History

Roman Empire (speech)   

statement: Rome was the strongest Empire in its time (for a long time actually)

                          

First slide

Rome was a huge empire: it spread from the bottom of Egypt all the way up to England. The empire did break down in the end, which I will tell you on the next three slides and now lies Rome in Italy all in ruins, but still there for everyone to see and see how they constructed compared to how we construct today.

Second slide

The Romans fought 2,567 battles and won 2,457 battles and lost 100 battles. Wow! That’s a lot of battles won. Most of the battles they lost were from when the invaders came. The Roman Empire did want to invade Germania, but it did not work, but at least they invaded a bit of it.

Third slide

The Romans conquered loads of countries that are other countries or just two countries merged together.The ancient countries were Numidia, Dacia, Thrace,  Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, Mauritania, Mesopotamia, Tripolitania, Pannonia, Illyrieum, Lycia, Arabia, Cappadocia, Iudaea, Crete, Hispania, Macedonia, Gallia, Egyptus, Judaea, Syria, Cyprus, Rhodes, Gracia, Britannia, Raetia, Noricum, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicilia, Tarraconensis, Bithynia, Galatia, and some of Germania.

Fourth slide

As you can see here the Romans were invaded by the Saxons, Huns, Visigoths, Franks, Goths, Vandals, Ostrogoths. All those against the great Roman Empire. The Vandals, Visigoths and the Ostrogoths all went to attack the capitol of Rome.

Fifth slide

Once you learned a trade it was understood by the Romans that you did it to serve them. Or if you joined the army it was known that you intended to serve them and you would have to fight in battle. If ever your unit retreated, you would all be turned into slaves so you would have to fight to the death and if you thought you could slip out of the camp, well it would not work so that was unlucky. So you had to think twice before you joined as there was no going back.

Sixth slide

Here is the legendary: it is the strongest unit of all Roman history. With only one word they would be in a formation. If you want to know all the units just ask me and I will give you a piece of paper telling you all thems. The Romans had pretty much at least 10 or 20 units in each army and they were so good that they always recruited extra men for the legendary.

Seventh slide

The gods. The gods were what the Romans just loved. They always spoke of the gods and they had gods for everything, like god of music, god of cows, fish boats but they also had their main gods. When you saved someone royal before they invited you to their house they would praise a god thinking that the god send you down to save them from robbers or bandits. And before they went to battle they praised the gods to do this or that to help them.

Eighth slide

The Colosseum. The Colosseum was a place everyone loved. They watched chariot racing, gladiators such as slaves fighting each other and a prisoner getting eaten by lions and tigers. When they watched gladiators and chariot racing they always did a bet with their money. If you did a good thing or were super helpful you would get award like 500 dollars or you get to go and get a free ticket to the games. And the best award was to get a free ticket to the games.

Ninth slide

Well the reason I put this image on is because if you were an enemy of Rome you were really dead like the Gallia and Hispania and Carthage. Just as you realised they all got destroyed by the Romans back then. Pretty much all the countries in the world hated the Romans. (Of course in its time and only the countries that knew the Romans).

Tenth slide

Latin. Latin was a very old language that the Romans used to speak to each other like we speak English to each other today. Even if loads of people say no one speaks Latin and no one will ever know how to again, well you're wrong. They have this thing called Modern Latin and they use a bit of it today in parts of the world such as France and Germany and Spain. Those countries don’t fully speak Ancient Latin, only a bit. That is why they don’t understand each other fully, but can understand the basic meaning of what each is trying to say.
