Review

Romans loved the way Greeks did things.  Warfare and government is what they improved upon.  Italy was basically exactly like Greek but could have more people and raise more food because they didn't have as many mountains.  Latins were the first to show up in Italy.  Major groups: Latins, Etruscans and Greeks.  Romans got their gods and alphabet from the Greeks.  Tarquin the proud was a monarch, he was the last king of Rome.  He ruled liked a tyrant; harsh, threw favors to his family, etc.  Peoples business is what they referred their government to.  Res publica-republic. 530-509 was Tarquin's rule.
