Theodore Learns About Ancient Rome's Power

Theodore the turtle was swimming in his pond when he noticed a strange object at the bottom. It was an old Roman coin! This sparked Theodore's curiosity about ancient Rome.

Theodore's friend, the wise owl, told him about a TV show called "Rome: The World's First Superpower." The show talked about how Rome became so powerful long ago.

In the first episode, Theodore learned that Rome was founded by a man named Romulus over 2,700 years ago! The city grew from a small village into a mighty empire.

The second episode showed how Rome built strong walls to protect itself after being attacked. Parts of these ancient walls can still be seen today.

Theodore was fascinated to hear about Tiberius Gracchus in the third episode. He tried to help poor farmers, but it got him into trouble with rich and powerful people.

In the final episode, Theodore discovered the story of Julius Caesar. Caesar was an important leader who helped make Rome even stronger.

The show used cool computer images to show what ancient Rome looked like. Theodore was amazed to see the grand buildings and busy streets of the ancient city.

After learning all about Rome's history, Theodore felt inspired. Even a small turtle could dream of doing big things, just like the Romans did so long ago.
