I went into the spring of 2016 semester taking on too much, too many classes, too many hours at work, and too many charity events with my fraternity of sigma tau gamma.

Sulla essentially ended the days of Republican loyalty, “Rome, with the Senate at the head, could no longer command the allegiance of Romans.” Veterans that fought for Sulla…

(p.46-47 Tacitus) The Germans wore loose fitting garments and the only to distinguish the nobility from the presents was by the tighter clothing that they wore. Like in the Agricola in the Germany Tacitus used his writing to illustrate to the reader how other less civilized cultures and even members of their own culture were holding themselves to a…

The Contradiction of Brutus Despite his primary goal to prevent Rome from falling into the hands of a dictator who would ruin Rome from the inside out, Brutus himself ironically acts like a totalitarian, tyrannical, despot. Even though Brutus meets up with the other patricians planning to kill Caesar because of his threat as a king, Brutus ironically acts like a king when he overrides the other’s ideas to enforce his own logic. When Cassius confronts him in the second scene, Brutus first reveals…
