Emperors of Rome.

      In this class we learned about Roman Emperors. We learned about Tiberias who was a bad ruler. He had Coligulas two older brothers killed and killed other political rivals. He got sick of Rome and went away to a little island to hide away. He had weird things he liked, most related to sex. He was pretty much a sick person. Once his ruled ended he handed the empire over to Caligula. He was a bipolar ruler who made bad decisions and even killed a priest. He also stopped in the middle of a war to pick up seashells. He was a Jew hater and discriminated them. He even built a statue of himself in a Jewish church. Finally Claudius was a not very graceful person who many people made fun of. Eventually he became emperor. He was nice to citizens and even conquered Britain. His weak spot was his wife though and she cheated on him with other men. We will review on tuesday.
