Monday 29
today in class we watched the bbc movie on youtube. we learned how tiberius really tired to stand up for the people while people like octavius and the senate was really self absorbed. i love watching bbc movies/shows cause they are just always so great. it was really interesting to learn what the roman's thought on humiliation was.

Etruscans - non-indo-european immagrants who arived in italy from the east in about the 9th century BC
gained control of territory to the north of the latins - etruria
city states under kings
lots of greek and eastern influence.
some etruscan kings ruled rome for a time
rome adopted gridiron plan for cities gladiatorial combat and the masonry arch from etruscans.
adopted the alphabet from greece
farming in italy had same farming reasources as greece
not as mountains
more population
thought rome was placed there by gods - meant to rule everything

successor to the king was chosen by the senate
500BC rome overthrew etruscan rulers
