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!

Plot the following coordinates (city locations) and then use your word bank to identify them. Use an atlas, textbook, or map to label the other items in your word bank
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
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
Roman Republic
Roman 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!
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
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 (?)
Romance Languages
Latin was spoken throughout the Roman Empire
After the collapse of the Empire, places become more localized and new dialects formed
Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian (main ones)
All are related to Vulgar Latin and developed between 500-
800CE
English NOT a Romance Language, although England was occupied by the Romans
Latin French Spanish Italian English
