Tuesday

Today we went over the song and reviewed it. We talked about how the Etruscans were really good at the grid system, they introduced the gladiator to the romans. They also had people fight to the death in the coliseum to entertain people. The plebeians were the low class, and the Patricians has much money, land, power, leaders listened to. The counsels were 2 guys that each person kept an eye on each other. The second counsel could veto another's laws. The assembly was like the senate but for the plebeians.  If you were elected to the house that represented the middle class it was called a tribune. The early government of the romans they built in to the constitution if things got really bad/ some kind of crisis they would give one person all the power, and call them the dictator. The dictator was only the dictator for 6 months and then went back into the senate. This was only to guide people in the right direction not to harm anyone or control everyone. Counsels were only elected for 1 year. There was also 3 punic wars, and the romans won all of them
