Hello, It's Rome

In Western Civ today Ben, Jack, and Matt sang Hello by Adele but like a Rome version (twice). And then we took notes on a Rome Powerpoint and here they are:

Rome

etruscans

• came from north central part of peninsula 
• first people to come to Rome 
• metal workers, artists, and architects 
• Romans often did things the Greeks did 
• Latins were the real people who settled first 
• descendants of Indo-Euorpeans 
• settled on banks of the Tiber 

Romulus won- ROME

• thought they were special because of their location to everything (thought "center" of the world) 
• drained a swamp because it affected the land and the Tiber 
• Tarquin the Proud's grandpa built the Cloaca Maxima that channeled water into the Tiber 

Tarquin the Proud:

• also known as Tarquin the arrogant 
• the seventh and final king of Rome 
• true tyrant in every way 
• Roman people had Tarquin and his family expelled from Rome 
• never wanted  king again 

Government

• two consuls 
• elected officials 
• served one year in office 
• always patricians 
• like our executive branch 
• could veto each other 
• duties: dealing dealing justice, making laws, commanding army 
• they couldn't run again until after 10 years
