Dr. Mashburn started where he left off last time we were together. What is the University?-Part II. During the roman perirod (500 BCE to 500 CE) life was much different. Mother's were in charge of educating there young children. The role of young girls were to run the home, become mothers themselves and administer the household. Now, men are seen as the ones who should run the household. Boys of this time were to be apprentices of their fathers and memorize laws. Here is a list of some of the twelve tablets during 455 BCE:
* If one didn't pay their dept then they were sold into slavery to match the dept.
* Extreme deformed children were killed.
* If the father sells his son three times his son if free from his father.
* If someone testifies as a false witness they will be hurled down the Tarpeian Rock.
The roman schools of 300 BCE taught subjects, such as, rhetoric, literature, logic, geometry, astronomy, music, physics, law, and philosophy. Dr. Mashburn posted a few quotes from the era, one in which I took special interest to was that of Ci Cero. " To be content with what one has is the greatest and truest of riches." The Greek education system was quite different than that of the Romans. Greeks liked to think and talk, whereas, Romans preferred to build roads and set laws. The Latin phrase In hoc signo vinces means, "In this sign you will be victorious." The Emperor Constantine regiened from 280-337. He saw the (In hoc signo vinces) in a dream and became a born again Christian. This dream also lead to the Constantine Reforms:
* The cross represent the army
* Legal rights to Christians
* Sunday effical Roman holiday
* Chruches tax exempt status
* Declared December 25 as the day of Christmas
* Motivating force behind Council of Nicea Jesus-fully human, fully God
*Easter and Lent
