Rise of Rome

Rise of Rome

1. The Founding of Rome (753 BCE)
According to legend, Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus, twin brothers raised by a she-wolf. Romulus killed Remus and became the first king of Rome. Historically, Rome likely began as a small settlement on the Palatine Hill, situated near the Tiber River in central Italy.

2. The Roman Kingdom (753–509 BCE)
Government: Rome was initially a monarchy ruled by kings.
Development: This period saw the establishment of early political, religious, and social structures.
End of Monarchy: The last king, Tarquin the Proud, was overthrown in 509 BCE due to his tyranny, leading to the creation of the Roman Republic.
3. The Roman Republic (509–27 BCE)
Government: Power was held by elected officials, such as consuls and the Senate, and a complex system of checks and balances.
Expansion: Rome expanded through wars and alliances, eventually dominating the Italian Peninsula and the Mediterranean.
Key Events:
The Punic Wars (264–146 BCE) against Carthage, leading to Rome's dominance in the western Mediterranean.
The Social War and other internal conflicts, including power struggles between patricians (aristocrats) and plebeians (commoners).
The rise of influential generals like Julius Caesar, who crossed the Rubicon in 49 BCE, signaling the end of the Republic.
