Reno erat Rudolphus
Nasum rubrum habebat;
Si quando hunc videbas,
Hunc candere tu dicas.

In ludis non ludebant.

Santus Nicholas dixit
Nocte nebulae,
"Rudolphe, naso claro
Nonne carum tu duces?"

Tum renores clambant,
"Rudolphe, delectus es?
Cum naso rubro claro
Historia descendes!"

Who? Archimedes

Archimedes was an ancient Greek

mathematician, physicist, engineer,

inventor,and astronomer. He was a leading scientist in his days, and was responsible forexplaining the lever and many inventions. He gave a very accurate approximation of

pi. He figured out that you could find out

the density of something by placing the object in water.

He also invented a revolving screw/cylinder that was

pumped by hand to move water uphill. It is still used. He

invented a weapon that lifted enemy ships up in the air andsunk them, which has been proved to work. He showed

us many things that help us live our lives today.

Famous Woman #9

Antigone was a princess. She should have had a great life, but unfortunately, that life was not what not in the cards for her. Her mother committed suicide, and her father gouged his own eyes out. Antigone traveled with her father, and became his eyes. When her father died, Antigone's uncle, Creon, became their guardian. Her brothers started fighting over the kingdom when they were growing up, and eventually killed each other. Creon now ruled, and he wanted to leave Antigone's brother's body out to rot. He also ordered that whoever tried to bury it would be killed. Antigone, who is in love with her cousin (Creon's son), decides to go bury her brother. She buries him, but a guard sees her and reports her to Creon. Antigone is sentenced to death by stoning, and before that can happen, she kills herself. Her cousin that she is betrothed to sees her dead, and kills himself. Then Creon's wife, when finding out her son is dead, kills herself.

To punish her, all of Ethiopia was going to be ravaged by Cetus, a sea monster sent by Poseidon.

Tarquinius, the king of Rome, and Tarquinius the 6th was the son of the evil tyrant. Lucretiam the 6th, who's wife was Collatini, was raped, a good woman, because of her great love of virtue, killed herself. Ancient Romans always praise the virtue and heart of Lucretiae and blame Tarquinios.

Why? The Latin on the Dollar Bill

Charles Thomson, one of the founding fathers, came up with Novus Ordo Seclorum as the motto. He said that the translation wasn't why, it was the signification.

What? Famous Woman #7

Sabina was married to Hadrian, an emperor. They were very unhappy, and some people say that was because Hadrian was gay. There are accounts that Sabina actually went with Hadrian to see his male lover. This is also exemplified by the fact that they never had children, and she aborted one, saying that they should not carry on the human race. Sabina died from unknown causes before him, although foul play was ruled out, as he had nothing to gain from her death.

Who? Octavius/ Augustus

Octavius was a man of great power. He was the nephew of Julius Caesar, and a part of the triumvirate that ruled Rome. His other triumvirs were Lepidus and Marc Antony. After the triumvirate fell apart, Octavius kept ruling Rome. When he was ruling, they called it a time of Pax Romanus, meaning roman peace. This didn't include small areas of fighting, that didn't have very much significance. He ruled until death, and was never even thought to have been overthrown.

Where? Roman Forum

The Roman Forum has been in existence since the beginning of Rome itself, according to legend. Romulus and his enemy Tiatius formed an alliance. It was the middle ground, and they could meet there. It has served as a town square and a place for justice and faith. It has remained a very important part of Rome for centuries.

Boudicca was the queen of Iceni. Her husband was the ruler of an English tribe. When he died, the Romans decided that they could finally break the alliance and try to take over the tribe. When she protested, her daughters were beaten and raped. She called her men to battle, and they slaughtered many towns worth of Romans, without taking prisoners. They burned the towns to the ground. They were finally taken down, and Boudicca poisoned herself so she wouldn't be captured. She is considered a hero in Britain.

Who? Martial

Martial seems like a very risqué writer, as well as a risqué person. He had a lot of wealthy friends that he used to publish his book, buy his clothes, and buy him food.

He is described as a witty man, and seems a bit pompous and well to do.

Why? Our Marriage Ceromonies

Our marriage traditions mostly come from ancient Roman ceremonies. The white dress and veil came from them, as well as the ring finger. However, we have very distinct differences. Girls did not choose their husbands, their fathers did. Also, girls got married when they were 14. We also get the busiest month for marriages from the Romans, they chose June because it was lucky. There was much more power for a woman in Rome than in Athens, so after marriage, they could make many more decisions.

