Name Date CHAPTER 13, LESSON 2 Summary: Ancient Rome The Growth of Rome Rome began as a group of villages near Italy’s center. The first Romans were shepherds and farmers. They settled there because of the good climate and soil. Around 600 B.C.E., Etruscans conquered Rome. They built roads, a sewage system, and public buildings. They taught the Romans Greek ideas, such as how to use an alphabet. Rome grew large and wealthy. Roman Government Under the Etruscans, a king ruled Rome. His advisers were called the Senate. In 509 B.C.E. the Romans took over and formed a republic. In a republic, citizens vote for leaders to represent them. Only male citizens could vote. Citizens met in groups called assemblies. The Senate held a great deal of power. Women and slaves had no say in the government. The republic lasted for about 500 years. In 27 B.C.E., the republic became an empire ruled by an emperor. By C.E. 106, Rome controlled half of Europe, much of the Middle East, and the north coast of Africa. Emperors collected taxes to pay for the huge army. Roman Achievements Ancient Romans had many ideas about government, literature, law, and art. Builders still use ideas from Roman architecture. Romans developed concrete. They built aqueducts to bring clean water to Rome. Roman soldiers built many miles of roads. The roads made it easy to control the empire and to spread ideas, beliefs, and skills.
