Rome was founded in 753 BC by Romulus and Remus on the banks of the Tiber River. According to legend, the twins were abandoned and raised by a she-wolf. Romulus later killed Remus and became Rome's first king. Rome transitioned from a monarchy to a republic with elected magistrates and grew powerful through military conquests. It eventually became an empire under Augustus in 27 BC, spanning the Mediterranean world. The Roman Empire fell in 476 AD as the western half declined due to military and economic issues while the eastern half continued as the Byzantine Empire.
The Roman civilization originated in Italy from the city of Rome between 800 BC to 500 AD. At its height, the Roman Empire stretched from Britain to Egypt and as far east as Mesopotamia. Roman culture was heavily influenced by Greek culture and adopted Greek ideas of government, law, architecture, art and literature. The Roman Republic established around 500 BC was later transformed into a monarchy and then an Empire under Augustus Caesar. The Pax Romana period from 27 BC to 180 AD saw the expansion and consolidation of Roman power. Key innovations included advancements in engineering, architecture, sanitation and the development of Latin as the lingua franca of Western Europe.
The document summarizes the architecture and archaeological findings of the Indus Valley Civilization as discovered through excavations at sites like Mohan-jodaro and Harappa. Some of the key features discussed include the grid-like street layouts, advanced drainage systems, public baths, and evidence of trade networks through seals depicting gods and animals. The civilization developed sophisticated urban planning techniques and construction methods using burnt bricks.
Mesopotamian civilization developed between 3500 BC and 539 BC in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers known as Mesopotamia. The Sumerians established the first cities in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC and developed a system of writing known as cuneiform. Power was held by independent city-states that were often in conflict over resources. Society was stratified with nobles, commoners, and slaves. Religion was polytheistic and centered around temples called ziggurats. The Mesopotamians made advances in areas like mathematics, astronomy, metalworking, and law with the Code of Hammurabi establishing strict legal principles.
Mesopotamian civilization began between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in modern-day Iraq. The first civilizations arose in river valleys because the reliable water sources supported agriculture. In ancient Sumer around 3000 BCE, independent city-states emerged that each had their own government and battled each other for territory. Farming was done through irrigation since flooding was common, and farmers had to adapt to the environment. The Sumerians practiced polytheism and believed the gods owned their cities, building grand ziggurat temples in each city dedicated to the most important deity.

Cuneiform was the first writing system developed in Mesopotamia. It used wedge-shaped symbols pressed into clay tablets that provided information about Sumerian culture, religion, history, and leadership. Sumerian society had distinct social classes that were fixed by law, including women who could own property. The Akkadian Empire established the first empire in Mesopotamia under Sargon, though maintaining control required constant military campaigns. Hammurabi later united Mesopotamia under the Babylonian Empire and is best known for his legal code containing strict laws and punishments.

Barriers like oceans, mountains, and deserts isolated early China, but two major river systems, the Huang He and Yangtze, supported agriculture. The Huang He's floods could devastate villages but also left fertile silt. China's heartland in the North China Plain between the rivers became the center of civilization. The first dynasties like the Xia and Shang emerged around 2000 BCE, with the Shang establishing cities, writing, and social hierarchy. Under the Zhou dynasty starting in 1027 BCE, a system of feudalism developed where kings granted land to nobles in exchange for loyalty and service, though this contributed to instability and warfare between states over time.

