1.) The fall of the republic The rise of popular tribunes There were two brothers Ti, and C. Sempronius Gracchus who took control of the plebeans to seize the power in Rome. They were restore the army in rome. These men were both later killed through modern mob violence. The first Triumvirate had three men were involved, Crassus, Ceasar, and Pompey. These three men were all trying to seize power at the same time. Pompey was an extremely popular general who defeated many armies. Crassus used Sulla had become one of the most wealthiest men in Rome. Pompey was defeated in a civil war in Egypt and was killed. Ceasar tried to become a dictator. After defeating all of his enemies he was granted a ten year dictatorship for the purpose of restoring the roman republic. A few weeks later he was murdered by seven men and stabbed numerous times. The second Triumvirate Antony and Lepidus Worked as a team and were a formidable force. Octavian had plenty of strength, but could not do it alone. This triumverate was nearly sixteen years later. This was a joint dictatorship which helped form a new government. They did not want to get overthrown so they started a large fund that way no one could come up from behind and try to take over. They used sullas proscriptions to help them. 2.)Quote:I myself however have no gratitude for a man who, while not serve an angered [dominator], does not deprecate the matter [of domination] itself.... Let Octavius therefore call Cicero "father," refer all things to him, thank him; nevertheless this will become apparent: his words are contrary to what he is really doing.... For what is it to our cause that Antony is conquered, if he has been conquered so that which he held lies open for another?....I myself certainly...will wage war against the thing itself, that is against kingship and extraordinary supreme commands and domination and power which would wish itself to be above the laws....  Meaning: There is a lot of tension in Rome because no one wants a king. There are three people who are in power who are trying to be king and have all the power in Rome. With all of these men wanting to be king while they are supposed to work as a team and help develop Rome is going to cause turmoil. It is certainly a bad deal when these men with all of this power are suffering problems within their triumvirate.When the king is in he can do whatever he wants and there isn’t anything anyone can really do about it. This means they don’t want a king at all because it wouldn’t help the people out just the king and that’s no good for the men in the triumvirate.

What am I to say? "Wait, please, until I meet Atticus?" There is no room for back-turning. Against Caesar? Means: There is no room to backstab Caesar. It is said that these men were together to accomplish a goal of running Rome. While in the meantime, there was unseen tension because these men of this power were all competing for the same goal. This goal was to have a single person in power. This was an underlying issue because all of the men in this group wanted to rule. 3.) The section I am writing on is going to be a section of a chapter that could be named Great Roman Leaders. The section that i would title it as would be named the first triumvirate. The part that i would write for this would be:   The First Triumvirate is an accumulation of Rome's great leaders coming together in something like a fraction. This was ultimately a great historic advancement in Roman culture. The allegiance of this caliber had to consist of Roman greats. These greats were that of Julius Caesar, Marcus Crassus, and Gnaeus Pompeius. This group was well known within the Roman empire but their was really no official status of forming. This group was formed in 60 BC and lasted all the way through history until the death of one of their leaders Crassus in 53BC  4) 509-They throw over the king Tarquin 494-Revolt of Plebeians against Patricians 458-General Cincinnatus came out of retirment, and took up position to become the dictator of Rome to keep it in order. 451-The twelve tables are invented. 390-Gauls invaded and took control of rome 312- Began construction of first aqueduct and first major road. 275- Rome controlled all of Italian peninsula 264- First War between Rome and Carthage (First Punic War) 218-Second Punic War with Carthage with Hannibal leading the Carthage Army 149-Third Punic War 85-Invention of heating system known as the hypocaust used in villas spread to most public baths 60-Pompey, Crassus and Julius Caesar formed alliance known as First Triumvirate 58-Julius Caesar conquered all of Gaul - current day France 49-Civil war with Julius Caesar the winner 44-Julius Caesar assassinated on the Ides of March (15th) 35-Civil war between Marcus Antony and Octavian 31-Marcus Antony and Cleopatra defeated at battle of Actium 5.) media type="custom" key="3267318"

6.)Pictures -Julius Caesar one of the great leaders of the First Triumvirate.     -Cicero a great philosopher during the time of the First Triumvirate- this picture shows us the area of where this section of our book takes place  7.) From this chapter we can go away with knowing that Rome has had its own fair share of ups and downs. Even with the exception of having amazing leaders we learned that people can always have their differences and the will to have ultimate power can surpass any amount of friendship. This is a true example of what was said about the First Triumvirate. Even though Rome needed saviors and people to come together the willpower of Romes leaders was not strong enough and ended their bondage for triumph in utter failure. In closing we will have to go away knowing something of this great story in Roman history like........ What was the First Triumvirate? Who were the famous men known for being in this group? And how did this group ultimately have a failure in their goals for Rome in the end.
