Is it okay to love a boy at age 11?
It's not quite possible to LOVE a boy at the age of 11, because that is the age that your head is all over the place, in a little while you may not even like the boy. Im 11 and i like a boy at school, and i really like him, but i dont love him! You will just have a Puppy Crush on the guy. And thats sweet and maybe he likes you too. Having a crush is just the same as love just a little bit less, but dont feel you should love a boy because your friend does, or you feel you should because you only like him a bit. Your friend WON'T love the guy either. Your still growing up, so it's fine just to Fancy him or have slight feelings for him.
Thats my advice, i say just like them the way you want, but dont take it to far if he doesnt like you.

Amazons (Androktones): Race of warrior women in Greek mythology that lived in Scythia, near the Black Sea, or in Pontus, in Asia Minor. The Amazons were reputed to cut off or burn off their right breast to facilitate the use of the javelin and bow, their principle weapons, and they did most of their fighting on horseback. They also carried with them a crescent-shaped shield, and they worshipped Artemis, the virgin goddess of the hunt. To reproduce they took men deemed suitable from neighboring societies and mated with them in the forest. Female offspring were raised to be warriors while males were killed, blinded, or crippled. In the instances where the lives of the male offspring were spared, they would be used by the Amazons as a source of male seed for the future. The Amazons would also take male prisoners-of-war as sex slaves, killing them when their purposefulness expired or keeping them alive as a future source of male seed. _______________________________________________________ Archaeological discoveries in the early 2000's indicate that the Amazons may not have been as mythological as previously thought. Graves of warriors have been discovered, with swords, daggers, javelins, bows, and arrows, and all of the skeletons found have been female. The graves were discovered near the Black Sea, close to where the Greek historian Herodotus placed the Amazons, but they date to the Fifth Century AD, about a thousand years after Herodotus. It is not known if these female warriors were the legendary Amazons or not.

What best describes the early Roman government's position on religion?
The Romans were actually pretty open minded and tolerant towards other religions, but only if they did not cause any problems, probably such as trying to convert others, protesting, causing riots, etc.
Addition:
Religion was treated as a compact between Rome and the gods - if Romans gave the gods due honour, the gods would look after the interests of them and the city.
Their religion is best described as polytheism, ie many gods, each of whom had a special function covering a specific area of activity, ie Neptune the sea, Diana hunting etc; there was a high god, Jupiter who oversaw the gods.
The gods paralleled those of other peoples, and the Romans recognised without any rancour that Jupiter (Jan-pater = Janus the Father) was the same as the Greek god Zeus. An example of this recognition and tolerance was that when Pompey the Great captured Jerusalem, he immediately went up to the temple to pay his respects to the Jewish high god Jehovah. He was a bit puzzled when he peeped behind the curtain and there was no statue of the god there, however he made a sacrifice to him, accepting that Jupiter=Zeus=Jehovah, same god, different language.
Religious hate and wars came with the offshoots of Jehovah who later was claimed to be the only god, which was taken up by its offshoots Christianity and Islam with disastrous results, even to today.
