Notes On The Rome Test

Hello,

Here are the notes that I took today in class while Schick was talking:

- The Latin people were the first to settle in Rome

- They settled on the shores of Tiber

- Mediterranean means Middle of the Earth

- The most educated people thought that the Mediterranean was the middle, best focus of the Earth

- They thought that the gods gave Italy the location that they had because they were destined to rule

- The Latin people thought they were the best people, because they were so geographically lucky

- They drained rivers so that they could build towers and buildings in the locations where the swamps were

- Res publica, meaning the people's affairs/business of the people

- President of the United States, like a king, controls Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Army

- Representatives for United States, have at least 2 and the amount you have per state depends on the population

- The government of Rome was a monarchy and an oligarchy combined when it first formed but eventually turned into a democracy, aristocracy monarchy combined
