Government of the ®epublic

Monarchy to Republic.

What is a republic, and when, how, and why did Rome turn into one?

A republic, a “Public thing” is where problems are a discussed by the public and not just by the rulers.  In a republic officials openly elected in to office and often had a written and published law. Rome became a republic in 509bc. This happened Sextus, Superbus’s son, raped Lucretia. Lucretia was so ashamed that she committed suicide shorty after he raped  her. Lucretias friends and family got an army together to get Superbus and Sextus out of Rome.  Superbus fled Rome and survived, but Sextus was killed on his way to another city. Brutus and Collatinus were elected as the first two consuls of Rome 

in the beginning

When, where, and how was Rome founded?

Rome was founded by the Trojans settlers and aneas in one myth. Romulus actually founded Rome in 753bc. On the seven hills by  the Tiber river. King Numitors daughter Rhea Silvia had twins Romulus and Remus, she claimed that they where mars, the god of war, sons. The current king of the kingdom of alba longa had Romulus and Remus killed by being thrown in the the river. The she wolf saved the boys and let them drink from her teats.

•  What problems did the early Romans face, and how did they deal with them?

What do you think about Romulus? What do you think about the first Romans?

Geography of rome

the geography of Rome would be good place to found a city because of the Tiber river flowing right though the middle of it, also the Alps and Apennines protect it from enemies.
The Italian Empire would be a great place to start a empire because you are isolated at first then you could work you way out of the peninsula.

Ancient Greece vs. Today

Ancient Greece and today have many similarities and differences but two big ones I found was the Olympics and type a government used to control. During ancient Greece they had a Olympic Games just like today. There are many, many differences about the Olympics now and then. One is the severely of winning and losing, if you were to lose back then in ancient Greece were consider as a failure to many, where now just making it to the Olympics  a thing to celebrate. If you would have won in ancient Greece you were somewhat of hero, and you were showered with gifts and love, some cities even gave the winner a life time supply of food. Losing and winning were such a big deal because the games were put on for the god Zeus and he was worshiped throughout the whole duration of the games, there were even animal sacrifices for him during the games. The Olympics were held every four years in ancient Greece just like they are today. The type of government used to control the Greeks was a democracy, a way of controlling that let the people vote for what they wanted instead of just doing what the king/ruler wanted. We use this same kind of system in today; we use it to vote for government leaders and laws. In ancient Greece they used it for the same things as we do. One of the main differences is who could vote, today any one over the age of 18 could vote in an election but in ancient Greece only middle and upper class land owning males could participate in voting.

 

primary source analysis. thucydides

Author-"the history of the pelopennesian war" was written by Thucydides, a wealthy athenian general

Place & time- he wrote this book in athens during the war, around 431-404bc. 

Prior knowledge- all my prior knowledge came from the pelponnisian war video.i know that this happened because athens put up a wall and trap every one inside to protect them from the spartas.

Audience- thucydides possibly wrote this for people out side on the pelponnesian war who did not know that this was going on. 

Reason- one reason thucydides could have written this book was for younger generations to come.

The main idea- the main idea of this passage was the athenian plague.

Significants- this is important because it is a unbiased and very descriptive documentation on the plague of athens. 

quote- Now let every man, physician or other, concerning the ground of this sickness, whence it sprung, and what causes he thinks able to produce so great an alteration, speak according to his own knowledge- thucydides 

greco-persian wars.

The Persian war changed the the look on war and warfare. the the start of this long war involved the Persian Emipire and Ionia. The Ionians revolted against the king Darius in 499bc and lost to the Persians. First the Greeks defeated the Persians in the battle and Marathon. the perians were lead by Darius son Xerxes. the the Greeks, that were lead by Sparta.  The city state of Thermopylae was defended but in the end lost this battle. Next the Persians sacked and burned Athens, the Athenian army had a fake trader that tricked the Persians in the the strait of Salamis. The Greeks killed the Persian with ease after they were in the narrow bay. Finally the Greeks defeated the Persians in the battle on Plataea.
