We took notes on Rome today in class. Mr. Schick used the
rap he created to teach us the history of Rome. Here are my notes:
-
The Latins were the first settlers followed by
the Greeks and the Etruscans
-
Rome and the River Tiber are located right in
the middle of the peninsula
-
The people believed that they were blessed by
the gods with their geographical location
-
The Mediterranean was pretty much their world
-
The myth about how Rome was founded: Remus and
Romulus raised by a she-wolf
-
Romulus won the sibling battle for power and
thus the name Rome
-
The Romans drained a swamp so they could build
-
Similar to Washington D.C. (coincidence? I think
not)
-
Tarquin the Proud was ostracized for being a
harsh tyrant
-
He was the very last king in Rome
-
The Romans rolled 3 governments into 1:
Democracy, Aristocracy, and Monarchy
-
Patricians: rich people Plebeians: middle class
-
Consuel- most power in charge of military
-
Split it up between 2 different people with the
power of veto
-
“respublica”: means the people’s affairs
-
Republic- the gov. of Rome also of the U.S.A.
