Today in class we answered the questions about Rome. We went over about the fact that they would take the Greeks ideas and make them into their own. They did this with their republic government which is basically a democracy, except it gives more power to higher people, but the people of the civilization are still voting. They also took the idea about the myths of the gods making things happen. For example, the story about how Romulus and Remus were twin brothers that were raised by a she-wolf after being found floating down a river. They each conquered their own land, but Romulus killed Remus and then named the city, Rome, after himself. There is so much more to learn about Rome, which is what I read about tonight!
