Socrates in prison from The Greeks documentary

After Socrates had been found guilty of impiety and corrupting the morals of the city's youth, he was next invited to propose a suitable punishment.

This was a legal tradition in Athens and an opportunity for him to show remorse, and hopefully lessen his sentence. But asked what sort of punishment he thought he should receive, he responded with an answer that was nothing short of a death wish.

He argued that he should receive the highest honors of the city and be granted free meals at the public's expense, an honor reserved for Olympian athletes.

The outraged jury voted for his death by even greater majority than had found him guilty of his alleged crimes.

Led away to the city's prison house, his trial and last days became the subject of Plato's 'Crito & Phaedo'. Visited by many people, he faced the prospect of death with characteristic unconcern, and even refused to be rescued and smuggled abroad by a group of friends.

Which describes an action of Caesar Augustus?
guapka [62]
Caesar Augustus was originally named Octavian, great nephew of Julius Caesar. He was the first emperor of the Rome and was named Augustus. Augustus during this time was known for placing Rome in the "Pax Romana" a state of amazing excellency during ancient Roman times. Since Augustus placed Rome into a period of greatness, it does not make sense that he sent Rome into a civil war, meaning it can't be a. For choice b., it is describing Nero, who supposed played his lyre while the city of Rome burned. Choice d is referring to Julius Caesar; well in partial. Julius Caesar created a calendar but I do not remember if he really referred to himself as a god. So this only leaves option c. He established an imperial government in place of the Roman Republic.
