According to the fashionable theory, the Etruscans conquered Rome and provided the last three kings of the seven kings of the Roman monarchy. However, this theory has been challenged. It is based on flimsy evidence and on unproven assumptions.

Who tried to fight against the Romans and how successful were they?
The Romans, in the years of expanding their republic (and later their empire), came into conflict with many different adversaries. From North African Carthaginians, which was a colony from Phoenicia(a people who, in ancient times, lived in the Canaan), Hellenes(Greeks), Macedonians(A Hellenic people of Alexander the Great fame), Israelite Jews(The Originals) and Ptolemaic(A Hellenic Diadochi state) Egyptians. By some means or another, whether political or through warfare, the Romans always came out in the end to subjugate the foreign populace and expand their empire. Most civilizations at the time could not keep up with the efficiency by which Rome could prepare and expend troops, and on top of this Rome had an advanced system of close-combat swordsmanship and were ultimately very versatile in adapting the strategies of other warriors if necessary. Even though Rome could conquer Britain, it seemed unable to, just as the Angles, Saxons and Jutes a few centuries later, conquer the native Pictish people of Scotland. Whether this was due to some tactic related to the cold Scottish winter making it difficult to wage war or if the Pictish people were more unified than the other tribes in England at the time, I am unsure... What is certain is that the Romans were unable to enforce hegemony in their land.
How did short sword helped Romans army?
I don`t know, maybe the Romans were too lazy :) But to answer your question, the Romans already thought that their spears were long enough to jab their opponents. So they thought their swords should be short for close range, the opponent about 2-4 feet away from them. Another theory is that they used to knock their opponents with their shield so that the opponent becomes dizzy or unaware of what`s going on, so that the Romans have the opportunity to jab them freely. This only happens when the opponent gets too close to him.
What barbaric things did the Romans do?
Massive amounts of slavery. In Gaul the average price for a human slave was the same amount as a cask of Italian wine. Invaded and took control of large parts of Europe, the Middle East and Africa by force killing millions of people in the process. Destroyed the native cultures of the people they subdued in a process of Romanisation, (See Tacitus' Agricola chapter 21, I think, for a good section about the Romanisation of the Britons) The first Roman Emperor Augustus had the son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar murdered because he could have been a threat to his rule. The Emperors Nero and Caligula both did terrible unspeakable things to their close female relatives. Killed vast numbers of early Christians for their beliefs which were at that time not tolerated by the Roman state. It was not against the law for a Roman man to kill his wife if he suspected her of cheating on him with another man. Nor was it against the law for a Roman man to kill his daughter if she tried to marry without his permission. The Romans liked to watch people kill each other in the arena as a form of entertainment.
In Medieval Times why did people wear bells?
People would be forced to wear bells in medieval times because they committed a crime, such as rape. They forced the rapist to wear the bell to warn others when they were in close proximity.
To what extent did the Roman civilization spread throughout the world through the movement of people?
Roman civilisation did not spread throughout the world. It spread through the Roman Empire and influenced some peoples who lived near its borders. Most of the world did not have contact with the Romans. The movement of people was certainly an important factor in the spread of Roman civilisation, though it was not the only one. A key role in spreading Roman civilisation was the establishment of Roman colonies (settlements) throughout the empire, partly to strengthen Roman control and partly to give land to Roman farmers who did not have enough land and landless Romans. This was a major factor in the latinisation of the empire. Contact though travel by traders in a flourishing trade and the taking of large number of slaves to Rome were other factors. Being under Roman administration also contributed as the conquered peoples had to deal with Roman officials The emperors also actively promoted the spread of an imperial ideology to justify their rule, bring the conquered people close to Rome and foster a more homogeneous empire.

Which are three common English words for which there is no Latin word?
One common English language word for which there's no Latin word is typewriter. The office equipment was invented long after the days of the ancient Romans. So the Romans carved or wrote everything down by hand.Another example is shotgun. The ancient Romans developed a militant civilization. But guns hadn't been invented. So they didn't number among the Romans' brutal weapons of suppression.Still another example is airplane. The ancient Romans built roads and traveled far and wide by horses, horse drawn vehicles, human propelled litters, and ships. But planes hadn't been invented. So the Romans had to be contented with mere dreams of human flight by way of the myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and fell to his death.

Why were the roads so important to the culture of ancient Romans?
The ancient Romans kept expanding their empire, at least well up into England, if not Scotland. To defeat the people already living in land that they wanted, their large armies could defeat nearly any opposing army. For the Roman armies of marching men, horse-riding leaders and especially chariot soldiers, roads were a necessity not only for the armies to get to, or at least close to the fighting, but also to enable movement of the large amount of non-soldier traffic needed to supply the soldiers. The roads also enabled message runners to run faster to deliver their messages.
