★The real Rome

I read chapter 2 of "THE STORY OF ROME". It was "The real Rome".

This is a historical story. It said how to be built the Republic of Rome, so I could learn origin of Rome.

According to the story, shepherds and farmers lived the seven hills where Rome now stands over 3000 years ago. They grew all food that they need and they also made all clothes and tools.
They had a marketplace, sewers, and a temple dedicated to Jupiter.
There are an army, priests and fortune-tellers.

The city was ruled by a king and the senators who are wealthy noblemen. They decided what the law should be, what buildings to put up and when to go to war. However, King Tarquin and his son, Sextus were too bad. The King ignored the senators and bullied the people. His son attacked a senator's wife. It was the last straw, so the senators banished Tarquin and Sextus and then they began to run Rome themselves.

I think that cooperation is important to live a life of peace!

See you again;)
