There are so many visions no just in this narrative but throughout the whole document. How did people in ancient times believe if the visions were true or will come true?

God and Jesus Christ had the ultimate power in the bible which would be never ending and go on forever.

If they were unworthy to recount this information then what type of person would've been worthy enough to write it down and put it into words.

I think this is quite interesting to see Perpetua's opinion of her father. Many people would be lost because of their father's absence not comforted by it.

I think that this is fairly interesting. It reveals that all noises are important in the world. Each noise in the world is significant. I think that we neglect to think about these things.

I think that everyone judges in their own type of way. However, this is speaking of the non-Christians who judge the people.

I believe that this is telling us the Paul wrote 1 Corinthians. Appointed as an apostle, Paul was meant to share the Gospel.

God had the power to do anything. Just because man views something as weak doesn't mean that God does.

They seemed to be conservative people and didn't want to waste money. Not all people are like that, too many times people just throw out money without even thinking.

It's interesting to see that they referred to Christians in this way. They classify them as a type of group, where now in society, we can be people who have "Christian" beliefs.

Would this mean that they were referring to Sunday??

This is quite interesting. A lot of times the government will raise taxes to meet the cost of things.

It's interesting to see that Antonius blamed Augustus that the Republic wasn't restored. Most of the time, it seems like Augustus took it upon himself to be a dictator and restore the Republic.

This truly makes him seem self-centered especially since they had helped with August's campaign. I don't believe that the people were wrong in celebrating triumphs.

It sound like he really placed people such as soldiers so much lower than him. Although, they may not be in the same social class, they still deserve respect for defending and risking their lives.

Compared to the last document. This make's Augustus's dictatorship much more cruel and hostile. With his dictatorship, this document shows that he has so much power.

Overall, even though Augustus had a dictatorship, I believe he was a fairly good leader. He tried to restore the Republic which was of major importance in ancient times.

Augustus was also a leader of many changes, he conducted a census. He revised the Senate list. He did everything in his power to reestablish the Republic as best he could.

Augustus seems like a very militaristic leader. He over came people in battle. And he took wars by land and seas. He had a lot of power within his military.

Augustus sounds very prideful. He talks about acting on his on initiative and raising an Army where he brought liberty to the Republic.

Democracies back in ancient time were more people-centered.. The people had the power of approving and rejecting the laws. The government seems more focused on the people than the authority of powers.

Fines are still a way to condemn citizens even in today's time period. It's quite interesting to see the justice system in ancient times is somewhat similar to some of the rules we have today.

It's interesting to see that people had the power to declare punishments. In ancient history, it seems like people have more power than what we do today.

It's interesting to see that there is a balance between them all. It society today, we run more on a democracy, where the government is run by elected officials who are voted in by the people.

Was it really a smart idea of Romulus to abduct the maidens? Did he really gain the people's favor and respect?

I had never heard of the absence of women in the Roman State. What other things did Romulus have to deal with that he didn't focus on the fact that he would need more offspring for his community? Many would think if he is preparing for a bigger population he would have thought of this.

Romulus I believe was a leader focused on the future. He had the city increase it's extension to its walls. He was preparing for the future population so that it would be there before there was any overcrowding of the city. I think this is smart for the future because it's being productive for something the city might soon need.

It's interesting to see how Evander was respected as a leader for his knowledge but also for his mother. His mother was regarded as an interpreter of Fate. Did Evander have this interpretation skill like his mother?

This document also talks about how only the most capable were the ones who made laws. This however I don't believe is worded right. I believe that the people who make laws are the most capable but have the most power.

In this document, it also says there is no discrimination to what is worthy. During ancient times, there were quarrels just like there are in today's world. Many things had to be voted on because they couldn't agree.

I find it very false that there is no in justice in the elite. Think about politics in ancient times and now. It really comes down to how selfish they are and if they really are committed to their kingdom and their people or just getting whatever they want.

Giving advantages to the thieves and the poor is something that is relative not only in ancient times but our times as well. If we are able to think about it, it's very much like welfare only the poor people qualify for it.

"True it is that kings, possessing as they do all that heart can desire." In ancient times kings did whatever they wanted. They held high power and could pick what they do.

Darius talks about fearing nothing. I believe this is an important concept because I believe that fear is what determines a good leader and bad leader.

III. 80 also states about pride and envy leading to violence. I believe this is a very true statement. Pride and envy get the best of many leaders in ancient history.

lll. 80 states "while envy is so natural to mankind." I agree with this because it's a trait that comes out in everything.

I think that it is very interesting to see that sequence of participants in the procession changed. It's not always the same. Even though processions were the center of these festivals, they can always change just like the events of the festival.

How much of a grammatical difference was the procession if it was told in the classical age period? Were the changes is writing significant compared to the changes in writing we have today?

"Clothing and positions defined women as highly honored members of the procession." It is quite fascinating to see how this is tied to the detailed work on Athena's robe. This festival isn't focused on the male power which is the opposite of what most festivals focus on.

This is saying that not every assumption we make about history is right. Many times we assume that what goes on in an event because of pictures and writings, But, if we never really experience it for ourselves we have no idea what really goes on.

