Roman society


Look at that glass bowl, it is owned by a poor Roman people. He may use a lot of money to buy it!




Many historians have argued Roman society and economy, but there's some possbilities. Some people think Roman had a very simple society, and most people are farmers. They always make the most thmselves need, and almost never go to the market. Roman didn't sell many. Though, the tax would take some food from the farmers. The tax collectors would take it to city, and gives to wealthy people,slaves, soldiers and emperor. The other people think Roman society is complicate, and they use money to buy clothes and food. They paid taxes in money. There's many historians thinks Roman sometimes make the most what they need, sometimes sell other thing or buy some stuff. We need to thanks archaeologist dicover Roman farm and city.The certain thing is Roman farmer work on farm and sowing; The wealthy people in city used money to buy some food, clothes or other staff.

Fossils


I found this website about the fossil, and the picture is small ammonite fossil. I learn the fossils are in the Archaean to Holocene Epoch. A fossil is a died organism, and it just has one part as usual. Some fossils they don't really have the body, like the footprint or feces. We call they trace fossils.

The picture is a fish fossil, it seem cool! I find the other website about fossil. I learned if you have a bones, it may not a fossil. If it is a fossil, it will be heavy. Also, you can look up the calcium carbonate. You need to look around the water in there. The water most rich calcium carbonate it. It means the bones is more past than recent. It is the mark of fossils.

The Universe

http://www.scientificpsychic.com/etc/timeline/timeline.html

I found this website of the timeline of the Earth. At the 3500 mya the life start. The first life in Earth is blue-green algae. When the 235 mya the first dinosaur appear and lizards, too.The time pass, at the Cretaceous Period the Tyrannosaurus is the king in the Earth. However, at the 65 mya the 170km stone hits the Earth. All most all the dinosaurs disappeared. The first ancestor of human appear in Tertiary Period.

My ideas:I believe the Cretaceous Period end in the big stone hits the Earth because the only things can make dinosaurs died is it. I think this website needs to talk about when the cockroach appear,I'm interest of it.


This website is about the beginning of the universe. The writer said the universe begins to grow.When the time pass, it will be smaller and smaller.It mark the beginning of the universe is the big bang. I believe this theory because I think the universe has some energy to grow. When it don't have that energy, it becomes smaller.I've read a book, it is about the unverse is appear by some element hit each other.The elements start to grow big and that is our universe.It is the cause I believe this theory.
