Answer 2

|. Themes.

Theme 1: The Roman Empire.

Theme 2: Christianity.

2. Events for themes.

Theme 1: THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

There are many important events you could choose from the Roman Empire but here are a few examples:

• Event 1:  Founding of the city of Rome (753 B.C.)
• Event 2: Julio Cesar becomes the first Roman dictator (45 BC).
• Event 3: Julio Cesar's assassination and the beginning of a civil war (44 BC).
• Event 4: Ceasar August becomes the first Roman Emperor, so the Roman Empire begins (27 BC).
• Event 5: Emperor Romulus Augustus is defeated by the Germans, this is the end of the Western Roman Empire and the fall of ancient Rome (476 AD).

Theme 2: CHRISTIANITY.

Christianity and the Roman empire's timelines have a very strong correlation  and some of their main events could actually be the same (especially at the very early stages of Christianity), but below I will try to include different ones from some of the ones I included for the first theme, again these are just some examples of a very vast variety to choose from.

• Event 1: Jesus of Nazareth is born (4 BC).
• Event 2: Death of Jesus (30 CE).
• Event 3: The Roman emperor Nero starts the persecution of Christians (64 AD).
• Event 4: Emperor Theodosius makes Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire (380 AD).
• Event 5: The Christian Church splits into the eastern (Orthodox) part and the western (Catholic) part (1504 AD).
