- 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
