Timeline
Directions: Read the following instructions carefully.
a) Create an ancient Rome timeline using events form the following passage.
b) Your timeline will start with the year 700 B.C.E. and end with the year 300 C.E. moving
from left to right. You must decide what increments to use for your timeline. Remember the
number of years and the distance on the paper between each increment must be equal (as
done in class).
c) Use a dot placed on the line to show events that took place within in one year (one year or
less as listed below). Use a bar line placed parallel below the timeline to indicate events that
took place over more then one year (more than one year as listed in the passage).
d) Label each dot or bar line on your timeline.
Rome was ruled by Etruscan kings from northern Italy from 616 B.C.E. to 509 B.C.E.
However, a group of patricians led by Lucius Junius Brutus carried out a revolt that drove the
Etruscan kings out of Rome in 509 B.C.E. The patricians formed a government that did not
include the plebeians. Angered by their exclusion to government affairs in Rome, plebeians
protest against the patricians by leaving Rome in 494 B.C.E. Patricians negotiate with plebeians
and allow plebeians to elect tribunes. In 451 B.C.E., patricians agree to write down laws called
the Twelve Tables. A new law is passed in 367 B.C.E., which allows plebeians to become one of
the two consuls of Rome. Plebeians become equal to patricians by gaining the right to pass laws
for all Roman citizens in 287 B.C.E.
At this point Rome goes through a series of expansions. The First Period of Expansion is
from 509-264 B.C.E. The Second Period of Expansion is from 264-146 B.C.E. The Third Period
of Expansion is from 145-44 B.C.E. and the Fourth and final Period of Expansion is from 43
B.C.E. – 117 C.E. At its height, around 117 CE, the Roman Empire spanned the entire
Mediterranean world.
However, the empire did not last. Power struggles, border threats, and economic and
social problems led to its fall. In 330 CE, the emperor Constantine moved his capital east to
Byzantium. After that, power was divided between two emperors, one in Rome and the other in
Byzantium. A Germanic tribe invaded Rome in 410 CE and looted the city. In 476 CE, the last
emperor in Rome was driven from his throne.
Step 1) Write down 5 events that took place within one year:

Reading and Questions
“All roads lead to Rome,” boasted the Romans. For thousands of miles, road markers
showed the distance to Rome. But more than roads connected the empire’s 50 million people.
They were also connected by Roman law, Roman customs, and Roman military might.
If Rome was the center of the empire, the forum was the center of Rome. The word forum
means “gathering place.” The original forum in Rome was an open area used for merchants’
stalls, races, games, and plays. In time, the Forum became a sprawling complex of government
buildings, theaters, meeting halls, temples, and monuments. This collection of buildings and
plazas was the heart of Rome’s religious, business, and government life. If you wanted to find
out what life was like for people living in the Roman Empire, the forum would be a good place
to start.
