The Etruscan emperor, Tarquin, was a horrible leader. The myth is that he sprang upon a beautiful, strong, virtuous Roman girl named Lucretia, who was hard at work. He raped her, and then swore he would kill her if she told a soul. She committed suicide from the shame of being raped, and this started a Roman rebellion against the Etruscans. The rebellion was started by Brutus, who said that there would be no more kings, but instead a republic.

What did Ancient Rome learn from Ancient Greek?

Rome built many aspects of its culture based on what the Greeks did. Their art was so closely related that historians speak of Greco-Roman art. Architecture also took several examples from Greece. It's worth noting, however, that niether the arch nor the aqueduct came from Greece. The Romans adopted those ideas from the Etruscans. Religion in early Rome basically worshipped the Greek gods under new names. They also developed quite a few philosophies based on Greek philosophy. Earlier teachings led them to come up with stoicism, but that itself is pretty unique to Rome. They also took governmental ideas from the Greeks. It is worth noting that because the Greek city-states were never grouped any closer than the Delian league at the time of the Peloponesian War, every city-state governed itself differently. The Romans adopted democracy from Athens, but changed it to a representative form. Eventually, they evolved into an empire, but also had experience with monarchy, oligarchy and tyranny. One thing that did not pass from Greece to Rome was agriculture. The Greeks raised mainly goats and olives, which were suited to the mountainous terrain on the Peloppenesus. The Romans had the advantage of flat terrain with good soil and water, which allowed for grain to be grown and a wider variety of livestock to be raised.


Why did the Romans target Jesus for execution?

There is no evidence that the Romans wanted to do this. Jesus was not a political but a religious leader. He stated to Pilate, 'my kingdom is not of this world.' Pilate however gave in to the pressure put upon him by the Jews and gave the order for his execution, despite the fact that Pilate admitted Jesus was innocent.


Who was first Jesus or the Romans?

It depends on what you mean by "come before". Timewise, the Romans were established many years before Jesus. However in the Bible the term "come before" means that Jesus had to stand before the Romans, that is, Pilate, for judgement as Pilate was the highest Roman official in the city and he was the only one who could pass a death sentence.
