula in armor
  • His father was posioned
