Roman Rap

I wanted to share the lyrics to rap one of my freshman did for a project on ancient Rome:

This is the Roman empire

Hannibal running around setting cities on fire.

Augustus be fighting so hard trying to get his power higher.

He was doing his thing since the start of Pax Romana.

Yeah, get it, we're talkin' bout the Senate.

The branch of government that was here from the beginning.

Be patient, here comes inflation. Engineers are building the city with no hesitation.

Now Paul was a holy ghost writer

First came the gospel and then the gladiator

Peace maker followed from a dictator

Then Constantine came later

Civil war's about to start 

Patricians are coming through

Plebians need to group

to get their special needs

they form assemblies

begging for more money and telling the senate please

Democracy controls the roman empire
