9 More Days

Today in class we took notes on Rome, those notes are:
  • Mediterranean = middle earth.
  • Latin's settled in Italy first.
    • Settled on the shores of Tiber.
    • They thought the gods gave them that location because they were designed to rule.
    • Geographically lucky.
    • They drained a swamp so they could use that land.
    • Tarquin (harsh king) caused people to rebel.
    • Their next government mixed a democracy, aristocracy, and a monarchy together.
  • Res Publica (republic) - the business of the people.
  • The President of the United States, like a king, controls the Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Army.
    • Unlike the Greeks, the USA can't vote on very government decision. (like Rome)
  • Patricians met at the Senate.
  • Plebeians met at the Assembly.  
For my project I am working with Leah and Maddie and we are baking a Ancient Roman recipe.
