Rome

Today in class we began our new unit thing I guess on Rome. We began with who settled Rome. We spent the most time on the Latin's because they were first, but also the Greeks and the Etruscans were on the list. We put a lot of emphasis on their version of the manifest destiny and how they were meant to rule that area; they had the Tiber river, were right in the middle of everything, and had multiple hills for their view. The last topic that we talked about was Tarquin, also known ad Lucius Tarquinias Superbus, who was the 7th and last king of Rome. After Sextus' ordeal, no other kings were allowed in rome and their whole line of family was banished. Sextus blackmailed a fair girl into having sex and she commit suicide and this is what made the people hate the concept of kings, and want to banish that line of family.
