Eme
in
Rome
“Archaic
Rome”
• This
Eme
period
lasted
for
hundreds
of
years

8. • The
Romans
believed
that
their
history
could
be
dated
back
to
a
Trojan
hero
named
Aeneas
(i-­‐NEE-­‐uhs).
• When
the
Greeks
destroyed
Troy
during
the
Trojan
War,
Aeneas
fled
with
his
followers
to
Italy.
• An
ancient
story
named
the
Aeneid
tells
the
story
of
Aeneas.
• According
to
legend,
Remus
(a
descendent
of
Aeneas)
founded
the
city
of
Rome
in
753
BC.
• The
city
of
of
Rome
was
then
lled
by
kings
for
hundreds
of
years.
• During
this
Eme,
the
Romans
established
the
Roman
alphabet,
a
unique

system,
and
a
sewer

9. Rhea
was
a
princess
and
a
mortal
woman
who
was
married
to
Mars,
the
Roman
god
of
war.
Rhea
and
Mars
had
twin
sons
and
named
them
Romulus
and
Remus.
Some
of
the
other
gods
were
jealous
of
Mars
and
Rhea,
and
ploCed
to
kill
Romulus
and
Remus.
Rhea
heard
about
the
plot.
Since
Mars
was
away
she
needed
to
protect
the
boys.
She
put
them
in
a
basket
and
set
it
floa7ng
down
the
river
hoping
that
they
would
be
found.
They
were
found
by
a
female
wolf
who
decided
to
raise
them
as
her
own
cubs.
ASer
the
boys
had
grown
some
the
wolf
knew
she
couldn't
keep
them
so
she
put
them
where
a
shepherd
would
find
them.
The
shepherd
and
his
wife
con7nued
to
raise
Romulus
and
Remus.
As
the
boys
grew
into
manhood,
they
decided
to
build
a
city
and
rule
it
as
its
king.
They
had
a
contest
to
see
who
would
be
the
top
king.
When
it
appeared
that
Remus
was
going
to
win
the
contest,
Romulus
got
so
angry
that
he
killed
Remus
with
a
rock
and
became
the
first
king
of
Rome.
This
is
an
important
story
for
Romans
since
their
city
was
started
by
the
son
of
a
god
it
had
to
be
more
powerful
than
any
other
city.
Now
look
at
the
names
Romulus
and
Rome.
This
is
supposedly
how
Rome
was
named.

13.
The
ancient
Romans
said
"All
roads
lead
to
Rome."
In
ancient
Rome,
that
was
true.
Rome
was
considered
the
center
of
the
empire
and
every
city
and
province
had
to
be
connected
to
the
center.
There
was
even
a
mile
marker
in
the
center
of
Rome
that
you
were
supposed
to
use
to
measure
distance.
Every
7me
a
new
area
was
conquered
or
a
new
province
was
created,
roads
were
built
to
connect
that
province
to
Rome.
Roads
were
built
in
as
straight
a
line
as
possible
with
stone
bridges
and
tunnels
if
necessary.
Along
the
side
of
road,
the
Romans
placed
signs
called
milestones.
Milestones
told
how
far
it
was
back
to
Rome,
and
some7mes
how
far
to
the
nearest
town
and
even
who
was
emperor
when
the
road
was
built.
The
Romans
built
thousands
of
miles
of
roads
and
yes,
all
roads
did
eventually
lead
to
Rome.
