In the Beginning… Ancient Rome begin as a group of villages along the Tiber River in what is now Italy. Around 750 B.C. these villages united to form the city of Rome.

Formation of Roman Republic For more than 200 years, kings ruled Rome. In 509 B.C. Rome became a republic. The Roman Senate was an assembly of elected representatives. It was the single most powerful ruling body of the Roman Republic.

Patricians & Plebeians In the beginning most of the people elected to the Senate were patricians. Patricians controlled the law since they were the only citizens allowed to be judges. Plebeians had the right to vote, but could not hold public office until 287 B.C, when they gained equality with patricians.

Roman Expansion Under the leadership of ambitious generals, Rome’s highly trained soldiers took over most of the land surrounding the Mediterranean. The ancient Romans called the Mediterranean mare nostrum, meaning “our sea”.

Rome 117 A.D.

The End of the Roman Republic A successful Roman general and famous speaker, Julius Caesar, was a governor of the territory of Gaul and managed to take control of many nearby territories. Fearing him the Roman Senate ordered him to resign…but he had other ideas. Caesar fought for control and won, becoming the dictator of the Roman world, ending the Roman Republic.

The Roman Empire Less than a year after gaining power a group of angered Senators stabbed Caesar to death on the floor of the Roman Senate. (March 15, 44 B.C.) This caused a civil war that lasted several years. In 27 B.C., Caesar’s adopted son, Octavian was named the first emperor of Rome.

The Roman Empire An empire is a nation or group of territories ruled by a single powerful leader, or emperor. As emperor Octavian took the name Augustus. Augustus ruled the Roman Empire for more than 40 years, known as the Augustan Age.
