Questions
1. civil war - conflict between groups within the same country and followed their death.
Julius Caesar - emerged to bring order to Rome.
triumvirate - a group of three rulers.
absolute ruler - some one who has total power.
Augustus - the title that Octavian was given and it could also mean “exalted one.
Pax Romana - Roman peace.
gladiator - professional fighters who fought to the death in public contests.

2. Rome changes during the Pax Romana
Agriculture was the most important industry in the empire ,all else depended on it.
About 90 percent of the people were engaged in farming.
Most Romans survived on the produce from their local area.
Additional foodstuffs and luxury items for the rich were obtained through trade.
In Augustus’ time, a silver coin called adenarius was in use throughout the empire.
Having common coinage made trade between different parts of the empire much easier.
Rome had a vast trading network.
The changes that I consider negative are that the additional stuffs and luxury items that where obtainded by the rich because then they take everythinig and there is no more the others.

3. The role that Juius Caesar played in the decline of the republic and the rise of the empire is that he emerged to bring order to Rome and domiated Rome as a triumirate.
