Notes on Rome
- The Latins were the first people to settle on the shores of the Tiber River
- The Mediterranean Sea mean "middle" or "center of the world". This is because people who lived near it had no idea there was more land and other seas on the other side of the world
- The Latins drained a swamp so it would dry out and they could build on it (smart idea)
- Tarquin was a harsh king and the people wanted to get rid of him. So the people ran him out of town.
- When the Romans got rid of Tarquin, they set up a government.
- They rolled 3 different governments together and called it a Republic
- Republic- part monarchy, part democracy, and aristocracy
- The USA is a republic and got the idea from the Romans
- Even building with the tall pillars was originally Roman architecture and that's where we got that architecture from
