2. HISTORICAL INFORMATION Curia Julia built in 44 BC under Julius Caesar Mussolini marched on Rome in October of 1922 The King Victor Emanuel III then handed power over to him and the Fascist party “The Master Plan” The third Rome New Building projects – getting back to their roots Some propaganda he used in order to be associated with Augustus: Changing year to roman numerals and using E.F.

5. USING TWINE Interactive story from the point of view of an archaeologist hired by Mussolini to excavate the Curia Julia Will have to deal with pressure from the church and Mussolini Be careful what you do or say, you might just disappear Easy to use, but took a while to figure out Thank God for YouTube…
