Medieval Time Travel Guide
Due Date: _____________________
Introduction:Overview of the Middle Ages
Medieval Time Travel Guide: Imagine you are a travel agent for a group traveling back in time to three different events during the Medieval period. You need to make a guide for this group to help prepare them for what to expect during their trip.
Components: This should be typed with:
Medieval Event List (choose three):
Assassination of Julius Caesar
Overview: Julius Caesar frightened the Roman Senate into declaring him dictator for life. With Caesar in control, the republican form of government ended. Caesar had a vision of Rome as a great empire. He introduced many reforms, such as building new roads, adopting a new calendar we still use today, starting new colonies, and granting citizenship to many people. However, he did not live to see his vision come true. On March 15, 44 BCE, a group of enemies, including his former friend Brutus, stabbed Caesar to death as he was entering the Senate. The plotters who killed Caesar thought they were saving the republic, but they were wrong...
Tips for Your Visit: Obviously you want to be there on March 15th for the assassination, but I recommend going a bit earlier to experience the daily life before things get a bit rocky. If you want to fit in, some of you should dress as Senators and wear white silk togas. Others should pretend to be the bodyguards and carry fasces, or bundles of sticks with an ax in the center. Crime is common, so keep an eye out for theft and assault. Wear a dirty, old toga if you go out at night. Be sure to stick to the richer neighborhoods where there are more police. Women should not travel alone, even during the day. When you eat dinner with other Senators, don’t be surprised to find such fancy appetizers as mice cooked in honey, roasted parrots with stuffed dates, salted jellyfish, and snails dipped in milk on your plate!
Quote: “I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.” ~Julius Caesar
