daniel arocho on 11 Sep 09WOW! The roman army must of been a very powerful and tacticall group.Also it must of been the most powerful army of its time. Are they a very large army? They must be very strong and smart to expand that so much to be able to dominate italy -
genesis grullon on 11 Sep 09I thinnk that rome saw its terrotory expand during the 450 b.c . Also that i think its is very good that during the first 2 centuries rome expanded to the point of dominating Italy. Also I think that Rome is a very big place and it should have more territorys. I think this because it is a very historical place. -
anthony rodriguez on 14 Sep 09the romain army to me is a very interesting topic because it is amazing how they were able to concer all those countries without the technology that we have today. -
Perla Gonzalez on 19 Oct 09The land known as Italy today has many European cultures and people. Such as the Etruscans and the Romans. Later it was an important part of the Renaissance. And also played a big part in the development of modern science and astronomy. -
Veronica Rodriguez on 11 Nov 09WOW. thats amazing! the roman army must have been very strong to conqure all that land. also very skilled. They were probably best of the land.

Roman Republic was the phase of the ancient Roman civilization characterized by a republican form of government; a period which began with the overthrow of the Roman monarchy, c. 509 BC, and lasted over 450 years until its subversion, through a series of civil wars, into the Principate form of government and the Imperial period.
-
I think that it should have lasted atleast 50 more years. This way it would have been 500 years b.c. . Also I think that the ancient roman civilazation over threw the roman monarchy becuase they were tired of the same thing. I also think that they wanted a change after soo long.

-
Romans once had kings but when they had to overthrown their roman monarchy they thought it would be best to just have the roman senate. Now Romans hate kings. Roman leaders never considered themselves as kings. Did you know here in America everyone says we are a democracy but all our presidents except Abraham Lincoln never considered us a democracy?

I think they did not want anyone having complete power.Becuase they were scared they might do many things wrong.But i would agree with that too becuase i would not want anyone telling me what to do or i would die.

Main articles: Latin literature, Roman art, Roman music, and Roman architecture Roman literature was from its very inception influenced heavily by Greek authors. Some of the earliest works we possess are of historical epics telling the early military history of Rome. As the republic expanded, authors began to produce poetry, comedy, history, and tragedy. Virgil represents the pinnacle of Roman epic poetry. His Aeneid tells the story of flight of Aeneas from Troy and his settlement of the city that would become Rome. Lucretius, in his On the Nature of Things, attempted to explicate science in an epic poem. The genre of satire was common in Rome, and satires were written by, among others, Juvenal[92] and Persius. The rhetorical works of Cicero are considered to be some of the best bodies of correspondence recorded in antiquity. In the 3rd century BC, Greek art taken as booty from wars became popular, and many Roman homes were decorated with landscapes by Greek artists. Portrait sculpture[93] during the period utilized youthful and classical proportions, evolving later into a mixture of realism and idealism. Advancements were also made in relief sculptures, often depicting Roman victories. Detail of a mosaic found in Pompeii. The figure on the left is playing the double aulos, double-reed pipes; the figure in the middle, cymbalum, small, bronze cymbals; and on the right, the tympanum, a tambourine-like drum. Music was a major part of everyday life. The word itself derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses".[94] Many private and public events were accompanied by music, ranging from nightly dining to military parades and maneuvers. In a discussion of any ancient music, however, non-specialists and even many musicians have to be reminded that much of what makes our modern music familiar to us is the result of developments only within the last 1,000 years; thus, our ideas of melody, scales, harmony, and even the instruments we use would not be familiar to Romans who made and listened to music many centuries earlier. Over time, Roman architecture was modified as their urban requirements changed, and the civil engineering and building construction technology became developed and refined. The Roman concrete has remained a riddle, and even after more than 2,000 years some Roman structures still stand magnificently.[95] The architectural

That is really nice how artis decorate Roman homes with landscapes. That will be interesting if artis would decorate our landscapes today. Its differnt how artis dont get to meet us and in rome they get to meet each other. that is wrong that they take Greek art. -
That cool that the greek artists painted their homes with landscapes. Also today noone comes and says"hey you want me to paint ur house." no its not like that today you need to paint your self.That is very nice of those greek artist. -
art at that time was not like art from today. people say something was missing. the part they were missing the pupil. the Romans did not put the pupil in art.

