roman stuff
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What the romans borrowed from the Etruscans | The romans borrowed the structures called arches and cuniculuses. Romans adopted both structures and used them to make aqueducts, which combined both styles. They also enjoyed slave fighting and chariot races, as Rome would later too. |
| How the romans changed the Etruscans ideas | The romans way of bringing water to the city was with aqueducts. Romans, instead of making cuniculuses underground, would have them go mostly above ground, except when they had to go through mountains. Aqueducts would go from the spring straight to Rome. |
| Greek Ideas that changed Rome | Greeks had marble temples, columns, all capital letters, and detailed pottery. Romans would later adopt all of these styles. |
| How the romans changed greek ideas | Romans would, instead of exaggerating the target (on pottery) like the greeks did, instead made the depiction identical to the original person. Romans would also use the columns and marble on public buildings such as the Colosseum. |
| First event of the birth of the republic | Etruscan Kings would rule over all the roman people. Patricians still held more power over the plebeians, but the kings would have the most power. Pats resented this. |
| 2nd event of the birth of the republic | The Republic is formed. Lucius Tarquinius Brutus overthrows the last etruscan king, and rome vows that they would never be under the rule of a tyrant again. Pats have unfair rule over plebeians, now. |
| 3rd event of the birth of the republic | Plebeians rebel and gain some rights. Plebeian soldiers go on strike and sit on a hill, and pats give them "compromises". Plebeians are happier, but still know they are being taken advantage of. |
