Today we went over the schedule for the rest of the year. We also went over the Powerpoint. Mr. Schick is going to add more slides over the weekend and post the exam topics. We will have to write three out of the four essays. Here are the notes I took today in class:

"Crossing the Rubicon"

• after the victory, Julius wants to go to Rome and have a celebration to take power 
• senate says no, stop at the Rubicon and only take your elite soldiers to Rome
• but he choose to talk into Rome with all his soldiers  
• he made his decision when crossing the Rubicon 
• the senate gets him into the Senate Chamber and stabs him to death
