Today in West Civ., class we got our last pop quiz back most
of us got hundreds. Then, we had ANOTHER pop quiz on barbarians. HOW
BARBARIC!!!! Then we took notes on “Post Rome,” a name that I just invented
myself. These notes started with some wrap up/review info on Romulus Augustulus,
and the Anglo-Saxons. We then moved on to the Byzantines. First up for this
topic is Justinian. He tried to restore Rome (with the Maryland flag for some
reason). However that didn’t happen because a plague swept through their ranks.
Then, they formed the “Holy Roman Empire.” Justinian, decided that it would be
grand if he built the most awesome church EVER!!!! If you are an architect,
then this church is the equivalent of God. What’s even more awesome about this
building is that it is still around today! The original isn’t though, Justinian
built this 3 times in order to make it more stable. This church is called the
Hagia Sophia, meaning “Holy Wisdom.” Today, it is no longer a church, but a
museum.
