Goes with Emperor Document Walk: When you are finished, create a "facebook page" for at least two emperors using the handout provided in class.

You will have to get creative for this! The "History by year" should be a brief timeline of their life. For favorite quotations, find something that your emperor said.

Illustrating Imperial Rome
As Rome moved from republic to empire, how were the everyday people affected? What was it like to live in imperial Rome? What were the values of the people and how was the society organized?
– men and women
– children and education
– slaves and captivity
– gods and goddesses
– food and entertainment
• Your task is to create illustrations that represent each of these groups as it relates to life in imperial Rome. You can simply draw pictures or you can create a comic strip.
• Must represent ROME. For “men and women,” a drawing of a group of men beside a group of women is not enough since this lets us know nothing about the life of men and women in imperial Rome.
