PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Introduction
Lots of roads let to Rome, but not only roads, Roman law, Roman Custom, and Roman Military.

In the city of broken angels
what was once there was no more
the mother mountain that was shadowed by the city
caused even the bravest men to run away in fear
the ash from 1000 fires and the heat from 100 flames
the city housed not a single soul as
a black death swarmed the city
with a hollow heart

35.4 Religion
As they bow down to the almighty,
they have adopted their rulers,
they worshiped, they preyed, they sacrificed to the holy ones
the loyalty of this was something of a honor, in the presence of the emperor
offerings gave hope
disrespect caused fear
above all others they could control the Earth itself, the Olympian gods
