=Write your "help me" question below. Someone in the class should have an answer!= or email me at: jmartin@sjr.mb.ca When was Jesus born? It says 3 bce in the textbook timeline...

No-one knows. Please note there is no year "0". It goes 1BCE to 1CE. The Christian church, after Constantine started to make it uniform, and with laws, made the Common Era begin with the birth of Jesus: they called it Anno Domini: which was Latin for "in the year of our Lord". We have since chnaged it to C.E. or common era, as Jesus is not everyone's Lord. Mr. m

How did the plebeians get rich? They did some random business such as trade with the Greeks and sell things

^ after the conquest of Italy they gave out the conquered land to the plebians. :) - Sarah

Yes. Patricians are important because their family was important before the Etruscans came. If you had the right last name, you were important. Patricians are always Patricians and Plebians are always Plebians, but after 500 BCE, there was lots of opportunity for Plebians to make money and own land because the Roman Empire got bigger and richer. By the 200's, we started to see Plebian Consuls in charge of the Senate (in your notes). Mr. m

I'm confused about the start of feudalism. Mr. Martin told me the system lasted from 500 to 1500 CE, but he also said Charlemagne started it, and Charlemagne wasn't elected Holy Roman emperor until the 800's. **When** did it start, exactly? I I Fuedalism is a process. The Frankish version is the one everyone used after Charlemagne, but it started before him in order for him to use it. Use 500CE as an aproximate date. Mr. m Thank you! :)
