Location of Rome Protected from Sea Invasion On river’s easiest crossing, center of land
trade routes.

Roman Gov’t Est A republic: form of gov’t where
voters elect officials to run the state. Vote: ONLY adult males 3 main groups of citizens governed: Senate, Popular Assembly, and
Officials (called magistrates)
![Page 10: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Senate Most powerful of 3
governing bodies. 300 members Jobs: Controlled public
funds Decided foreign policy Could act as court In times of
emergency: propose dictator (only ruled for 6 mo)
![Page 11: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2. Popular Assemblies Citizens get together and vote on laws and
elected officials Some assemblies voted on war or peace, some
had judicial roles. Tribunes: (10 elected officials) elected by
assemblies. Job: could refuse to approve Senate bills and judged actions of public officials. (checks and balances!)
![Page 12: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
3. Magistrates Public officials 2 Consuls : Chief
executives (like Presidents) Jobs: Ran gov’t and military
commanders. Appointed dictators Powers: Could veto (Latin
for ”I forbid”) acts of other consul, governed with the advice of the Senate.
![Page 13: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
To help Consuls: Romans elected Praetors: commanded
armies in times of war and oversaw legal system in peace. They also created lists of potential judges and jurors.
![Page 14: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Census! Censors: Elected every 5 years only for
18mos. Job: registered citizens acc to wealth, could apt candidates to Senate, and oversaw moral conduct of citizens.
![Page 15: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Checks and Balances Prevented any one part of the gov’t from
becoming too powerful.
![Page 16: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Let’s make this more confusing!
Changes were made to the composition of the assemblies and elected officials based on the common people’s attempts to win more rights.
![Page 17: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Conflict of the Orders Roman Society divided b/w 2 social
classes after 509 BC: patricians and plebians.
Patricians: powerful aristocratic class. Controlled gov’t. Provided financial, social, and legal support in exchange for political backing and loyalty.
Plebians: All other citizens.
![Page 18: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Plebians suffered Couldn’t hold public office or serve in the
military. Didn’t know what the laws were because
they weren’t written down! Judge stated laws and inly Patricians were judges.
![Page 19: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Changes Made Plebians demanded change and led
strikes. Eventually forced Romans to write down laws.
The Twelve Tables: placed in public square.
![Page 20: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
More rights for Plebians By 300BC, wealthy Plebians AND
Patricians joined to form Roman Nobility.
Then, only POOR people discriminated against, not Plebians.
![Page 21: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Officials Limited Only rich nobles could hold office, b/c of lack of salary. Nobles controlled the Senate and dominated the
republic.

Main Ideas about gov’t Roman government was supposed to give
normal people (poor) a voice in gov’t There were checks and balances to
ensure that certain parts of gov’t didn’t get too powerful
If people felt like they weren’t getting a fair deal, they could appeal to try to change the way the gov’t was run.
![Page 23: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Extending the Republic Many wars. Army: all adult males w/min property
must serve army. Strict discipline in army. Good org,
training, high morale
![Page 24: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Parts of the Army Legions: most imp unit (4500-6000 male
citizens) Auxilia: army units of non-citizen men.

Wise Policies Conquered people also got partial
citizenship and political power Could own property and marry but not
vote. Rome made treaties and alliances
w/distant cities. Allies promised to help military in times of need.
![Page 26: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conquered Regions Also, conquered people provided land for
resettled farmers. Helped to maintain military control, spread language, law and culture.
![Page 27: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Roman Expansion The entire Italian peninsula south of
Rubicon River
![Page 33: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Burden of defending Conflict with Carthage (originally
Phoenician colony) powerful city on coast of N. Africa.
Fought 3 wars b/w 264 and 146 BC: Punic Wars
Rome=better army, easier to defend Carthage=better navy, more wealth
![Page 34: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
1st Punic War Rome won in 241 BC Carthage had to pay (indemnity) for
damages caused to Rome. Gave up control of Sicily.
![Page 35: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
2nd Punic War (218 BC) Hannibal: created army in Spain
w/infantry, cavalry and war elephants! Crossed Alps from France into Italy: many
died!
Video:Roman Empire101: HannibalAnd his elephant
![Page 36: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Hannibal is one crazy awesome general!
Won many victories against the Romans. BUT Rome invaded N. Africa and turned
the tables. Battle of Zama.
![Page 37: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Rome wins 2nd Punic War Again, Carthage pays indemnity and
gives up navy and Spanish colonies.
![Page 38: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
3rd Punic War Some Romans hated Carthage at this
point, sieged Carthage, enslaved population.
Salted their fields!
![Page 39: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Conquest of Hellenistic East
Won war with Macedonia in 197 BC
![Page 40: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Problems of Roman Expansion Larger territory forced change in
operation. Senate gained almost complete control
of army and foreign policy. Nobles gained more power.
![Page 41: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
No more freebie citizenships
New territories only given rules and taxes!
![Page 42: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Provinces Separately Governed by someone appointed by
Senate. NOT closely monitored. Often took bribes and ignored needs of the people. Tax collectors lined pockets.
![Page 43: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Changes in Agriculture Large estates w/slaves
(Latifundia) Rome depended on grain
from provinces. Farmers lost land and
livestock during Punic Wars and were forced to sell what they had and move into the cities . Some couldn’t find jobs and depended on gov’t for food.
Worse: couldn’t serve in military!
![Page 44: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Growth of Commerce and Social Change
Inc. trade. New class of business and landowners
(equites) had great wealth and increased political influence.
![Page 45: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Many jobless Weakened ideals of discipline and
devotion to the state.

Exchange of ideas New religions and cultures from
conquered territories. Slaves taken from territories. Some
treated badly. Spartacus! Slave. Led revolt but killed.
6000 of his followers crucified.
![Page 47: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

The 1st Triumverate Julius Caesar: popular Good speaker, gained support from poor
citizens of Rome. Made him UNPOPULAR with Senate so he
teamed up w/2 generals: Gaius Pompey and Licinius Crassus to create the 1st Triumverate
![Page 57: Rome](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051421/56816449550346895dd61107/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
