1. The republic is a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and who in modern times is usually a president. Patrician is a member of one of the original citizen families of ancient Rome. Plebeian is a member of the Roman Plebs. Tribune is a Roman official under the monarchy and the republic with the function of protecting the plebeian citizen from arbitrary action by the patrician magistrates. Consul is either of two annually elected chief magistrates of the Roman republic. Senate is the supreme council of the ancient Roman republic and empire. Dictator is a person granted absolute emergency power. Legion is the principal unit of the Roman army comprising 3000 to 6000 foot soldiers with cavalry. Hannibal was a Carthaginian general. 

 3. The Romans could only serve for one year, the same person could not be elected for ten years, and one consul could always overrule the others decision. 

 4. The twelve tables were to ensure that all free citizens had protection under the law, all laws were carved on twelve tablets and hung in a forum. 

 5. Hannibal's attacks as a surprise attack so nobody was expecting it.

so today I got to lead the prayer. 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.
