Constantine was the Roman emperor who ended the persecution of Christians.  Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld.  Jupiter and Juno were a Roman god and goddess that were husband and wife.  Aphrodite and Venus are the Greek and Roman names for the goddess of love.  The Romans honored their gods and goddesses by praying and offering food.  Islam means surrendering to the will of god.  Belief in one God is what Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have in common.  Jesus was from Nazareth.  In the organization of the Christian Church, the laity was the largest group, the patriarchs were the smallest, and archbishops supervised bishops.  The Byzantine Empire lasted about 1000 years.  Silk weaving was a major Byzantine industry.  Byzantine women mainly stayed home and raised children.

           The population in China during the Tang dynasty was 50 million.  Early-ripening rice was introduced into China during A.D. 960-A.D. 1279.  Farming improved under the Tang dynasty because the countryside was at peace, better rice had been developed, and the Tang gave land to farmers.  The earliest printing process used cuts on blocks of wood.  Mongols were known for being fierce warriors.  The Chinese invented gunpowder.  Students preparing for civil service examinations in China never did any physical work.  The compass helped ships sail farther from home.  The Forbidden City was home to emperors.  Zheng He traveled to Southeast Asia and India among other places.