The city of Rome had a place called the Campus Martius ("Field of Mars"), which was a sort of drill ground for Roman soldiers. Later, the Campus became Rome’s track and field playground. In the campus, the youth assembled to play and exercise, which included jumping, wrestling, boxing and racing. Riding, throwing, and swimming were also preferred physical activities. In the countryside, pastime also included fishing and hunting. Board games played in Rome included Dice (Tesserae or Tali), Roman Chess (Latrunculi), Roman Checkers (Calculi), Tic-tac-toe (Terni Lapilli), and Ludus duodecim scriptorum and Tabula, predecessors of backgammon.[96] There were several other activities to keep people engaged like chariot races, musical and theatrical performances,

Roman religious beliefs date back to the founding of Rome, around 800 BC. However, the Roman religion commonly associated with the republic and early empire did not begin until around 500 BC, when Romans came in contact with Greek culture, and adopted many of the Greek’s religious beliefs. Private and personal worship was an important aspect of religious practices. In a sense, each household was a temple to the gods. Each household had an altar (lararium), at which the family members would offer prayers, perform rites, and interact with the household gods. Many of the gods that Romans worshiped came from the Proto-Indo-European pantheon, others were based on Greek gods. The two most famous deities were Jupiter (the king God) and Mars (the god of war). With its cultural influence spreading over most of the Mediterranean, Romans began accepting foreign gods into their own culture, as well as other philosophical traditions such as Cynicism and Stoicism

The games are the same that we have to day. I wonder if they made up the bored games. You would never think that the games back Then would be here to day. They had performances to intertain the people.

During this period, an army formation of around 5,000 men (of both heavy and light infantry) was known as a legion. The manipular army was based upon social class, age and military experience.[104] Maniples were units of 120 men each drawn from a single infantry class. The maniples were typically deployed into three discreet lines based on the three heavy infantry types. Each first line maniple were leather-armoured infantry soldiers who wore a brass breastplate and a brass helmet adorned with 3 feathers approximately 30 cm (12 in) in height and carried an iron-clad wooden shield. They were armed with a sword and two throwing spears. The second

Thats totally different from how our armys are today. Today it really doesnt matter if you are tougher or if you are weaker. Now they just line you up in order from tallest to shorttest. Now in days there are various kinds of armys and they order them in many different ways.

Life in the Roman Republic revolved around the city of Rome, and its famed seven hills. The city also had several theaters.[73] gymnasiums, and many taverns, baths and brothels
-
Why is Rome famouse for its seven hills?Rome sounds like a very big and beuatiful.What are taverns and brothels? What kind of movies did they watch? Rome must be very gud in sports to have gymnasiums.
-
The city had several theaters back in Rome there was no technology. After, Alexander the Great died he was made fun of. He was the laughingstock for the Gordian Knot. Which he untied in half with his sword.

why did the consuls have to get prosecuted if they abuse the power of the office? Isnt there any other punishment for the consuls if they abuse thepower of the office? how were they able to abuse the power of the office? I think they are brutall in ancient rome to be prosecuted

According to the more or less legendary traditional accounts, Rome's republican era began after the overthrow of the last Roman King
-
The Romans disliked Kings. The Romans overthrew the last Roman King. They knew that if they still had a King, the King will get to controlled. Romans formed the 1st Roman Republic, that lasted for 500 years.
-
In 509 BC they had to overthrow their king. Ever since that the romans thought it would be better to live without just one king ruling everything. The problem was that when they had a king they have the power to do something so they could do what ever they want and take advantage of that power. After that Romans hated kings. You know whats cool I recently found out that the word dictator came from the Romans and the Romans only had dictators when it was and emergency. A king only has one year as to America the presidents have 4.

The Romans' Latin language
-
The Latin language is very similiar to spanish. For example, "agua" in Latin it is "aqua." Latinos like some of us have been very infuenced with the Romans. I think their language was not even a language because it was just added syllables to end of the word.
-
Once the romans empire has fallen the latin language soon had began to become a dead language
-
the roman language is more like the languages we talk today for example spanish english portuges italian..but the roman language does no longer excist..that is why we speak latin well a dirrent latin than what they doo...
-
The romans spoke latin but the country that spoke similar to the romans were italians. Yes, Latinos had come from the romans (latin). As it said in the article the Romans' latin languag influenced across Europe and the world. So when you think of languages like italian,portuaguese or even spanish think of the romans.

Aqueducts were built to bring water to urban centers[74] and wine and oil were imported from abroad.
-
Why was wine and oil important for Romans? What were aqueducts? Were aquaducts used for transporting water? how were the water;wine;and oil?
-
wine was very important to the romains because they loved to drink and get drunk.they were what we call today alcoholics. and there main food was breath and fruits.

