- Punic Wars came form the work Poeni, the latin name for Phoenicians
- Rome won the first war by forcing Carthage out of Rome
- Rome is fighting as the home team, Carthage is a mercenary army (somewhat like the Persians)
- Carthage was located in Africa
Today in class we watched the remaining two minutes or so about the video and gladiator fighting. There weren't any special effects in the movie which is crazy considering about how many people fall or get injured, including the horses. Then people read from the book and we took notes on stuff from the book. Mr. Schick also added his own comments on what the book said and went further in depth about what the book was saying about the Punic Wars. Mr. Schick also suggested that the we would have a quest tomorrow (something between a quiz and a test).
