Day 23: Back to Blogging (4/12/16)

Last week, my doge ate my blogs. My apologies!

Here is some notes I have, you know, from the Rome PPT we have been viewing in class. 

Who settled in Rome?
Etruscans
-Came from north central part of the peninsula. They were metal-workers, artists and architects.

Foundation Myths:
-Virgils Aeneid
-The storyof Remus and Romulus (raised by wolfs).

Greeks
-They have colonies all over the mediterranean sea.
-Romans borrowed ideas from them, such as:

-Alphabet
-Art
-Religious Beliefs
-Military Techniques and Weaponry.

Latins were first
-descendants of Indo-Europeans
-settled on Tiber
-allowed trading ships, but not war fleets (thanks to the thickness of the river)
-It was built  on 7 hills.

Tarquin the proud
-Lucius tarquinius superbus
-The servent and final king of Rome
-Known as Tarquin the Proud
-A true Tyrant.

Rule of Kings were replaced by two conculs ("gotta be better than one").



The notes will continue next blog >:).