In times of military emergency, a dictator
-
The dictator term was 1 year for wars. No general was allowed to enter the city of Rome with their army. They knew if they let the army enter they might invade Rome. They had good reasons to do it.
-
Also to pick the dictator they woluld pick the best general. The dictatror would only take charge for one year because some would love the power and try to become king. But the Roman hated kings so if that happened they would be killed. If the dictator dies or gets sick they would be replaced with another dictator, but that dictator would only compelete the time that needed to be filled.
-
In Ancient Rome though they hated kings when it was a military emergency they picked like a military leader to step in. They only had one year as to America we have four if you are president. The reason they had dictators was that if like a country wanted to invade Ancient Rome the king could declare what to do which is pretty good if it's a military leader because they would know exactly what to do. That is also where to word dictator came from.

Home was often the learning center, where children were taught Roman law, customs, and physical training to prepare the boys to grow as Roman citizens and for eventual recruitment into the army.

Home was often the learning center, where children were taught Roman law, customs, and physical training to prepare the boys to grow as Roman citizens and for eventual recruitment into the army. Conforming to discipline was a point of great emphasis. Girls generally received instruction[90] from their mothers in the art of spinning, weaving, and sewing.

-
Why did the kids learn about roman law customs and physical training to prepare the boys to grown men to be in the army. why couldn't they be taught reading writing and math how we do today.Also why did the kids when they were about 13 they had to go to the army. why the girls learn only about art ,spinning,weaving and sewing.
-
Thats different that we go to school to learn and they learn at home. Boys were the only ones that can learn. Girls can't learn they just learn house work. Now girls can learn anything they wont.
-
yeah now in days girls and boys have to go to school to learn..but i think that us girls have the rite to learn what ever they want..not only house work but what ever they would like to be into

The cloth and the dress distinguished one class of people from the other class. The tunic worn by plebeians, or common people, like shepherds and slaves, was made from coarse and dark material, whereas the tunic worn by patricians was of linen or white wool
-
Those clothes ere the only clothes they had back.But i think they should have a person that can sew different kinds of clothes. I think this because I think the plebians or the common people were tired of that . Also I want to know how would they take off that tunic if it was in a knot that looks very hard to take off.
-
why did the romain counsil wear roobs? why did they choose red and white?
-
-
Even footwear indicated a person’s social status. Patricians wore red and orange sandals, senators had brown footwear, consuls had white shoes, and soldiers wore heavy boots.
-
Why do they make colors for different people. The people should pick what ever color they want .like this example,pratricians why do they only need to wear red and orange.Thats not write they should wear what ever they wanted.I dont like how there rules are,there forcing people to wear what they dont want to wear.

Throughout the territory under Rome's control, residential architecture ranged from very modest houses to country villas, and in the capital city of Rome, to the residences on the elegant Palatine Hill, from which the word "palace" is derived.
-
The vast majority of the population lived in the city center, packed into apartment blocks.
-
so that means that the word palace came from the romans. How high class would the people live in the country villas. How much people would live in the apartments.
-
-
Rome also saw its territory expand dramatically during this period, from central Italy to the entire Mediterranean world. During the first two centuries, Rome's influence expanded to cover the whole of Italy. During the next century, Rome's military muscle and developing economy dominated North Africa, Spain, Greece, and what is now southern France. During the last two centuries of the Roman Republic, Rome overcame resistance across the rest of modern France, as well as much of Anatolia and Syria.
-
Wow thats amazing! The Roman army must have been very strong to expand their territory that much. They probably were a very skilled and intellegent army too. They must have been the best army in Rome.

Wow thats amazing! The Roman army must have been very strong to able to expand their territory all the way to central italy.They were also probably very skilled too. They were also probably the best army of the land.

The requirements for becoming a senator included having at least 100,000 denarii worth of land, being born of the patrician (noble aristocrats) class, and having held public office at least once before. The rest of the senatus would vote on your acceptance.
-
It was a lot of work to become a senate. You also had to be VERY rich to be a senate. Because thats a lot of land to own. Probably not that maney people could become senates.
-
If you wanted to be a senate in Rome you would have to rich, and own land. They probably didnt have many senates considering how times were back then. It was truly alot of work to become a senate.

