Summary of your notes:

We are directing a show called 1001 ways to survive, thrive, and stay alive. This source shows that they brought
weapons such as axes and hammers. The soldiers wore armour to get protection from their opponents and officials
got safer armour that completely protected them. It also tells people how soldiers helped Rome become victorious.
By winning, they can get things like land and power. They kept conquered people under control, and built forts for
battles. Soldiers brought picks, axes, a saw, and cooking utensils, and the stakes they needed to build a camp.
Soldiers brought heavy packages that had grains in them to last about 15 days. They need to use these tools to
create things like places to stay whilst traveling.
