Essential Questions for Chapter 10?
1. What are the landforms and geographic features of Ancient Rome, and what is
their impact on ancient Rome?
2. What is the historical significance of early Roman legends?
3. How was Ancient Roman society split into social classes? (Patricians vs.
Plebeians.)
4. What effects does the early Roman Republic have on our modern government?
5. How are the 3 major branches of the government of the Roman Republic like
the 3 branches of the US government?
1. The Alps create a natural boundary to the North of Italy. How might this have helped the
ancient Romans?
2. The Apennines Mountains run through Italy, North to South (like a “zipper” on the boot.) Make a
prediction about how this affected the people of ancient Rome.
3. Not much of Italy is flat. Most of the land that isn’t mountainous is covered with hills. Make an
inference about how people of ancient Rome adapted to this landscape.
Note – you can also refer to the map on page 295 of your textbook.
