3. you would need to build a civilization

4. you would get more people to join your civilization by doing the advertising

Yes, Tiberius Gracchus was killed. The senate plotted to kill him. Tiberius signalled the crowd that his life was endangered. His opponents interpreted this as a sign that he requested a crown. The head of Roman religion (the Pontifex Maximus) led the senators and a crowd to Tiberius. Tiberius and more than 300 of his supported were beaten to death with clubs, staves made from benches and stones and their bodies were thrown in the river Tiber.

The republic had been established some 370 years earlier with the overthrow of the monarchy because the last king was a tyrant and the citizens were made to swear never to have a king again. Being accused of tying to become a king was an accusation which had resulted to the death penalty in the past.

The conspirators want Cicero to join the conspiracy becasue it will be more convincing once he lures Caesar to see the Senate the day he's assinated.

Early people in Rome were known as "Earomians". They were a primitive group of people commonly associated with "cavemen", however their characteristics were much different. They resembled spheres atop legs with faces and arms. Bones of these "Earomians" have been found in many places all over the planet, proving that the Roman Empire conquered more than we have commonly believed.

About the only resemblance Roman chariot races and our horse races have today is the betting on the outcome. True we have harness racing where one horse pulls a cart, but the horse has to be controlled, that is, he has to run at a pace or a trot. The Romans, however, had rather light weight racing chariots pulled by (usually) four horses and they ran at breakneck speed four times around the circuit.

Well the Romans really only had like one or two wars. But in the war(s) they fought MANY battles. Some of which were long enough for them to be technically classified as wars, though they weren't.

The number of Roman military engagements which were long enough to be classified as being wars was far more that one of two. Here are just some examples: the three Samnite Wars; 2, 22, and 8 years; the Pyrrhic war: 5 years; the three Punic wars: 23, 18, and 3 years; the four Macedonian wars: 9, 4, 2, and 2 years; The Seleucid war: 4 years; the Gallic wars: 8 years. You also need to take into account that in those days armies did not fight during the winter and that even these days wars are on and off battles, not continuous fighting. Wars need preparation of strategies, battles need to be planned and war efforts need to be made sustainable.

There is one main difference between the ancient aqueducts and our water systems is that the water from the aqueducts went directly to the people (or to a holding tank, as in Pompeii) Our water is piped like an aqueduct, but it goes through a filtration system to rid it of pollutants and harmful bacteria.

When the levy of peasant farmers for the campaigning season of the year ended and was replaced by voluntary service (with the Marian reforms of the army of 107 BC), the length of service was 16 years. Under Augustus in became twenty years. About 10% of the soldiers in a legion also served for five years as reservists after they completed their regular service. They remained with the legion, but they were exempt from regular camp duties. They were meant to be called on only in emergencies, but this was soon eroded.

People in ancient Rome did what people everywhere do. They worked, ate, slept and worshipped their religion. The rich lived an opulent lifestyle and the poor struggled to survive. They also fought wars

The Romans loved entertainments. Their favourite ones were the gladiatorial contests, chariot races and animal hunts.

Clovis was not from ancient Rome. He was a Frank. He became the first king of the Franks and he united them under his rule. He expanded his kingdom from Holland, Belgium, northern France and central Germany. He conquered Gaul (apart from its southeast) taking its central area from a Roman rump state (the Domain of Soissons), the southwest from the Visigoths and the east form the Burgundians. He conquered the lands in Alemanni in southern Germany, Switzerland and north-eastern France (Alsace and Lorraine). He conquered the lands of the Thuringians in part of central Germany and Bohemia (Czech Republic). He converted from paganism to Catholicism.

The Romans did not settle in Rome, they already lived there. The earliest evidence of human settlement in the area of Rome dates to the 14th or 13th century BC, some 700-600 before the given date of the foundation of Rome in 753 BC.

The foundation of Rome involved the creation of the Roman state, not the building of a new city. Romulus, the founder of Rome and its fist king, unified the independent settlements on what were to become the Seven Hills of Rome (the Palatine, Capitoline, Caelian, Esquiline, Viminal, Quirinal and Aventine hills) under his rule. It was also said that the foundation of Rome involved a fusion between Latins and Sabines.

It is incorrect to say the reign of Caesar because he was neither a king nor an emperor. During his five years of rule Rome was still a Republic. Caesar expanded Roman influence by conquering Gaul and adding it to Roman territories. His rule was marked by civil war between himself and his opponents which ended not long before he was assassinated. The battles of the civil war were fought around the empire: Spain, Greece, Egypt and Tunisia. The empire was divided between supporters of Caesar and supporters of his opponents.

After Caesar's death there were further civil wars. Augustus emerged victorious and became sole ruler and the first Roman Emperor. He restored order and took control of the politics and the administration of the empire. He created efficient bureaucratic machinery and promoted thriving trading networks around the empire and beyond (Arabia, Persia, China, India and Ethiopia). He also expanded the empire. He annexed Egypt and completed the conquest of Spain. He annexed client stated of Rome: Judea, Cappadocia, Galatia (in Turkey) Thrace (eastern Bulgaria) Moesia (western Bulgaria, the Macedonian Republic and southern Serbia) and Pannonia (western Hungary and eastern Austria). He conquered the Alpine region to improve the defence of Italy: Rhaetia (central and eastern Switzerland, much of southern Germany and the Tyrol) and Noricum (Slovenia and most of Austria).

The foundation of Rome does not refer to the building of a city. It refers to the creation of the Roman state (or city-state). It involved the unification of existing settlements, which were separate and independent, on what were to become the seven hills of Rome into a single state headed by a king. Therefore, Rome was created by the locals.

After they meet at Brutus's house they plan to murder Caesar the next day.

Julius Caesar was assassinated by his Senate. In the play by Shakespeare, his last words were, "Et tu, Brutus," because the leader of the Senate, Brutus, who delivered the final blow. The words translate to, "And you, Brutus?"

Chariot races were an extremely popular sport in ancient Rome for many of the same reasons that horse racing is popular in today's world. It was first of all, exciting. There was always the chance of an accident or a spill. It could be lucrative if you bet on a favorite driver and he won. And perhaps best of all, it was free entertainment.

Imperial Rome is the term used for the principate, where there was one man in supreme authority. This is sometimes erroneously called the "empire". The republican form of government was one of elected officials, headed by two consuls.
