Ancient Rome

Ancient Rome was surrounded by Greece, Gaul, Spain and Africa. The Roman Empire stretched as far west as the British Isles.

The Roman Republic gained control of central Italy and the mountains of the south during the Latin War (340-338 BC) and the Second and Third Samnite Wars (326-304 BC and 298-290 BC). It gained control of the rest of the south (Apulia, the heel of Italy, and Calabria, the toe of Italy) when he won the Pyrrhic War (280-275 BC) against Pyrrhus, a Geek king who tried to invade southern Italy. Therefore, Rome gained control of the whole of central and southern Italy within 65 years.

Rome did not actually conquer these areas. It made alliances with the peoples who lived thre, whereby they retained autonomy in exchange for protection and for the peoples concerned supplying soldiers for the Romans at their expenses. These soldiers formed auxiliary units which supported the Roman legions. The system worked because Rome supported the local ruling elites and because she shared the spoils of war with her allies. This booty could be very large and was as an incentive to fight with the Romans. Rome also seized some territories and established Latin and Roman colonies (settlements) at strategic points to consolidate her control.

The Romans conquered northern Italy (Gallia Cisalpina) in 222 BC following an invasion of Tuscany by the Gauls who lived in northern Italy in 225 BC. During the Second Punic War (218-202 BC), the Gauls rebelled and allied with Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who invaded Italy. The Romans suppressed their rebellion by the time Hannibal's campaign in Italy was neutralised in 206 BC.

Yes patricians could vote. All male Roman citizens could vote.

Ancient Rome was a city-state until the end of theLatinWar in 338 BC. After that war, it became a Commonwealthof Latins, Campanians and Volsci. Several Latin cities were incorporated into the Republic and were given full Roman citizenship, which included the right to vote (civitas optimo jure). So were the Campanians of the city of Capua (near Naples) and her territories. The Volsci of southern Latium also became part of the Roman Republic, but with partial citizenship,withoutthe right to vote (civitas sine suffragio)

killing fighting money and power they were also interested in bloodsports....... they generated strong spectator enthusiasm.

The occupants of Italy before Rome was founded were many different ethnic groups with many different cultures and languages. They are the Latins, the Celts, the Unbrians, the Oscans, the Ligurians, the Etruscans, the Illyrians, and the Greeks. There were also mixed groups of peoples such as the Celt/Ligurians. There were also areas of ancient Italy named for the tribes that lived there, but the various tribes all belonged to one of the above ethnic groups.

Domes were used as roofs for the hot rooms of some bathhouses, which were made in circular shape to accommodate the dome. In the western part of the Roman Empire they were used for a type of temple which had a rotunda with a dome on top. The most famous of these is the Pantheon in the city of Rome, which still has the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. In the eastern part of the Roman empire the pendentive dome became popular. It was used to for churches which had two to four domes. It became one of the defining characteristics of Byzantine church architecture

Roman culture and language was inferior to that of the Greeks.

Rome has three forms of government over the 1200 years of her history: a monarchy for 244 years, a republic for 482 years and rule by emperors for 506 years. There were the patricians who were the landowning aristocracy, the equites who were bankers, moneylenders, merchants, and investors in mining and shipping and were given a lower aristocracy status, and the plebeians, who were the commoners.

The women were in charge of the house hold. And if the man of the house was reasonably wealthy he would spent a lot of time a the bath houses

Recent research has shown that the town had a large number of "bawdy" houses where the citizens would go to relax. They have found rather explicit murals on the walls.

Upon taking the throne, the first thing that Diocletian did was to ensure that he did not go the way of previous military emperors.

The Romans had a very well developed army. It was one of the first organized army. They had armor plated uniforms. powerful weapons such as the scorpion crossbow. Had the first military ranks too

It defeated Carthage militarily.

Claudius was know for taking the advise of freedmen and elevating them to high positions. He is also the emperor that officially annexed Britain.

Rome did not have a democratic ideal. She never had a true democratic system of government. Democracy was a Greek concept.

refers to the ethics, practices and values that were universally acceptable in the ancient Greek community.

As with most ancient societies and even more advanced ancient civilizations, the spiritual needs of ancient Rome were met with religion. A large number of pagan gods were worshipped in ancient Rome. In many cases the Roman government had basic pagan gods and rituals that were followed in order that the gods would be pleased with Rome's endeavours.

For government "sponsored" gods, there was the Imperial Cult as an example of a "centralized" religion. The imperial cult cut across all the lesser gods and cults. This was a unifying force that helped hold Roman society together. The Roman State appointed special priests and built special temples for the highest level gods of ancient Rome.

Are you in English and this is an extra credit question. because I have the same one. yeah. extra credit for english.

The Romans did not specialise in anything in particular. Rather, their great civilisation developed a range of specialised professions, such as professional soldiers, government bureaucrats, bankers and moneylenders, traders and merchants, farmers, sailors, engineers, architects, sculptors, mosaic makers, fresco painters, jewellers, silverware makers, tailors, shoemakers, etc.

No. Rome was on the seven Hills of Rome which were in a hilly area between the Apennines (a mountain chain which runs through the Italian peninsula) and the coast.

Romulus and Remus were said to have been the sons of Silvia Rhea, the daughter of the deposed king of Alba Longa. Ascanius, the son of Aeneas, was said to have founded Alba Longa and its royal dynasty. This bridged the 400 year gap between the date Trojan War and the date of the foundation of Rome (Aeneas was a survivor of the Trojan War which the Aeneid had landing in Latium and found the Latin city of Lavinium) because the Romans fancied themselves as descendants of the Trojans.
