Caesar vs Augustus

Who do you think was a more important leader, Caesar or Augustus? Explain your answer using details and relevant facts to support your opinion.

I think that Caesar was a more important leader because he was a military leader and helped his men for a place to life, he gave them shelter, food and land for plating crops. Even if he killed a bunch of people for not obeying him he still did a bunch of things for Rome. Augustus later on just became the leader and helped out with a few problems but still worshiped his father Caesar and build a temple for him. Caesar did do bad things but was know to be a great leader for the ones who supported him, on the other hand the others hated him and wanted him gone from Rome and never to come back or kill him and never hear his name again. 

Imagine you are a Roman citizen, would you be for or against Caesar's rise to power and his reforms? Why/why not?

I would never be for Caesar. He became an enemy and stated a civil war. He treated everyone with cruelty and punished those who wanted to uphold the traditions and laws if the republic. He also made jobs or the poor to get money. He  killed people for not obeying him, People though he was trying to take advantage of the people. I'm just saying i don't like him. He was very mean and bossy in my opinion and i would never want to be one of his people.....

Explain in detail how the geography and climate of the Italian peninsula affected the development of ancient Rome

The geography of ancient Rome was normally by relatively steep hills on the left bank of the river Tiber. Some historians say that that the rivers made culture harder for the development in Ancient Rome. The rivers split cultures and Rome into different places. Hills where also said to have done this. The climate made it even worse. Rivers of course got higher with the rain and sometimes overflowed into the villages. When there was no rain the crops wouldn't be able to grow and animals would dye because they would have no water. These things really affected Rome in some ways, but also helped in other ways.

Describe the two legends of the founding of Rome

One of the legends of when the founding of Rome began was a traditional story of 2 twin brothers who where abandoned as babies near the Tiber River. The where rescued by a wolf and and raised by a shepherd. However some historians believe that Latins lived in the area of Rome so they could have been the ones who founded Rome. Archaeologists have found evidence of villages on the Platine Hill. The most believed legend is the on of the twin brothers. It was said that one of them killed their brother and named the city after them self.
