                                                           West Civ

     Today in West Civ we took notes on Rome Below I have listed notes from today. Furthermore, we also talked about this really twisted story.

• Etruscan's
• they came from the north central part of the peninsula
• they were mostly metal workers, artists, and architects
• there were two main myths- Virgil's and Aenes 
• and the story of Romulus and Remulus 
• Greeks 
• The Greeks had a lot of colonies around the Mediterranean sea
• Roman's borrowed ideas from them such as;
• religion beliefs
• alphabet
• much of their art
• military techniques and weapons 
• The Latins
• they were the first people out of the three
• descendants of the indo-Europeans
• settled on the banks of the Tiber
• they were situated so trading ships-but no war fleets could navigate as far as Rome, but no further
• built on 7 hills 
• many streams flowed in the Tiber 
• there was a marshy area, called the forum, between Palestine and Capitoline hills
