What would you like help with exactly?
<span>1) educated people of the Middle Ages did NOT think (nor did the Church teach) that the earth was flat!! They had known otherwise for over two millennia! (Opposition to Columbus's plans was based on the belief that the world was LARGER than he thought, and the voyage too far to make safely. In fact, his CRITICS were correct about the earth's size!)

Answer:
Gladiatorial contests, like chariot races, were originally held in large open spaces with temporary seating; there is evidence that some munera were held in the Roman Forum, for example. As the games became more frequent and popular, there was need for a larger and more permanent structure. Although the Circus Maximus was often pressed into service because of its huge seating capacity, the Romans eventually designed a building specifically for this type of spectacle (called an amphitheatrum because the seating extended all the way around the oval or elliptical performance area, which was covered with sand, harena). Early amphitheaters, both in Rome and elsewhere, were built of wood, but stone amphitheaters proved to be much more durable; the oldest stone amphitheater, built in Pompeii in the first century CE and seating approximately 20,000, is still well preserved (see also this view through an archway on the upper level, a section of stone seats with staircase, and the exterior walls with stairway). Like Roman theaters, amphitheaters were freestanding; because they did not require natural hills, as Greek theaters did, they could be built anywhere. A remarkable painting from a house in Pompeii depicts the amphitheater. In the tree-shaded area in front, vendors have set up temporary shops to sell food and drinks; the exercise-ground to the right was equipped with a large latrine so spectators could relieve themselves. This fresco depicts a specific event that took place in 59 CE, when a fight erupted between the Pompeians and the neighboring Nucerians (much like modern soccer brawls); in punishment for the riot, Nero imposed a ten-year ban on gladiatorial fights in the amphitheater.

Answer:11.Analyzing Primary Sources What reasons are given for the issuing of this edict? The reasons for issuing the Edict of Milan was that so people are treated equally, and that since people are allowed to believe in their own religion, they believed that Christians should be allowed to believe in their own religion.12.Drawing Conclusions Why do you think property was restored to the Christians and to their churches?Property was restored to the Christians and their churches because they previously own that land, but was persecuted and forced out of that area, taking away any property that belong to them.13.Identifying Perspectives, The Edict of Milan only guarantees tolerance of Christianity, not recognition by the state. Why did Constantine and Licinius take this position?The reason why Constantine and Licinius took the position to tolerate Christians is because it was unfair for people who believe in Christianity to be treated differently from their religion when they allow people to practicetheir own.14.ComparingHow does the edict’s position on religion compare with a political ideal or contemporary event?The edict’s position on religion compares with a political ideal because many politicians speak about freedom of religion and worship and allows people to pursue their own.
