Elect Aulus Postumius Albinus
Come on down to the voting center and elect Aulus Postumius Albinus. Aulus is going for dictator. A dictator is a Roman magistrate with extraordinary powers, appointed during an emergency. The word dictator originally meant "the word who meant" or "give orders". Aulus promises he will listen to the people and their opinions. If anyone has a problem, he says he will try to take care of it as soon as possible. He is very brave, strong, and smart; the perfect qualities for a leader. So, go on down and vote for Aulus Postumius Albinus.
Christianity
Christianity is based around Jesus. Many Romans and Jews heard about about him. Many people were killed just because they believed in Jesus. These people were called martyrs. Christianity is being banned because of potential threat. People should not die because they believe in Jesus. We need to do something about this. Write me back if you have any ideas.

Barbarians attack Roman Empire
Beyond the borders of the Roman Empire the world was given over to wild barbarians, who were skilled neither in the arts of war nor of peace. The civilization of Rome should go down before their ignorance seemed impossible. The Roman Empire might fall not just because of the attack, but because of the internal problems of the empire. Internal problems are disease, inflation, taxes, food shortages, lack of government services, protection, and stability. We will keep you updated on whether or not the Roman Empire falls.
