Origins of Rome Historians do not know exactly how Rome came to be, but
later Romans came up with legends that explained their origins.
We will be working in groups of three to four to explore the two famous legends surrounding the founding of Rome.
We will be watching short video clips, working with complex texts, and working collaboratively to sort the details out!

Early Italy THE ETRUSCANS First people in Italy (?) Different language, religion,
and culture Women seemed to have high
status, depicted in art, mentioned in burials
What we know of them comes from archeological finds and their descriptions in Greek and Roman histories
Latins adapted their style of clothing, city layout (hill, ditch, wall) some of their words, social class
THE LATINS A tribe that lived in the area
that is now Rome Spoke a older form of Latin Did not leave many written
records Loosely unified settlements,
ethnically Latins The king of the Latins,
Latinus met with Aeneas, he marries his daughter Lavinia and builds a new capital city.
Eventually, this line is supposed to have produced Romulus and Remus
![Page 25: Ancient Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816172550346895dd0fc84/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So... Rome?We can divide it's history into three main pieces or eras: Kingdom, Republic, and Empire Roman Kingdom 753 BCE- 509 BCE Founded in 753 BCE Ruled as a monarchy (Romulus first king) Romulus is said to have create the senate 300 of the best
individuals After each king died, a new king would be voted in The last king was a cruel tyrant, over thrown in 509 BCE Leaders of the rebellion became the first to consuls of the
Roman Republic
![Page 26: Ancient Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816172550346895dd0fc84/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Roman RepublicRoman Republic 509 BCE- 27 BCE
Consuls voted in each year, they can veto each other and guided by the senate
Check and balances! Typically high offices were reserved for Patricians
Plebs/Plebeians were just about everyone besides Patricians: shop keepers, merchants, skilled craftsmen, unskilled laborers.
Many of Rome's wealthiest families end up being Plebian
A series of political conflicts from 494-287 BCE sought to level the class differences
Once equal representation in gov’t. achieved, those Plebeians in office became more Patrician
Revolution!
![Page 27: Ancient Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816172550346895dd0fc84/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Roman Empire 27 BCE – 476 CE (Western)/ 330-1453 CE (Eastern) Julius Caesar elected as Consul in 59 BCE
He and his two close friends form a political alliance (triumvirate) which basically voids the power of the other consul member
After his year is up, Caesar leaves Rome and becomes a governor and then lead military campaigns to the north
Political rivals back in Rome – He cannot come back 49 BCE Crosses the Rubicon River (an act of Civil War) 48 BCE Caesar appointed dictator of Rome
![Page 28: Ancient Rome](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816172550346895dd0fc84/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Caesar Continued Must fight off his rivals to secure his power
Chases his enemy Pompey to Egypt Egyptian Pharaoh serves his head on a platter, Caesar not
pleased Cleopatra is the pharaoh's brother, Caesar appoint her to throne
Major reforms of the Republic Make distant provinces loyal to Rome-appoint reps in senate Grants citizenship to loyal non-Romans Julian calendar (solar, aligned with seasons vs. lunar) Term limits, luxury taxes, land distribution

Division of Roman Empire
Empire became too large/unstable Emperor Diocletian divided Empire into four pieces-
tetrarchy in 293 CE, by 324 CE empire would be rejoined
330 CE Emperor Constantine moves capital to “New Rome” aka Constantinople Dynastic rule returns of whole empire
395 CE Emperor Theodosius dies Sons inherit East and West, perm. split

Fall of Empire Political corruption, barbarian invasions, disease,
natural disasters, ineffective leadership, division of the empire, stagnant economy, civil wars, breakdown of morals have all been proposed as contributing factors
476 CE a Germanic soldier Odoacer overthrows last emperor of Western Roman Empire and declares himself king
Eastern half of the Empire will continue on as the Byzantine Empire until 1453 CE when the Ottomans capture Constantinople

Greek vs. Roman Gods
Roman religion result of indigenous Latin beliefs and Greek influences
Same Greek gods, new names
Lares were personal household spirits or deities that were worshiped by specific families, throwback to the Etruscans (?)
