4 The Hills of Italy Some of Italy s mountains, like Vesuvius, are volcanic Most of Italy is covered in mountains or hills Cities were built on top of these hills for defense Rome was built on 7 hills near the Tiber River
5 The Climate of Italy Most of Italy has warm dry summers and mild rainy winters The Climate is good to grow a variety of food grains, fruits, olives Plentiful food was a key factor in Rome s early growth
6 Rome s Legendary Origins No written records exist of Rome s earliest days Ruins date back to 800 BC Legends: 1. Aeneas: story told in the book The Aeneid by the poet Virgil around 20 BC. Aeneas fled from Troy with his followers, forming an alliance with people in Italy called The Latins. Aeneas rose to prominence in Italy and strengthened his clan militarily.
7 Legends Continued 2. Romulus & Remus: Twin brothers, descendants of Aeneas. Put in a basket to drown rescued by a wolf. Finally raised by a shepherd. They planned a city to mark the spot of rescue. Romulus killed Remus in an argument. Named the city after himself. According to legend. Romulus became King of Rome in 753 BC. Roman records list seven Kings of Rome Last three kings were Etruscan people north of Rome Etruscans may have been a more advanced people influenced by Greeks 509BC Evil King overthrown by nobles Republic was created
8 From The Aeneid (pg. Aeneid) What details in this passage would make Roman Readers proud of their past? Aeneas formed an alliance with the Latins. How does the author, Virgil, portray the Latins?

Admired for his lack of ambition for power
11 Challenges within Rome Only the Patricians (wealthy nobles) could be elected to office The Plebeians ( peasants, craftsmen, traders) wanted a change and elected their own council. What will the Patricians do? They created offices in gov t only held by plebeians in order to protect plebeians rights A tripartite government was created

14 Growth of Territory & Trade Roman territory grew mostly in response to other people attacking them. One reason for success is the formation of the Army in Legions and Centuries.
15 Farming In the beginning of Rome, most Romans were farmers As Rome grew people moved into the city as wealthy Romans bought their farms and built large farms in the countryside run by slaves. VILLA
16 TRADE Roman trade also expanded as merchants brought food and goods into Rome from other lands. Roman coins began to be made.
17 The Punic Wars The Punic Wars were a series of wars fought between Rome & Carthage in North Africa (CAUSE)218 BC Hannibal leads his armies against Rome but is defeated (CAUSE)140s BC Rome attacks Carthage, burns it, killed most of the people and sells the rest into slavery Romans took control of Northern Africa Most of the Western Mediterranean region Greece and parts of Asia
18 Crises Strike the Republic As the Roman territory grew the rich again feared a revolt between the rich and poor Gracchus brothers Tiberius & Gaius, both Tribunes and both reformers Tiberius wanted to create farms for the poor on land that the wealthy had illegally taken over. There were riots and Tiberius was killed. Gaius tried the same thing a few years later and he was killed This changed politics in Rome. Leaders were attacked if the people did not like their policies.
19 Crises In 107 BC Roman Army needed more troops Gaius Marius encouraged poor people to join (before only property owners could join) Thousands of poor & unemployed joined Marius s troops were very loyal & grateful, making Marius very politically powerful. Other generals followed his lead.
20 Sulla Lucius Cornelius Sulla Consul 88 BC. Came into conflict with Marius which led to a civil war in Rome. Sulla s troops won and Sulla named himself Dictator a position reserved for times of intense war. He made sweeping changes politically, restoring great power to the Senate but making it harder to move upward in politics. Killed anyone who opposed him Gradually retired.