Romans had simple food habits. Staple food was simple, generally consumed at around 11 o’clock, and consisted of bread, salad, cheese, fruits, nuts, and cold meat left over from the dinner the night before.

Wine was considered a staple drink,[86] consumed at all meals and occasions by all classes and was quite cheap.
-
Drinking on an empty stomach was regarded as boorish and a sure sign for alcoholism,

if they drank befor they ate what would happen ? what about if they drank to much and got drunk ? would they get punished? when would the be able to drink after they eat or during the it ? how much time would they be able to pour to drink that much time maybe once or twis

tribes
-
In the year 494 BC, the city was at war with two neighboring tribes
-
THey were in war with both nighborhood because the some soilder refused to march against the enemys
-
-
The centuries and the tribes would each gather into their own assemblies
-
they had there own assembly because they wanted to vote on there own and have time to speak to there villagers
-
-
The most important constitutional change probably concerned the chief executive.
-
The heavy infantry of the maniples were supported by a number of light infantry and cavalry troops, typically 300 horsemen per manipular legion.[106] The cavalry was drawn primarily from the richest class of equestrians.
-
Now in days it doesnt matter whos richer or poor.If you can afford it you can have it. If you cant offord what you want you might as well not buy anything at all. I think that now 300 horse men are too much people to do this kind of a job.

The plebeians called these new officials "plebeian tribunes".

they called them self plebeian tribunes they would have 2 assident after the plebeian tribunes

In 342 BC, two significant laws were passed

they passed 2 laws because they were able two get hold on there both dictatorship

Early in its history, the republic was controlled by an aristocracy of individuals who could trace their ancestry back to the early history of the kingdom. Over time, the laws that allowed these individuals to dominate the government were repealed, and the result was the emergence of a new aristocracy which depended on the structure of society, rather than the law, to maintain its dominance. Thus, only a revolution could overthrow this new aristocracy.
-
It is pretty great that the Roman Republic hat a aristocracy that would share the power. They would also trace their ancient ancestor in there earlier in the history of the kingdom .Mostly what I like about it is that they wear free they would never be hold back for any thing.

Consuls had supreme power in both civil and military matters.
-
Consuls did have surpreme power , but took it for guranted. Sometimes there were consuls that hated each other, and would pass laws just to make the other furious. Some weren't very well leaders or generals , but somtimes the other was. Either way if they hated each other they both knew they had to get along. i think it wasn't nesscary at all to pass laws just to make the other consul mad, but that's how it was in Rome.

In 83 BC, he returned to Rome, overcame all resistance, and recaptured the city. Sulla and his supporters then slaughtered most of Marius' supporters. Sulla, having observed the violent results of radical popular reforms, was naturally conservative. As such, he sought to strengthen the aristocracy, and by extension the senate.[56] Sulla made himself dictator, passed a series of constitutional reforms, resigned the dictatorship, and served one last term as consul. He died in 78 BC.
-
They backstabed Sulla two of his best lieutenants backstabed them.They made an agreement to the popular party to vote them for counsel.They did win and became the first they became the first two counsels in 13 years.Luckily they dismanteled most of Sullas constitution

. Historians have variously proposed the appointment of Julius Caesar as perpetual dictator in 44 BC, the defeat of Mark Antony at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, and the Roman Senate's grant of extraordinary powers to Octavian under the first settlement in 27 BC, as candidates for the defining pivotal event ending the Republic.

The assembly of the tribes, the Comitia Tributa, was presided over by a consul,[12] and was composed of thirty-five tribes. The tribes were not ethnic or kinship groups, but rather geographical subdivisions.[15]

I have a few questions.What did they tribes do in Rome.What does it mean to be an ethnic or kinship groups

