I had to do it twice, because people were in the bathroom and I had to say it again. we got a blizzard in school but mr. schick would not open the window till the end of class. we continued watching the guns, germs, and steel video. they traveled in the same latitude so they would get the same weather and vegetation. Americans consume up to 20 million tons of wheat a year. they are over 100 million cows in USA. jared diamond thinks all races are fundamentally similar.

The Etruscans settled Rome. The Greeks also settled Rome. The Greeks had many colonies around the Mediterranean Sea. The Latins originally settled in Rome first. Many of the streams flooded in the Tiber. The Punic war was fought between 264-146 BCE. There were three different ones fought. The farmers couldn't do anything so they moved to Rome. Julius Caesar lived Fromm 100-44 BCE and conquered the huge territory of Qual. Julius Caesar starts to rise in 60 B.C. Octavian forces the weak Lepidus to retire. After Octavian death, power was passed down to emperors. Caesar started a number of reforms. He only served one year as consul. He then appointed himself as governor of Qual. There was additional food and luxury items left for the wealthy. Rome was now going to be inheriting all of the grain, olive oil, metals, textiles, slaves, wine, and wild animals.
