The only way the farmers could investigate was to make their own fighting gear and they would fight every day, they had nothing. The land would be ugly, unmaintained because they had nothing to maintain it and they were poor. Farmers had no choice but to sell their properties to the Romans, also known as Socrates. Additionally, in 133 BC, the Gracchi brothers were trying to improve the situation by moving farmers to North Africa, but along the way they were both killed. Marius and Sulla represented a new role for the Roman army, but they soon found themselves against each other. Marius drew up a list of Sulla's friends and had them killed. Sulla was smarter, he made a list of Marius' associates, killed them and took their property and this act made Sulla a hero and dictator overnight. The development of two groups occurred, Optimate was one and Populare was another group. The Optimates were powerful senators and the Populares, supported by the Roman people. The first triumvirates (coalition) were divided into 3 important men. Crassus was one, the richest man in Rome, Pompey, the military general, and Julius Caesar, the popular supporter.

In addition, monks helped travelers and helped the sick who passed through the forest. They saved everything from history, from what was happening, from the powerful and the people treated at that time. The monks advised the Germanic kings and the people on what to do and what not to do and they would work as missionaries. The monks were not afraid of kings, they always told them how they felt and it was incredible at that time because the king could have anyone killed. In conclusion, I believe what the monks were doing was showing their dedication to what they believe in and this is very brave in those times, everyone obeyed the kings. The monks continue to pray to God, live in solitude and obey the abbot. I feel the greatest gratitude to the monks for saving history, because we would have no idea what happened in the past and they also have something to do with freedom..
