Rome Notes

  • Latins were the first to settle in ancient Rome
  • People in Rome felt they were destined to do something amazing because they lived in the middle of the middle of the earth- they were very ambitions 
  • They drained a swamp into the River Tiber so they could settle on that land
  • Tarquin the Proud was a harsh king who the people over threw 
  • With out the burden of the king, the people made a new government. It had three different governments (democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy) rolled into one, called a republic 
  • plebeian- common person
  • patricians- rich people; aristocrats 
  • consuls- two people with the most power who could veto each other
