"The constitution of the Roman Republic made it a variety of democracy. Every adult male citizen, unless specifically disqualified, had a vote, and there was no formal exclusion of the poor. Free slaves could also vote. However, there were very practical barriers to fair and equitable voting in the popular assemblies. For example, all voting had to be conducted in Rome. Once Roman territory had expanded, it was mostly the well-to-do rural voters and their clients who could afford the time and expense to come to Rome to vote"

The direct democracy of Athens where all men could vote on the leaders
Over the course of a few weeks in 46 B.C., Caesar staged his four triumphs. n the Pontic triumph, Suetonius reported how in addition to the placards showing key battle scenes, a wagon was decorated with three simple words: Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I conquered). Rather than referring to a battle or event, Suetonius believed the phrase referred to the speed with which Caesar’s forces won.Also, parading captured foreign enemies before the populace was enthusiastically welcomed. As part of his triumph, Caesar paraded the vanquished leader of the Gauls through the streets of Rome and then had him executed on Capitoline Hill.
Which of the following claims best supports the text above?
A Triumph celebrated the citizens of Rome more than the generals who had earned them.
A triumph held the military general accountable for the lives lost in battle
A triumph was a celebration in Rome after numerous lost battle to increase the citizen's faith in the military general
A triumph celebrated the military general as if he was "king for the day" and displayed the general's greatest accomplishments
In addition to the processions, Caesar spared no expense for grand entertainments for the Roman people. Appian described the action: [Caesar] put on various shows. There was horse-racing, and musical contests, and combats. as well as an elephant fight with twenty beasts a side and a naval battle. Caesar generously rewarded his troops with 20,000 sesterces (Roman coins)—far beyond what they would have earned in a lifetime. He also gave a magnanimous sum of 400 sesterces to every citizen, and distributed food.
The most important long term effect of Julius Caesar's actions led to:
The collapse of the Roman Republic and the start of long term peace of the Roman Empire ruled by emperors
The collapse of the Greek civilization and the rise of the Roman Republic
The collapse of a Roman Empire led by emperors and the rise of the Roman Republic
The extensive empire that stretched over three continents after the consistent victories of Alexander the Great
“Not all gladiators were brought to the arena in chains. Lured by the thrill of battle and the roar of the crowds, scores of free men began voluntarily signing contracts with gladiator schools in the hope of winning glory and prize money. These freelance warriors were often desperate men or ex-soldiers skilled in fighting, but some were upper-class patricians, knights and even senators eager to demonstrate their warrior pedigree.”
Which claim is best supported by the passage above?
Roman gladiators were given glory, money, and fame encouraging even freeman to participate in the games
Greek gladiators included slaves and volunteers lured by glory and prize money
Roman society awarded gladiators with glory and prize money that may allow all gladiators to buy back their freedom
The gladiator games continued during the European Medieval times

According to some historians, why might the passage above be a possible long term cause for the fall of Rome?
The Roman emperors continued to persecute Christians and force them to fight against gladiators
The Roman government was providing too much welfare to the citizens while the citizens were becoming desensitized to death
The Roman government was being corrupt by charging too much for admission and food at the games
The Roman government was allowing too many people to become gladiators
How does the illustration above depict cultural diffusion?
Greece was able to improve the Roman columns to create this building
The Greeks provided a blueprint for the aqueducts that Roman engineers utilized to build the Colosseum
Rome improved the Greek column by creating an arch and was then able to build the Colosseum for an athletics competition
The Romans first held Olympic Games in the Colosseum
"By the time the Colosseum opened in 80 A.D., gladiator games had evolved from freewheeling battles to the death into a well-organized blood sport. If a gladiator was seriously wounded or threw down his weapon in defeat, his fate was left in the hands of the spectators. In contests held at the Colosseum, the emperor had the final say. it was typically accompanied by ear-piercing cries of either “let him go!” or “slay him!” If the crowd willed it, the victorious gladiator would deliver by stabbing his opponent between the shoulder blades or through the neck and into the heart."
The point of view of the text above is:
The crowd solely determined the fate of the gladiator by shouting either "let him go!" or "slay him!"
At the Colosseum the gladiator game continued until each battle naturally occurred in a death or a draw (in which no real winner could be determined).
All games held at the Colosseum were deadly
Often the emperor had the final say on the fate of a gladiator, the crowd, however, was also heard by ear-piercing cries of what they believed the gladiator deserved
At its height, the Roman Empire stretched from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Euphrates River in the Middle East, but its grandeur may have also been its downfall. With such a vast territory to govern, the empire faced an administrative and logistical nightmare. Even with their excellent road systems, the Romans were unable to communicate quickly or effectively enough to manage their holdings.
What is the most likely purpose of the passage above?
To highlight the benefits of the Roman Empire stretching from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Euphrates River
To provide a record of the Roman's excellent road systems
To describe the difficulty to govern Rome after over expansion
The administrative and logistical nightmare the Roman government had trying to maintain the excellent road systems
At its height, the Roman Empire stretched from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Euphrates River in the Middle East, but its grandeur may have also been its downfall. With such a vast territory to govern, the empire faced an administrative and logistical nightmare. Even with their excellent road systems, the Romans were unable to communicate quickly or effectively enough to manage their holdings.
A historian could best use this passage to study:
Causes for the fall of Rome
The advanced network of roads that the Roman Empire created
Causes for the fall of Greece
Causes for the Pax Romana or long last peace the Roman Empire enjoyed at its greatest height
Being the Roman emperor had always been a particularly dangerous job, but during the tumultuous second and third centuries it nearly became a death sentence. Civil war thrust the empire into chaos, and more than 20 men took the throne in the span of only 75 years, usually after the murder of their predecessor [ the person who held the job before]. The Praetorian Guard—the emperor’s personal bodyguards—assassinated and installed new emperors at will, and once even auctioned the spot off to the highest bidder.
Which claim is best supported in this passage?
The Roman emperor's always held much power and were adored by the citizens of Rome
Emperors were losing power too often and even high military officials no longer trusted the Emperor in power
Being an emperor in Rome was not a particularly dangerous job
The emperor's personal bodyguards would only assassinate an emperor if it was best for the people of Rome