The first Roman republican wars were wars of both expansion and defence, aimed at protecting Rome itself from neighbouring cities and nations and establishing its territory in the region.[123] Initially, Rome's immediate neighbours were either Latin towns and villages,[124] or else tribal Sabines from the Apennine hills beyond. One by one Rome defeated both the persistent Sabines and the local cities that were either under Etruscan control or else Latin towns that had cast off their Etruscan rulers.[125] Rome defeated Latin cities in the Battle of Lake Regillus in 496 BC,[124][126] the Battle of Mons Algidus in 458 BC, the Battle of Corbione in 446 BC,[127][128] the Battle of Aricia,[129] and an Etruscan city in the Battle of the Cremera in 477 BC,[130][131]
-
ancient rome was very powerful because they immediate neighbours. Also because they defeated latin cities in the battle of lake regillus. they defeated the persistent Sabines and local citites .
-
-
During a term as praetor in Iberia (modern Spain), Pompey's contemporary Julius Caesar defeated two local tribes in battle.[187]
-
julius caesar was a brave man he had a heart. He defeated to local battles He really loved his wife and that was the only person he trust. also he belived in goddess. He defeated large armies at major battles.he was a great man.
-
-
Pompey's death did not result in an end to the civil war as Caesar's enemies were manifold and continued to fight on. In 46 BC Caesar lost perhaps as much as a third of his army, but ultimately came back to defeat the Pompeian army of Metellus Scipio in the Battle of Thapsus, after which the Pompeians retreated yet again to Iberia. Caesar then defeated the combined Pompeian forces at the Battle of Munda.
-
I did not know that caesar had a army ? but it looks like they were a good army beacuse they came back to defeat the pompeian. cesar was very loayal .
-
-
The Roman military was split into the Roman army and the Roman navy, although these two branches were less distinct than they tend to be in modern defence forces. Within the top-level branches of army and navy, structural changes occurred both as a result of positive military reform and through organic structural evolution.
-
Was the navy like ours in America ? i bet the roman army was more powerful then ours today . how many people where in the army or navy? the roman mitiary was slpit into the army and navy.
-
-
. By the time of Augustus, cultured Greek household slaves taught the Roman young (sometimes even the girls)
-
like today now in days boys and girls learn how to clean at age 6 .not just only girls boys too learn how too cook and clean. i think thats way better then the old days were men work and women cleand and cook.

The native language of the Romans was Latin. Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin , an artificial and highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the actual spoken language was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar, vocabulary, and eventually pronunciation. Rome's expansion spread Latin throughout Europe, and over time Vulgar Latin evolved and dialectized in different locations, gradually shifting into a number of distinct Romance languages.[91] Many of these languages, including French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish, flourished, the differences between them growing greater over time. Although English is Germanic rather than Romanic in origin, English borrows heavily from Latin and Latin-derived words.

It was the People of Rome - and thus the assemblies - who had the final say regarding the election of magistrates,[8] the enactment of new laws,[9] the carrying out of capital punishment, the declaration of war and peace, and the creation (or dissolution) of alliances.[8] There were two types of legislative assemblies. The first was the comitia ("committees"),[10] which were assemblies of all citizens. The second was the concilia ("councils"), which were assemblies of specific groups of citizens.[11]

Praetors would administer civil law[26] and command provincial armies. Every five years, two censors would be elected for an eighteen month term. During their term in office, the two censors would conduct a census. During the census, they could enroll citizens in the senate, or purge them from the senate.[

the romans elected TWO censors so one censor wont get enough power.the censors made laws for the people of rome.the censors made laws that they both had to agree on.when one censor died the romans elected another right away so the other censors would not have all the power.

The assembly of the tribes, the Comitia Tributa, was presided over by a consul,[12] and was composed of thirty-five tribes. The tribes were not ethnic or kinship groups, but rather geographical subdivisions.[15] The order that the thirty-five tribes would vote in was selected randomly by lot.[16] Once a measure received support from a majority of the tribes, the voting would end. While it did not pass many laws, the Comitia Tributa did elect quaestors, curule aediles, and military tribunes.

I don't get it why were there tribes assembly and what it is for.Also why are they using randomto pick there thirty-fyve tribe .If it were me like the person who pick the tribe than I woult pick it by the loyalty,respect,onasty,and trusth than random.All to still I whant to know how this tribes woult work.

The Roman Republic was the phase of the ancient Roman civilization characterized by a republican form of government; a period which began with the overthrow of the Roman monarchy , c. 509 BC, and lasted over 450 years until its subversion , through a series of civil wars , into the Principate form of government and the Imperial period.

In Rome there were losts of rules and regulations.Like there could not have a king.One example is that if the king likes power he take over the whole country.So they were republicans they believed in there own rules,a republican form of government; a period which began with the overthrow of the Roman monarchy.

The precise even t which signaled the end of the Roman Republic and the transition into the Roman Empire is a matter of interpretation. Towards the end of the period a selection of Roman leaders came to so dominate the political arena that they exceeded the limitations of the Republic as a matter of course.

The constitutional history of the Roman Republic can be divided into five phases. The first phase began with the revolution which overthrew the monarchy in 510 BC. The final phase ended with the revolution which overthrew the Roman Republic, and thus created the Roman Empire, in 27 BC. Throughout the history of the republic, the constitutional evolution was driven by the struggle between the aristocracy and the ordinary citizens.

