CAESAR GALLERY WALK

Following the decline of the Republic, the age of the dictators or Caesars began. It lasted from 44 BC until the late 4th century AD and spanned the lives of 12 Caesars and many Emperors. You and your group will be assigned one of the following Caesars and you will research the life and times of your Caesar. You will need to answer the following:

1. Who were they? When did they live? Was there anything notable about their family? 2. What were they best known for? List and describe at least 3 things that happened under their administration. 3. How did your Caesar change the Roman Empire? 4. In your opinion, were they a good or bad Caesar? On what criteria do you base that judgment? 5. What impact did this Caesar have on your life and World History? 6. If you had to pick a modern leader, politician or celebrity who embodies many of the same characteristics as your Caesar, who would it be? Why?

You will then create a poster for a "gallery walk" which you will use to teach the class about your Caesar or Emperor. Your poster should include the following criteria: a. Reflect the answers to your research questions. b. Create a visual that represents your Caesar or his accomplishments. c. Create a symbol or portait which reflects your modern day counterpart of your Caesar.
