     Today Mr. Schick wasn't here.  We were told by the sub to check his blog.  Sure enough were suppose to continue our Power Point project on Rome.  Vinny was sick today.  Brad was sick yesterday.  Brad joined our group.  He got pictures while I worked on putting information in...

The Etruscans and the Greeks were very important in Roman history.

The Etruscans had a written language which the Romans took most of their writing technique from.

The Greek gods and goddesses were used by the Romans.  The Greek culture had a huge influence on the
Romans.

The Latins were the first ones to live in the area.

Many of the words that the Romans had came from Latin.

Many modern words and languages are based on Latin.

The Latins had a huge influence on the world. 
The Tiber River is where the Latins lived.
The Latins were the dominant and civilized people on this area of the river.
The Romans soon became in this region and the Latins became part of it.
They soon had a king called Tarquin.
He later earned the name Tarquin the proud when he became a control freak and peole didn’t like him.
The people got angry and later drove him out of Rome.
Because of this the people learned how bad a king could be.
They never had another dictator again.
They then came up with their republican government.
