Tarquin The Proud

Here are the notes below that I recorded...

-He was a Tyrant who was not goo to his people
-A very bad leader who all he cared about was himself
-Everyone was waiting for him to die to get a new leader
-They waited for him to die because they had a monarchy which means the King is there until he dies , there is no reelection
-And even if he died most likely his son would take over which would be even worse
-Brand new Republic ready to run Democracy, Aristocracy, and Monarchy.
-The Roman Legion had 5000 soldiers, and were not in for pay but because it was their duty for their nation

Punic Wars
-One of the most interesting things I heard in the notes was that in the war they used elephants instead of horses which is a great idea because they are more effective in size, strength, and power.
-Instead of going right at Rome to take it over, they went all the way around and Rome was not ready and they took it over.
