During core class last week we did a simulation and I was the province of Greece. I had to sell marble to the Romans by making a commercial. They exchanged with us 600 soldiers for two of our products. If we had to choose another role I would have choosen to be a barbarian, to be exact I would be the Goths. I wanted to be the Goths because they got revenge from all that misery the Romans made them have. Also because they would be the ones who defeated Rome, but they didn't stay but for three days. My main reason is because I wanted to still be alive and to have been able to defeat the provinces and get their stuff!
All this would have still been fun for me although I would know I would be the bad one. I think it would have been a strong role as well because the Goths were a very big and powerful tribe that had been treated wrong. The Goths were once driven away to their faith from some other tribes who wanted and they had nothing else to do, but leave and ask the Romans for help. The Romans told them they were alowed to stay with if they agreed to some terms. The term included for them to serve in the army an recieve bread, as well as send their children away to be slaves or army workers for just another loaf of bread, sometimes not even a loaf was given! Although the terms siad to give the them bread the Roman emperor didn't give them any because he did not have enough for everybody, I think that if he did not have enough for everyone he should not have taken them in, but he did. So that is just one reason the Goths took revenge on the Romans, they sure did deserve it! So that is why I would have wanted to be the Goths, because they were a big role, but I was still happy with my last role!!
