LO-1 Review


  • Romans like doing things like Greeks like doing it. They imitated and improved their methods especially government and welfare 
  • Roman most feared armed warfare of their time
  • In middle of peninsula (middle of mediterranean) (middle of world) middle of the earth high on hills on water
  • They thought it was perfect and given to them great location to lead and chosen to run the show
  • 3 people to settle Greece, were Latin Etreoscan and Greeks
  • 2 things to improve from Greeks was Government and Warfare
  • Started out as warfare and governemt started monarchy, but they wanted to be like Roman and they became Democracy like Greece, They have council of elders advise kings (the senate) (comes from sennex means old man from Latin) They then combined oligarchy and democracy to make Republic
  • King died senate would meet and decide who would lead, and would be some of their own to be the king did not have to be related to the previous one
  • Respublica - republic- means people business- from latin
  • Plebeian grows little stuff may keep grains to help feed family keep family and more money maybe
  • Patrician farmer has many people working for him and drinks a lot and fabulous foods and grows a lot of grains and sells for big big money
