Seeing the way they would encase the deceased king's face in wax and make masks out of it. It was really nasty. We also learned about the destruction of Carthage in Africa. Rome completely looted and burned carthage to the ground. The enslaved the remaining people in the city. Tiberius Gracchus was the main individual who contributed to the victory over carthage.

My favorite person that was dressed up was milton hershey and how he changed the face of the chocolate industry.
