Thursday's Class 4/24/14

     Today in class we talked about what it was like to be in the Roman army back in the day.  Mr. Schick basically told us how rewarding it was to be in the army back then rather than today.  Don't get me wrong being in the U.S. army would be a great honor to fight for this country but back in Rome it was different.  When you fought and won territory you got to divide it up and everybody got a little piece of victory.  I was told that if you were a generally you you all of the loot, had sex with all the women, made a good salary, and were rewarded land.  Now if you ask me that life doesn't sound too bad for an Ancient Roman general.
