Simon the Zealot. The make-up of these two individuals shows how Jesus can build relationships. Matthew worked for Rome in the collection of Roman taxes while Simon the Zealot was an ardent Jewish nationalist. For the Simon the idea of paying taxes to Rome went against everything he believed. It would not be out of line to say that Simon the Zealot hated Roman tax collectors with a passion. The bringing together of these two men showed the power of Jesus to merge diverse people together. Jesus…

or a civilization, you have to understand its worldview, since all of its successes and failures are largely the product of the basic ideas that shape the society” (Sunshine, 2009, p. 16). Chapter two goes over how the “the Roman Empire is a paradox” (Sunshine, 19). The Roman Empire was the best of times and the worst of times.

The origin of the name Arthur remains a matter of debate. Some suggest it is derived from the Roman nomen gentile (family name) Artōrius, of obscure and contested etymology[2] (but possibly of Messapic[3][4][5] or Etruscan origin[6][7][8]). Some scholars have noted that the legendary King Arthur's name only appears as Arthur, or Arturus, in early Latin Arthurian texts, never as Artōrius (although the Classical Latin Artōrius became Arturius in some Vulgar Latin dialects). However, this may not…

Egyptian history. Dynasties implies that that particular group of rulers belonged to a single family. The dynasties are usually grouped together into different kingdoms (Old, Middle, and New). During the dynasties, power passed from one dynasty to another. A dynasty ruled until it was overthrown or there were no heirs left to rule. Each kingdom ended in turmoil either after a period of infighting or after being invaded. The earliest epochs of Egyptian history are usually referred to as the…

This saying is in Latin, a language that very few people actually do know, means “and you, Brutus?” or “you, too, Brutus?” In this essay I will be speaking on how I believe that Mark Antony had a better speech than Brutus, there are many reasons why, and I will go into greater detail in them, but for now,…

“The 12 Olympian Gods were begging for mercy.” This quote comes from a book found in a hidden cave. The book is believed to be written around the year 1000 B.C where most of mythological stories about the gods took place; but this story is nothing like we have found so far about the Greek Gods, Goddesses, and Titans, this story is about the human created god named Ale. Ale is said to be the reason why the Olympian gods stopped interacting with humans. Ale was never born, he was created by a…
