Christianity in Pax Romana

Most of what we know about Jesus' life came from the 4 Gospels. Jesus was a Jewish teacher and was not widely known except for people who heard him speak and were moved by his words. Jesus said we must strive to be perfect for God, but we cannot be perfect and that God shall forgive us if we try hard and are on the right track. People in Rome were getting their land taken away and could not find jobs because there where so many slaves. Jesus hung out with prostitutes and tax collecters, people that society didn't like, but Jesus said that they were worth something. Jesus gave these people rights and respect. Jesus' people believed that he was the true "Messiah" who came to bring the worthy into the kingdom of heaven. Jesus was killed for claiming he was the Messiah and rose 3 days later. Paul spreaded the word of Jesus after he was knocked off his donkey and Jesus told him to stop persicuting his people and became blind. When Paul agreed to stop, Pauls sight was restored and Paul became a follower of Jesus.

The Latins gave us our alphabet, they came to Rome first. They should rule becasue they were in the perfect location. Tarquin was the last king of Rome, old school type tyrant. He was harsh to the people and not very fair. The Romans loved how the Greeks did things, they modeled almost everything the Greeks did. They decided to get rid of the whole monarchy. Romans moved to democracy. They combined everything together to make respublica (latin for the people's job), combination of 3 governments. They formed the senate, 300 people, they made laws and interprated laws. There were a lot more common people than the rich people. When they first formed the government, it was the rich people ruled everything, rich people on knew the laws and the common people were punished because they didnt know the laws, the common people did the 12 tables and fought against the rich to tell the and keep them informed about the laws. The 12 tables was almost like the 10 ammenments, but it told the common people what the rules were and what the punishments were if they broke a law. The romans liked the idea of a monarchy, but they didnt like how they couln't kick someone out. the common people could veto, the senate elected new people every year.
