Rome

Etruscans
  • Made their cities with a grid system
  • Made lots of brick road work
  • Started Gladiator fighting
  • Gladiator fighting distracted poor people
  • Created the arc

Roman Government
  • Democracy, Aristocracy, and monarchy mixed together
  • The plebeians had no power
  • The Patricians were the wealthy people
  • The twelve tables were the first laws
  • The plebeians has more rights after the twelve tables
  • The assembly was representation for the plebeians
  • If you were elected to the assembly you were a tribune
  • Had two councils (monarchy)
  • You were only a council for one year
  • If things went  badly wrong one person would have all the power, a dictator
  • The dictator would only dictate for 6 months
