Name: _____________________ Rome Vocabulary Define and explain each term by finding it in your text. NO INTERNET – write the number of the page it’s found on. Page Number: Term: 1. _______ Etruscans A cultural group of people who had settled most of Italy before Latin (Roman) society fully developed. The Etruscans ruled Latium (the larger region in which Rome was located) with a Monarchy until Roman patricians rebelled and set up the early Republic. 2. _______ Patrician People descended from the “founding fathers” of the Roman Republic. They were generally rich, aristocratic landowners and made up only about 5% of the free (non-slave) population. Initially, only the patricians were allowed to attain positions as government officials. 3. _______ Plebeian The “common people” of Rome – not descended from the Patricians. Plebs did regular jobs – farmer, artisan, shopkeeper, business-person, etc. Initially, they were not allowed to hold positions in the early Roman Republic. This, however, changed over several hundred years as the Plebs rebelled and gained more rights. 4. _______ Council of Plebs A subdivision of the citizens’ Assembly that was made up only of Plebs. The Council of Plebs, also called “Plebeian Council”, could initially only make laws for Plebs but eventually was allowed to pass laws for all Romans including Patricians. 5. _______ Tribune Plebeian government officials elected by the Council of Plebs. The tribunes would explain Pleb concerns to the Senate and Consuls so that Plebs’ voices were heard in some capacity. 6. _______ 12 Tables Rome’s first code of laws – written down for the first time. Before 451 BCE, laws were not written down so that Patricians could “bend” them in their own favor against the Plebs. 7. _______ Republic A form of government in which citizens elect government officials called “representatives” to make laws and decisions for them. This is different from a democracy, in which citizens directly make decisions and laws themselves. 8. _______ Consul One of the two top officials in Rome’s Republic. They were chosen each year by the Assembly and could appoint Senators. Generally, one ran the army while the other ran the operations of the government. 9. _______ Senate the 300 members of the legislative branch of Rome’s republic. They could make laws, advise the consuls, approve building programs, and handle Rome’s finances (money). 10. _______ Dictator A single person chosen by the Senate in times of need – when decisions needed to be made quickly and could not wait for the debates that would normally happen when making decisions. The dictator acted like a king during the time of crisis, but would step down as soon as the crisis passed. The dictator could be one of the consuls, but it did not have to be.