[edit] The Conflict of the Orders (367-287 BC) After the plebeian aedileship had been created, the patricians created the curule aedileship.[35] After the consulship had been opened to the plebeians, the plebeians were able to hold both the dictatorship and the censorship. In 337 BC, the first plebeian praetor was elected.[36] In 342 BC, two significant laws were passed . One of these two laws made it illegal to hold more than one office at any given point in time. The other law required an interval of ten years to pass before any magistrate could seek reelection to any office.[37]

[edit] The legion after the reforms of Gaius Marius (107 BC – 27 BC) In a process known as the Marian reforms, Roman consul Gaius Marius carried out a programme of reform of the Roman military.[112] In 107 BC, all citizens, regardless of their wealth or social class, were made eligible for entry into the Roman army. This move formalised and concluded a gradual process that had been growing for centuries, of removing property requirements for military service.[113] The distinction between the three heavy infantry classes, which had already become blurred, had collapsed into a single class of heavy legionary infantry. The heavy infantry legionaries were drawn from citizen stock, while non-citizens came to dominante the ranks of the light infantry. The army's higher-level officers and commanders were still drawn exclusively from the Roman aristocracy.[114] Unlike earlier in the Republic, legionaries were no longer fighting on a seasonal basis to protect their land.η[›] Instead, they received standard pay, and were employed by the state on a fixed-term basis. As a consequence, military duty began to appeal most to the poorest sections of society, to whom a salaried pay was attractive. A destabilising consequence of this development was that the proletariat "acquired a stronger and more elevated position"[115] within the state.

In times of military emergency, a dictator would be appointed for a term of six months.[29] Constitutional government would dissolve, and the dictator would become the absolute master of the state.[30] When the dictator's term ended, constitutional government would be restored.
-
A dictator is appointed a term for six months and the government cant do nothing about it.If he try to run over the government the government cant do anything cause the assigned him the highs role in power.if the government assigned a dictator to fight a war and the dictator die in action the would assign another one right away.If the government assigned a dictator to fight a war an he came back succesful the governments power would be assigned back to the government and the dictator will be discarged of there duty.

we talked about this in class.. every five years i guess two romes censors would be elected as dictator.they would make law for rome and fight in wars.but the funny thing is one would stay and other one will fight for the city of rome and if he was to die they would elected other censors.i think you had to be rich to have that much power.but most of them did't think how to get enough power to be king of rome.

the people of rome pick two people to run as censors so that not one person would have lots of power but two people would. the censors had the power to make laws. If the censors went to war both of them would have to go not one cause if one dies in war the other one that sdoot back would have all the power of rome. the censors would have to agree on the laws that they liked if one didnt like the other ones law that throw that law out. both of the censors contraled the army.

The consul of the Roman Republic was the highest ranking ordinary magistrate
-
The consul made laws so that no army could come in rome an that the only people able to go in was the leader. There was a law that noarmys can come in the city of rome cause if they did the consul would think that they would take over rome. The leader of the army was named senne and he went in to rome an took it over. senne wanted the consul to make laws that senne liked an only he can pick the ones he wanted.

While in the city of Rome, the consuls were the head of the Roman government.
-
Slavery and slaves were part of the social order; there were slave markets where they could be bought and sold.
-
I think that slavery is unfair. I think that its wrong to just sell people and treat them like a doll. Even though thry might be poor they should be treated like regular people. They should also never be hit or whipped because they didnt do anything they said.
-
I wish they would never made up of slaves. i wish they would let slaves run free. And not make them do things for other people. The people who BUY slaves are mest up.

The romans were very strict of who they wanted in charge of Rome.It was a bad idea i mean what if one died and the other was left in charge.Whenever the romans feel someone is too powerful the prosecute them.Im glad the US isnt like that.

Guys make sure you do not just highlight sections of this article. Whatever you highlight you must comment on! -
i think the roman republic was a fine civilized civilization. They lasted over 450 years and it started in 509 B.C. It was complex but they just like power. I dont think it was that good because i dont like to live in a city with laws all the time and dont trust their ruler. -
Sulla was the first man to betray rome and capture the city.He also murdered many of Marius's surporters.Sulla put up theses long lists of names and everyone was offered what ever the supporters left if they killed or captured them.His rule wasnt very long because he died 5 years later.
