AP World History Christians in Rome

Over the weekend you have a few things to do.  First, finish up the pocket map if your class was assigned it.  Second, you got a reading in class that describes the Roman responses to Christianities spread in the empire. Read this before going on to the next item  Third, you should watch the video located here.  When you open up the web page, you are going to be watching two selections from Part Two, so click that link. If you put your cursor over the top of the video bar (where it says Chapters/From Jesus to Christ) you will have the chapters/scenes appear as a horizontally scrollable menu.  You will first go to Chapter 7 (Christianity in the 2nd and 3rd Centuries). Begin watching at the start (53:57-ish) and continue to 59:16 to get a sense of the religious structures of the Roman Empire.  Then jump ahead to Chapter 9 (The Prison Diary of Perpetua: a Martyr) Start at 1:12:13 (the start of the chapter) and continue to 1:18:40 (or the end of the chapter.)  You are, of course, welcome to watch more if you like... ;)  We will talk about the martyrs and the eventual acceptance of Christianity on Monday.
