Here are the notes below that we took today...
Who settled in Rome?
-Came from the North-central part of the peninsula
-Metalworkers, artists, architects
-Two different foundations plus the story of Remus and Romulus
Who else settled Rome?
-They had many colonies around the Mediterranean Sea
-Romans borrowed ideas from them, such as:
1. Religious beliefs
2. Alphabet
3. Much of their Art
4. Military Techniques and weapons
But who first settled there?
-The Latins
-The descendants of Indo Europeans
-Settles on the banks of the Tiber
-Situated so trading ships but no war fleets could navigate as far ass Rome but no further
-A commercial port, but not susceptible to attack
-And built on seven hills
They Drained a Swamp
-Man=y streets named after the Tiber
-There areas a marshy called the Forum between the Palestine and Capitoline Hills
-Tarquin the Proud grandfather built the Cloaca Maxima (Largest Ancient Drain) which channeled water to the Tiber River
Now Tarquins kinda proud but he got a little loud
-Lucius Tarquins Superbus
-The seventh and final king of Rome
-Known as Tarquin the Proud
-A true Tyrant in the old and modern sense of the word
People were so shocked at this horrible behavior the family made them never want to be subject to the of kings ever again this was an that lasted forever