The actions discussed in the passage above helped lead to the
The fall of the Greek civilization
The fall of the Hellenistic empire
The Pax Romana or era of Roman peace
Fall of the Roman Empire
The purpose of the map above is to describe:
An economic cause for the fall of Rome
A political cause for the fall of Rome
A social cause for the fall of Rome
A military cause for the fall of Rome
A valid conclusion that can be made after analyzing the map and the text above is that:
Byzantium in the west would benefit from trade that caused wealth
Dividing the power between emperor's allowed the Roman empire to enjoy wealth and achieve long term success
Byzantium in the east would benefit from trade that caused wealth
The emperors in the west benefited from their location
The peasants were at the bottom of the Feudal System and had to obey their local lord to whom they had sworn an oath of obedience on the Bible. The peasant also had to pay a tax to the church called a tithe. This was a tax on all the farm produce he had produced in that year. A tithe was 10% of the value of what he had farmed. Peasants also had to work for free on church land. This was highly inconvenient as this time could have been used by the peasant to work on their own land. However, the power of the church was such that no-one dared break this rule as they had been taught from a very early age that God would see their sins and punish them.
A historian would best use the passage above to study:
The homes of the peasants made out of straw, mud, and manure
The freedoms the peasants enjoyed on the manor
The amount of grain a peasant must give each year
The loyalty the peasant had to the Catholic church

The point of view of the passage above is:
The peasants had to obey the customs of the Feudal Lord and the Catholic Church
The peasants had more freedoms than the serfs as they were not bound to the land
The peasants answered only to the Feudal lord
The peasant's lives focused on agriculture, and they tended to the fields often
Most economic activities on this feudal manor were related to
Guilds
Industry

Agriculture
Based on the picture above, historians believe the feudal manor:
Demonstrated a period of advancements and growth
Relied on trade
Was a self-sufficient town
Was led by a strong central government
What institutions held the most power in a Feudal manor?
The King held Absolute or centralized power
The government was decentralized, the actual power was with the Pope and the Feudal lord
The pope and the feudal lord held some power, but the King was Absolute and worked to centralize his power
The knights protected the manor and the peasants grew the food; therefore, they held the most power
According to the diagram below; which social class held the most power during the European Middle Ages?
The King because he had centralized power
The Peasants because they did all of the farming
The knights because they protected the manor
The nobles including the feudal lords who controlled the manor and Catholic Church officials
The social hierarchy depicted above most directly led to:
The importance of land ownership by the nobles
The importance of protection from outside invasions
The importance of the peasants and the serfs producing agriculture
The importance of land ownership by the peasants and serfs
The Ten Commandments of the Medieval Code of Chivalry:
1) Thou shalt believe all that the Church teaches, and shalt observe all its directions.
2) Thou shalt defend the Church.
3) Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them.
4)Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of God.
5) Thou shalt make war against the Infidel without cessation, and without mercy.
Based on the document above the most accurate claim is:
The emperor and the Church have the most power in Medieval Europe
The Catholic Church plays a critical role in the duties of a knight
The Feudal lord demands the most loyalty from the knight
The knight will sometimes need to set Christian ideals aside in order to protect the manor
At that time, there was such a great shortage of priests everywhere that many churches did not have enough for masses, services, prayers for dying or funerals. The plague moved through Dorset seaport, on to Devon, Somerset and up to Bristol. As a result, the people of Gloucester denied admission to people from Bristol, believing that the breath of those who had lived among the dying would spread the sickness. But in the end Gloucester, and then Oxford and London too, and finally the whole of England were so violently attacked that almost 90 percent of both men and women died.
Based on this passage, what was the perspective of the people of Gloucester?
They knew it was only a matter of days before most of Europe would die
They believed the people from Dorset, Devon, and Somerset were good Christians
They believed that if they let any survivors from Bristol into the town, it would further spread the sickness to Gloucester, also
They believed that almost 90 percent of both men and women died
