Rome - the Early Years



Ancient legend has it that Rome was founded by... well... two feral children. Twins, to be exact, named Romulus and Remus (pictured here). Here is their story.

Isn't this a great way to begin our studies of Rome?


Here are the terms and concepts we discussed in class today (wouldn't these make great digital flashcards?):

Romulus
Remus
Etruscans
Tiber River
Tarquin the Proud
tyrant (original meaning)/tyranny
patrician
plebeian
consul
republic
