REVIEW

Latins- Tiber river and Palatine
Etruscans and Greeks- they had many colonies and ideas used by Rome
Tarquin the Proud seventh and final king of Rome
Tarquins son Sextus tried to rape Lucretia (older gentle woman; matron)
Sextus was going to kill her and spread rumors about her and a slave if she doesn't let him rape her
Ends up comitting suicide because of the rumors

new government
democracy
aristocracy(the senate-300 people)
monarch (the consuls)
res publica- the peoples affairs

triumvirate

Final emperor slides
1. Tiberius- Didn't wanna be emperor, left Rome after death of Son
2. Caligula- Pervert, 4 years, Tyrant, assasinated by praetorian guards, senators, imperial court. Tried to bring back Republic
3. Claudius- GREAT ruler, cerebral palsy, may have been looked down upon; killed by poisoning by wife
4. Nero- huge fire in 64, built it more magestic, hugely overspent, raided temples for money; historians did not like him
