4/2/14

Today in class we took some notes:

The Latin's were the first people to settle Italy

Then Etruscans

Then the Greeks

Rome was on the Tiber river

You get many things from the river

On seven hills

Found a way to transport water from other swamps and lakes to the Tiber river

The last king Rome/Italy  ever had- Tarquin the Proud

Res publica- Latin for the people's business where the word republic comes from

They elected representatives

 

REPUBLIC

  1. Democracy
  2. Monarchy  - two consuls                                      plebeians- regular, ordinary people
  3. Aristocracy                                      patricians are the people with the money and the land.
