  20. How Did We Do?

  21. Roman Dragon…

  22. For Labeling Your Maps

  23. On Your Maps… 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 • (41˚N, 12˚E) • (32˚N, 35˚E) • (51˚N, 0˚E) • (49˚N, 2˚E) • (37˚N, 10˚E) • (38˚N, 24˚E) • (31˚N, 30˚E) • (35˚N, 36˚E) • (32˚N, 44˚E) • (41˚N, 29˚E)

  24. 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

  25. 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

  26. 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!

  27. 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

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

  29. 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) Romance Languages All are related to Vulgar Latin and developed between 500-800CE English NOT a Romance Language, although England was occupied by the Romans
