Rome. This week, we begin our exploration of Rome, to begin we will be analyzing Pompeii, and discussing how it reflects mores and ideals of the people of imperial Rome. We will also be constructing a map of italy and the surrounding areas, as well as getting into high drama with Julius Caesar and Augustus.  Let's just say that as with many things the Greeks introduced it and the Romans ramped it up.
