Today in class we watched the chariot scene from the movie Ben Hurr. It was a scene from a movie that was filmed in the 1950's. This made it very exciting because the race actually happened. The actors were not in front of a green screen or anything. We also finished talking about the rap and taking notes on it. Hannibal brought Rome to the foot of defeat. It was a great idea that he had. Rome was fighting as the home team in the first Punic War. Carthage attacked Rome. The Phoenicians had mercenaries as their soldiers. Rome won the first Punic War.
