Ancient Rome in 20 minutes

Two thousand years ago Rome was a tiny tribal settlement of the Latins by the river Tiber. It was at the crossroads of their trade routes that Rome appeared. The Romans invented the Latin alphabet by adapting the Greek letters for their own needs. The Roman. peace or Pax Romana serves as the first. example of globalization. The city was shaken by a sex scandal involving the son. of King Tarquin, the proud raped the. chaste Lucret. Lucret became the first ruler of the city as legend has it. Rome offered migrants a unique opportunity to become fully fledged. citizens. this will make Rome the largest. metropolitan city of the ancient world. The. Romans believed they were the descendants of refugees from the Middle East who had survived the Trojan. War and were the great. grandchildren of the Trojan hero Aeneas. the. brothers quarrelled and Romulus killed. Remus gave his name to the city and. became its first ruler as legend has it and. there were seven kings each of which. enjoyed a lengthy reign and left some beneficial legacy a calendar a Sioux. system or the capitolium a temple to the. senior god Jupiter. Much of what the Romans later became famous for aqueducts. bridges perhaps even the gladiatorial. games were borrowed from the. Etruscan people whose language has. never been fully deciphered to the south. It is surprising. that their last Kings were E Truscan Rome and. borrowed her military and government organization from them while maintaining. her Stern patriarchal simplicity. from 509 to the present day the. Roman. capital is located on seven hills on the outskirts of Rome, Italy. The capital city of Italy is. on. seven hills capital of Italy but that is. today two thousand years ago there it was. another thousand years of the Roman. history and yes those numerals are also. a Roman legacy what is Rome City on. the seven hills of Italy. Today they cover half. the world as for the ancient Romans the boundaries of the states encompassed. the Roman. language. The letters that the Romans gave us. derived from Latin today are called the near the countries whose languages. derived from Latin. and they are used in many languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Spanish and Italian. and many other languages. They are also known as the Roman Roman numerals or the Roman letters or the Romans' Roman alphabet or the Romano-Lusitanian numerals. They were used by the Romans from the 4th century to the 5th century. and are still used today by the Roman Empire and other ancient nations. They also have their own version of the Latin numerals called the Roman Latin alphabet, the Roman Lusignan numerals, which are used to write the Roman calendar. and the Roman alphabet. today they cover half the world and are used by many countries including the U.S. and other European nations. It's a Roman legacy that is also. part of the reason why Rome is the largest metropolitan city in the world. today. the Romans believed that there. was a safe haven for outcasts murderers and runaway slaves. from the very start. the city was a haven for outcasts and outcasts of the middle class. The ancient Romans believed there. were descendants of refugees who had survived the Trojan War. and were. the great grandchildren of the Mideast. and had been nursed by an Italian she-wolf.