Where? Catacombs

The Catacombs of ancient Rome were used as burial places for Christians. Before Jesus, they were cremated, but after his death, they needed a place to bury the bodies. You were not allowed to bury people within the city limits of Rome, so they chose places outside the boundaries. They were built along at least 40 roads. The bodies were dressed in cloth and oils, and they had their name, date of death, and a religious symbol in their clothing.

Why? Kronos ate his children

Kronos ate all of his children, excluding Zeus. His wife, Rhea, fed him a rock wrapped like a baby instead of Zeus, which came to be his downfall. He ate them because he was afraid that the prophecy that one of his children would come true. Eventually, Zeus did kill him, cutting him up and rescuing his eaten siblings.

What? Famous Woman #5

Agrippina the Younger was the only daughter of Agrippina the Elder and Germanicus. When she returned from exile, she was reunited with her son. She flirted with the future emperor, Galba, after her husband died. He wasn't interested, and remained loyal to his wife. Once, in public, his mother-in-law actually slapped Agrippina and reprimanded her. Eventually, she was married to a man named Crispus, who, besides being rich and influential, seemed to have the perfect personality. However, he died, which left Agrippina very rich. She then married Claudius, her uncle, and after he died, became empress. Nero, her son, was too young to rule, so Agrippina took over for him. He resented it, and she was stripped of all power when she was 55.

Where? The Circus Maximus

The Circus Maximus was originally built for chariot races, but grew to be the center of entertainment in Ancient Rome. Processions, gladiator fights, animal hunts, and athletic competitions were held there as well. There were over 100 races held there every day. The horses were kept over a mile away, which is why there were not more. There was room for 12 chariots to race at once. Many times, there would be huge crashes, and at least on person would die. This was the height of entertainment in Ancient Rome.

Latin Mandatory?

I do not think that Latin should be a mandatory class. I personally love it, but I think that having people who don't taking it might ruin it. Also, the schedules would be packed, because people might want to take their other languages. Having big classes would also make it much more difficult to understand. I think that it should stay a language class, and you should have th choice to take it.

If there were people taking Latin that didn't enjoy it, it would turn into a terrible class. People not caring about memorization and not caring if they failed would bring down the morale of the class. There would not be an atmosphere of getting things done, which would discourage even the most dedicated student. Having people take it who genuinely want to do well helps people work better and get help from their classmates when the need it, which couldn't happen with people who would rather e anywhere else.

Adding another class to people's schedules would make the school day that much more hectic. I don't have any days where my free mods are 4 or more, so I have no idea how i could add another class to my schedule. I think that it would add much more stress, especially because there is nightly homework. This would make people not try in this class or their others, which could bring down the GPA of many students and hurt the school.

One of the most important reasons to me is the class sizes. If this was a mandatory class, our class would maybe have 20 people in it. Right now, we have 6. We are all getting to be very close, and the Latineers are like one small family. When we have questions about anything, not just Latin, we can go to each other and get help. All of that would go away if Latin was mandatory.

In conclusion, I think that causing Latin to be mandatory would really take away from the class. We should keep it as a language class, so we can keep enjoying our language of choice.

Julius Caesar Check

1) Explain the sig of Calpurnia's dream. Calpurnia had a dream that Caesar's statue fell, and the sky rained blood. Civilian's washed their hands in his blood. This showed that she had a premonition of him dying.

2) DId Caesar want to be king? He wanted to rule, but did not want to be widely recognized as a king. He refused crowns that were offered to him, but ruled well. He was in it for the country, not the recognition.

3) What was the great conflict for Brutus? Brutus was stuck between the responsibility he felt to his country to protect Rome from rulers like Caesar, and his love for Caesar (as a father figure). Either way, he was compromising his values.

Agrippina the Elder was an influential woman who was convinced her husband was poisoned. If she had let her suspicions show, the emperor could have been in serious trouble. When she went to a feast at the emperor's palace, she refused to eat and drink, causing a scandal. After that, it was only a matter of time before she was "taken care of". Eventually herself and her sons were exiled for going against the emporer, which caused Nero (one of her sons) to kill himself.

Why? Athena

Athena is my favorite goddess. She was mostly known for her wisdom, and was also very beautiful. She showed that women were not to be messed with as the goddess of war, and she was a symbol of power. She had her faults, this is true. However, she also was a proud and noble leader, and gives us something to strive towards. She shows that women are a sex to be trifled with.
