Rome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 main groups to settle in Rome:

• Latin's were the first people to settle in Rome
• Etruscans and Greeks
• River: Tiber river
• 7 hills so you can see your enemies coming
• They thought Rome was so perfectly located, they thought it was their destiny
• They drained part of the swampy area and stuff so they could build stuff on that part of the land
• They said lets change everything
• Diverting the flow of the river
• Tarquin the Proud was the last king that Rome/Italy ever knew
• They ran him out of town
• Res publica: the people's business
• They voted to elect people to represent them

Republic

1. Democracy
2. Monarchy
3. Aristotcracy

2 consuls

• President is like a king
• The senate is worth a lot of dough(money)
• 100 senates in all 2 per state
• The senates are like the aristocracy from back then
