just grab some land!

Alright so today in Western Civ we finished watching the Rome movie. It was a really good movie actually. Filled with eye twitching and grabbing land... here are my notes:

-latifundia: the land that the rich took from the middle class/poor.
-slaves from Carthage replaced middle/.poor for jobs because they worked for nothing.
-they are going to Spain because Spain was apart of Carthage and they didn't want an uprising.

-Tiberius made a peace tardy with the enemies.
-The Senate was upset because of this agreement.
-It was either the peace or death.
-The Senate and the rest of the men were deciding what to do with Tiberius and the general.
-At first, they wanted to punish Tiberius and the general but they then decided to only punish the general.

-When the Senates clapped= a vote.
-Tiberius tries to pass a law that will get the farmers lands back from the rich.
-The law gets vetoed the first time; it is vetoed the second time but Tiberius starts to veto opening up the shops in response to the veto of his law for the farmers.

-Riots started.
-The Senates removed the guy who vetoed and Tiberius got his law.
-The other tyrants started to turn the people against Tiberius.
-The people of Rome believed him.
-The Senates planned to get the people to turn against him, then charges him and kill him.
-Everyone starts to turn against Tiberius.
-Tiberius said to his bodyguard, "If I need you, I'll point to my head" and the Senate lied and said he was telling his bodyguard to get his crown.
-The Senates beat him and killed him.
-There was no funeral they just threw him in the river.


RIP Tiberius and all the land *eye twitch*

VETO!
