Today in West Civ we continued to go over the Rome power point. I learned that the Latin's first came to the shores of the Tiber River, they drained a swamp. The tyrant named Tarquin Proud was like a kind, he pushed all of his people around. He told everyone what to do and exactly how to do it. They combined a democracy, aristocracy, and Monarchy. Roman legion, improved pllalapx, century 80 men. Punic wars, conflict of passage and trade, three different series of battles. Rome won the first battle against cartage. Got 100's of elephants and found men along the way to attack Italy.
