welcomed back with a test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took a test. We were warmly welcomed back to the school with a 50 multiple choice question test that was worth 100 points. I think I did well on it. I found most of the questions to be simple. I think that I may have even gotten a one hundred percent worthy of a two bell ring. After the test we took notes on the next part of the class which I believe is Ancient Rome.
-Rome began as a republic, a government in which elected officials represent the people
-eventually absolute rulers called emperors seized power and expanded the empire
-At its height the Roman Empire touched three continents (Europe, Africa, Asia)
-For several centuries Rome brought peace and prosperity to its empire before its eventual collapse
-Out of Judea rose monotheistic religion known as Christianity
-Based on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, it soon spread throughout Rome and beyond

Test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took an Ancient Rome test. In my luck the test was open blog, our very first one all year long. I thought the test was pretty easy considering the test was open note there were a couple that I was confused on but they were mainly because i was absent for one class when we went over Julius Caesar's reign. However, I think I still did pretty well on it. I did well on the other questions about the Punic Wars and the government of Rome. I still found it interesting taking the test and seeing how similar America's government is to that of Ancient Rome's. After we were done taking the test the bell rang and ended class.