Achilles and Agamemnon remind me a lot of the political government today. They both lash out on each other fairly consistently and numerous times nothing is accomplished from it.

Agamemnon also had power, he shot back at Achilles in lines 203 and 304. But he also said he will never beg people to take his side or to do him honor.

Achilles may not have been a great leader, but he did have some substantial power. In line 87 he is ordering an explanation about Apollo's anger.

Achilles was a horrible leader, it said he was murderous and doomed and that led to the death of countless Acheaeans. Achilles doesn't sound at all like a good leader.

I the document, it state that Odysseus and his men were doomed by Zeus. What gave them the power to keep trying to fight? Did they gain anything when they escaped?

Odysseus does pay respect to the many men that had died. Not all leaders would do this. Odysseus wouldn't leave until they paid tribute to the companions they had lost.

Although Odysseus may have not been a god leader, it is interesting to see that when we sacked a rich haul offered it to others. Most leaders would've kept it compared to him who shared it so no one would go deprived of his fair share of spoils.

On 212 is sounds like Odysseus wasn't such a great leader. He had gone through pains that the gods had given him. He also says his home was far from there. Did he really have any power to become a good leader?

Alexander left the supernatural influence of God and appointed his priests to tell his future and make sacrifices and cleanse his wrong doings for him.

Diffident means shy and Alexander lost his drive to be completely devoted to God. Alexander is proving more to be a leader than a follower of God.

I think this is what happens in society today. Too many times we always worry about who's famous that we forget the small acts of kindness and compassion other people are doing around the world.

Plutarch is writing this not because of history but to tell the stories of a person's life. When someone is mentioned in history we may only know their name and not their story.

I thin the Thucydides is telling us the the antagonists were anti-war.

Thucydides has a really good point here, all conclusions cost something, whether it's time or money.

I believe that everybody receives traditions differently and sometimes traditions are held to higher standards for every family.

I believe that every document has this. Even though we might agree on most parts, there is still speculations that do arise while we read any document.

Although the laws of Solon were gone it's important to see the Cleisthenes did his part as leader to help preserve the goodwill of the masses.

I think this is very important that they didn't have to change religious views based on their leader. They were allowed to follow ancestral customs.

I think this is very important that they didn't have to change religious views based on their leader. They were allowed to follow ancestral customs.

Cleisthenes was trying to combine different tribes together and merging the whole population into more tribes than just the existing four. It reminds me a lot of the "salad bowl" migration.

By having health, you are able to accomplish many different tasks. It is an honor because a person who has to worry about their health has no time for other things because health is their major priority.

He always was prepared to give a sacrifice. When consulting the gods, a sacrifice. Did the gods accept any pig for sacrifice or was it the best pig of the litter?

Each king was granted a gift of two mess-mates. But the document leaves out an definition of what type of people they were. Were they only there to service the king? What type of things did mess-mates do for the kingdom?

The Spartans were being trained to get used to battle conditions if they ever happened. He was trying to accustomed the bodies of the men which is a beneficial tactic so they were used to being somewhat hungry.

Having an unlimited supply of water was a luxury for them in assuming that those who lived far from the palace and not near the lake probably found water as a scarcity.

This could be beneficial because their feet could be used to running on different surfaces. However, this could result in many open wounds on the feet and could lead to infection.

I believe that Nature does make many things in vain. Although nature gives us many assets such a sunlight, air, water, we also have many destructive things such as tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

Homer see husbands as superior. And in this sense because husbands are elders they are the head of the household. This means that being the superior of the household, they share the law with their kids and wives. They are trying to portray a households who follow the same laws.

I believe in a sense this is true. However, each country is set up differently. No country has the same economics as the other countries. Many foreign countries are poor so their system would be set up the same as the U.S. but have different tiers of income that would represent their three elements.

I believe that the beginning of this statement is true. Most communities try to do their best to make some good in the world. Whether it is by small initiative or small community events, they try to better their community. The second part of the sentence has different meanings for people. "Mankind always act in order to obtain that which they think good.", can mean two different things. Based on a society someone can act in a way that we think is moral such as doing good deeds and being respectful, but on the other hand there are society in which killing is acceptable as way of life.

Men were raised in the since that they should look after their wives. They were supposed to do their best to make he happy. Their goal was to display their love to their wives. Was the ancient way of displaying love similar to what we have today or is is very different?

Invariable means to never change. I don't agree with this sentence in the document because I believe that justice changes. Whether it's making new laws or creating harsher punishments on laws, I believe that the justice systems changes. It many not be changed as quickly as other perspectives of the government, but it still changes.

Impassive means to be straight-faced. I believe this is saying that the better of the two is someone who is straight-faced because you are not able to see their thoughts on a certain matter, they are simply in-between. It would be harder to find out what their actual opinions on things are.

During this time period emeralds were very rare to find. This meant that good words were ever rarer. I believe that this part meant that their society was harsh and cruel. Many different societies have different ways of treating each other. Some treat others with respect, others treat with cruelty.
