For he will always be there.

He hears us pray

And he comes our way.

Praise the Lord!

He loves to roll in bog

He likes to be a dirty dog

One day he came home

And he had cow poop all over him

Everyone avoided him

I buzzed him clean and then

He did it all over again

Niko is a special dog!

The first thing that Constantine did was to bring Christianity back into the empire. When he was about to fight a war one day, Constantine had a dream. A voice told him to ride into battle with a cross painted on his shield. Constantine recognized the cross as the Christian cross and he was forever changed. He ended up winning the war and established Christianity throughout Rome with a law called the Edict of Milan which forbade anyone to persecute Christians. This law stayed in place until the end of the empire.

The second thing that Constantine did was to bring the empire back together in a war. After he won the war there was a very much needed peace in the empire.

The third thing that Constantine did was to reestablish the capital of Rome in Constantinople. This made the empire more balanced and spread out. Constantinople is now modern day Istanbul.

Constantine was a very successful emperor. He was not power hungry and improved Rome in a lot of ways.

Hadrian traded a lot and made sure other countries were at peace. He had the support of the people and senate for all twenty-one years of his reign. Another thing he is famous for is The Wall of Hadrian, it is the wall that separates the neighboring country from Italy. He also brought beards back into fashion. All emperors after Hadrian wore beards.

Hadrian was one of the best emperors in Roman history.

Paris is a beautiful romantic place, so I think it is one of the best places to live.

David had won God’s own heart so the Lord did not want the line of David to parish. Therefore, he gave the Kingdom of Judah to Solomon, David’s son. Judah lasted much longer than Israel because the Kings sinned more in Israel than in Judah.

Judah was preferred by our Lord because of David. David was arguably the best King of Israel because of his faithfulness to the Lord.

Judah is my favorite Godly kingdom.

Egyptian architecture consisted of statues that were often made of gold and limestone. The Egyptians made them because they wanted to honor their Gods and Pharaohs. Another form of architecture they used was pyramids, temples, and sphinxes built with limestone and a protective coating. Sphinxes were the same as pyramids except they took on the shape of an animal. Temples were built to help the people to pray to their Gods, but they were also rooms where mummification took place. You might ask the question ‘’what does this have to do with the afterlife”? The pyramids, the sphinxes, and the temples are all home to the Mummy where they resurrect.

The burial process was an important part of the afterlife because they wanted to preserve the body well for the afterlife. The body was laid on a table, then the brain was removed through the nose and discarded. The liver, stomach, intestines, and heart were placed in separate canopic jars. The body was covered in a special salt/soil found by the Nile and left for up the seventy days before wrapping in muslin and put in a coffin.

Egyptians belief in the afterlife prioritized their actions and culture to prepare for resurrection.

The Roman Games were one of the most violent and exciting entertainment of all time. We will be talking about chariot racing and gladiator fights.

Chariot racing was one of the hardest competitions in Rome. People came from all over to watch the races and cheer on their favorite competitors. The Circus Maximus was a huge chariot racing track in Rome that drew thousands of people. The competitors would line up and do a certain amount of laps to win. If a chariot was turned over or a horse was injured, they were pulled off the track.

The Colosseum was another famous entertainment center in Rome. The games were held two times a day, the first games were held in the morning and the competitors would parade around the ring and hold ‘’hunts’’ in the ring. In the second games gladiators fought one another. There are multiple types of gladiators which where fashioned as Rome’s enemies.

I think Romans entertainment was very cruel, but it does remind us of human nature and how we can learn from Rome’s mistakes.

The people of Rome were very keen on fashion and how they looked. The people always tried to keep up with the latest fashion.

Fashion in Rome depended on what the Emperor and his wife wore. If you were a wealthier person you could keep up with the latest fashion trends. If you were poor you didn’t prioritize fashion. Clothes usually consisted of a tunic and a toga for men. Women usually wore a tunic under a robe like a piece of cloth called a stola. They also wore a scarf like piece of cloth over their hair called a palla. Types of cloth varied from wool and linen, to fabrics like silk and velvet. Fabric choice would depend on how rich or poor you were. Shoes usually were leather sandals. Boots were worn by soldiers in the military or for people who worked on the farm. However, accessories consisted of any rings, necklaces, earrings, and brooches. Roman women had beautiful hairstyles, braiding, and hair clips studded with precious gems.

Roman fashion was a very important part of Roman culture and civilization.
