To learn about Roman Authority in Judea I visited Dan and Dominic’s website. I was not only impressed by the amount of information they had, but also by the wording they used, which made it interesting to read and easy to follow. As someone who finds large history passages difficult and tedious, I really enjoyed it. I found it fascinating to learn that the Roman military required their members to meet a height requirement of six feet. The only suggestion I would make is that the background, though a good fit for the website, ended up being blurry.

I went to Dan and Dominic's website to learn about Roman Authority. My favorite parts of their website were definitely the amount of information available and the unique and distinguishing writing style that intrigued me to read more. I was especially moved by how the rebels and their families of Masada had taken their own lives by the time the walls around their homes were destroyed, instead of surrendering. Also, what interested me was how men training for the Roman military practiced on weapons that were much heavier than they would be using in battle in order to build strength. I had never thought of how that would be helpful, but now understand the logic of it. My only complaint is the blurry picture used as the background, which is sort of distracting during reading.

I messed up on my first reply. Here's the corrected version:

To learn about Roman Authority in Judea I visited Dan and Doms website. The website was very easy to follow and the layout was very appealing. In order to be a Roman solider you had to be between the ages of 18 and 23. Jews resented Roman rule due to the harsh taxes that were brought upon them in order to help the Roman economy. Dom and Dan’s website could be improved by added more pictures.

To learn about Roman Authority I visited Dom and Dan’s website. I learned that male Roman Citizens had to be over 6 feet tall and from the ages of 18 and 23 to qualify. I also learned that it took 47 days to finally take over Jotapata which resulted in 40,000 people getting killed. I really liked how the notes were broken down in an easy to read and understand format along with the interesting pictures. One thing that could be improved upon is the blurry background but other than that I think that it is a very informative, helpful website for people looking to learn about Roman Authority.

To learn about Roman authority in the time of Christ, I visited Dan and Dom’s website. My favorite part of the website was under the Conflict in Judea under Rome tab. The description of the battle between the Jewish Rebels and Rome authority really caught my eye, and it was like watching a documentary on television because of the descriptive wording that was used. While viewing the website, I learned that Roman authority was very harsh when it came to punishment, and that in order to be a Roman soldier, you had to be at least six feet tall. In order to enhance the website, I would suggest adding a few bulleted lists to describe things such as Roman soldier requirements and equipment so that the reader has an easier time finding the information that they are looking for.

I was able to learn more about Roman Authority by visiting Dan and Dom's website. I enjoyed the layout of the website, which was easy to navigate, and the wealth of information available on each subject. I found it interesting that Roman soldiers had to be at least six feet tall and that Josephus's Rebellion began when someone dumped a pot of urine outside of a Jewish synagogue. In order to make the information easier to read, I would suggest breaking it up into smaller portions to better hold the readers interest.

I'm disappointed in all of you for not finding my glory to the empire joke at the bottom.

To learn about the roman authority, I visited Dom and Dan's website. I really loved that they kept the color scheme the same all throughout the website. Also, everything was very informational. I learned that the roman army didn't always fight, but they did always have a job. Some acted as police while others were the horrid tax collectors. The importance of the army is always at a peak. Personally, I would've definitely added more pictures. There should be at least one photo per subject. But, it was an overall success! And p.s. Dom I loved your little joke  ? |
