The Romans conquer Greece. This is the official end of the Greeks, now they became Romans.

Kingdom

Rome was founded as city-state with a monarchy as form of government. They had a king.

They deposed the last king in 509 BC. Sadly, we know less about this period of the Roman empire.

Republic

They no longer wanted the power to lie with one person -> republic. Controlling themselves. The power is devided into multiple positions.

Empire

They had a emperor as their leader. 

The first emperor was Octavian -> emperor Augustus.

The Roman empire

The Roman kingdom

• Romulus became the first king (out of 7).
  
• Rome: built on 7 hills, Tiber River nearby. City-state.
• Easy to defend + the river made it easy to trade.
• The last king (Etruscan) was Tarquin Superbus (Tarquin the Proud).
• Was a tyrant > in 509 BC Brutus led a revolt against him.
• They never wanted a king to rule again.

Roman                                   people

• Patricians = Nobles, rich families, powerful.
• Could be part of the Senate.
• Plebeians = the 'others' (except slaves), not so powerful. Wanted to make sure their needs were met.
• Plebeian assembly > chose the people's tribune.
• They protected the plebeians + could veto a law.

Veto

Latin for: I forbid it.

Even if the whole room wanted to accept a certain law, if the people's tribune didn't agree, the law wouldn't go through.

They could make sure that no laws that would be bad for the plebeians came through.
