May 10, 2019 Class

I kind of forgot what we did in class on Friday... But I have reason to believe that we were reviewing and I was taking notes. Anyway, an important thing to remember was that Maryland has eight representatives in the house of representatives (perhaps it is also important to mention that California has the largest amount of representatives with 55). Also, some important things to know about emperors after Caesar Augustus is who they were and their personalities. (Also, I should check out the rap again because I have yet to memorize it.)

Important emperors include:

• Tiberius (ruled from AD 14 to AD 37)
• At 77 years old, after the death of his son, he exiled himself from Rome and left his prfects in charge.
• Caligula (ruled AD 37 through AD 41)
• Known for his cruelty, extravagance, and perversity.
• All praetorian guards, Senators, and the imperial court teamed up to assassinate him.
• Claudius (ruled AD 41 to 54)
• Is thought to have had cerebral palsy.
• He would have been an even better leader if he did not have a barrier due to the disease(s) he suffered from.
• Died by poisoning (which was his last wife's plan to give the throne to her son, Nero).
• Nero (r. AD 54-68)
• Had an obsession with the arts.
• He wanted Rome to be the better version of itself by magnifying it with the use of art.
• Hugely overspent and even raided some Temples for money.
