The history and romance of the Italian culture began in Rome, where the people would "vive una vita ricca e variopinta" (live a rich and colorful life). The Romans brought us the Colosseum, Italian food, architecture that is still replicated today, art, culture, and a powerful empire. It rose. It fell. And it remains one of the most significant and memorable cultures today. Come with us to Rome!
The geographic, political, economic, religious, and social structures of "Ancient Rome" are depicted in this ToolBook:
THE REPUBLIC Rise of the Roman Republic. Representative government, written constitution, tripartite government, checks and balances, civic duty, Roman law. Aeneas, Romulus and Remus, Cincinnatus, Julius Caesar, and Cicero.
THE EMPIRE Reasons for expansion: Control of the Mediterranean Sea, expansion of the empire, trade. Mare Nostrum. End of the Republic: Julius Caesar and Augustus. Life for Jews in the Roman Empire. Life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. St. Paul the Apostle spreads Christianity through the Roman empire.
