  22. Both ancient Greece & Rome had only a small amount of the rich soil needed for farming. Still some of the people were farmers. They had to farm on hillsides

  23. Because of where they lived, the Greeks & Romans needed to adapt to their environment. Ancient Greece & Rome were located along the Mediterranean Sea, so the people who lived there were traders.

  24. Since there were many mountains & hills, the Greeks built many, small communities. ***Political units made up of a city and surrounding villages sprung up called “city-states.”

  25. ***Greek city-states shared common culture and language, but choose different forms of government. Athens and Sparta were the largest city-states. ***Monarchy – ruled by Kings ***Some were ruled by a “tyrant” someone who took power illegally ***Sparta was ruled by an “oligarchy” a system ruled by a few individuals and was a military state (had two kings) ***Athens became a limited democracy where all citizens could take part in the government and make laws. Only free adult males were citizens. Women, slaves, and foreigners were not citizens

  26. ***In the early 5th century B.C., Greece was invaded by Persia (which is now Iran) ***Athens and Sparta joined forces. The Greeks won! ***Decades later Athens & Sparta fought each other in the Peloponnesian War – Sparta won The city-states were so busy focusing on the war between Sparta and Athens they didn’t notice their neighbor Macedonia was building an army to invade Greece. ***Alexander the Great from Macedonia conquered territories from North Africa, Middle East and Asia spreading Greek culture.

  27. Who was Pericles?Pericles was an Athenian statesman, so influential in Athenian history that the period of his power is called the Age of Pericles. In Athenian politics Pericles sought to enable all citizens to take an active part in the government. Payment of citizens for their services to the state was introduced, and members of the council were chosen by lot from the entire body of Athenians.Pericles believed anyone who neglects Athens is uselessPericles believed anyone who fights for their state should have a say in state affairs