However, by the 3rd century AD, the empire began suffering economic and military crises that ultimately led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.
The Romans created the largest empire in antiquity, starting with the founding of Rome in 753 BC and ending with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. Over this 1200 year period, Rome transitioned from a monarchy to a republic and then an empire that dominated territories across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Key events included the establishment of the Roman Republic in 509 BC, the Punic Wars with Carthage, the expansion across the Mediterranean under the empire, and the division of the empire into Western and Eastern halves in 395 AD prior to the fall of the Western Empire.
The document provides an overview of Roman civilization, including its economy, society, culture, architecture, and art. The Roman economy centered around agriculture, livestock, crafts, and trade within the large empire and abroad. Society was stratified but included citizens, freemen, slaves, and women. Roman culture had a significant impact through its Latin-based languages, legal system, and the adoption of Christianity. Famous Roman architectural achievements included aqueducts, temples, amphitheaters, and infrastructure to support cities laid out in a grid pattern. Roman art incorporated sculpture, painting, and mosaic techniques.
The document provides an overview of the history and government of ancient Rome from its origins to the establishment of the Roman Republic. It describes how the Italian peninsula was inhabited in early times by farmers, herdsmen, and various ethnic groups including the Etruscans. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus around 750 BCE and grew to become a city that drew strongly from Etruscan culture. Early Rome was ruled by kings who had absolute power over the government and family structures. Over time, the monarchy transitioned to a republican form of government with consuls, senators, and citizen assemblies. Social classes of patricians and plebians emerged, causing conflicts that led to legal reforms establishing rights

El documento resume la era Paleolítica, que abarcó desde hace 2.5 millones de años hasta hace 10,000 años. Durante este período, los humanos vivían una vida nómada de caza y recolección, usando principalmente herramientas de piedra. Hace unos 100,000 años, comenzaron a producir las primeras manifestaciones artísticas como pinturas rupestres en cuevas. La sociedad paleolítica estaba formada por grupos pequeños unidos por lazos familiares.
La Prehistoria es el período desde la aparición de los primeros humanos hace 2.5 millones de años hasta la aparición de la escritura hace unos 5,500 años. Durante este tiempo, los homínidos evolucionaron desde seres similares a los simios con cerebros pequeños como los Australopithecus hasta convertirse en Homo sapiens a través de un proceso llamado hominización que incluyó caminar erguidos, manos con pulgares separados y aumento del tamaño cerebral. La arqueología estudia los restos materiales dejados

The document summarizes the major river systems of Europe. It divides the rivers into four watersheds: 1) Arctic Ocean, which includes the Pechora and Northern Dvina rivers; 2) Atlantic Ocean, such as the Elbe, Rhine, and Seine rivers; 3) Mediterranean, including the short and irregular Rhône and Po rivers; 4) Black Sea and Caspian Sea, home to Europe's longest rivers like the Volga, Ural, Danube, Dniester, Dnieper, and Don rivers that run through Central Europe's plains.
The document summarizes the major rivers in Spain. It divides the rivers into three watersheds: the Cantabrian watershed in the north which consists of short rivers with large flows that empty into the Cantabrian Ocean, the Atlantic watershed along the western coast whose rivers mostly empty into the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean watershed in the east whose rivers are also short except the Ebro and empty into the Mediterranean Sea. It also lists some of the major rivers within each watershed and provides some additional details on notable lakes within Spain.
The document summarizes the hydrosphere, or Earth's water system. It describes the three states water can be in - solid, liquid, and gas. Most water is found as liquid in oceans and seas, which covers about three quarters of the planet's surface. Water also exists as solid ice in glaciers and polar ice caps, and as a gas in the form of water vapor in the atmosphere. The water cycle describes how water is continuously circulated and recycled between these states through evaporation, transportation by wind and air currents, precipitation, and collection in rivers, lakes, oceans, and underground. Fresh water makes up a small percentage and is found in rivers, lakes, wetlands, and underground aquifers and glac

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

2. THE ORIGINS OF ROME
The origin of Roman civilisation is in the city of Rome.
It was founded in the eighth century BC on the banks of
the River Tiber, in the Italian Peninsula, in an area of easy
protection, as it was surrounded by seven hills.
3. The territory in which it settled was
called Latium, which was inhabited
by the Latins.
Before its foundation, the Italian
Peninsula was populated by Latins
(in the centre), the Greeks (in the
south) and the Etruscans (in the
north).
The Etruscans, in the 6th century BC,
conquered and gained control of
Latium.
THE ORIGINS OF ROME
4. THE LEGEND OF ROMULUS AND REMUS
According to legend, Rome was founded in
Palatine Hill by Romulus in 753 BC.
The twins Romulus and Remus were put in a basket in the
River Tiber. A she-wolf found the babies and fed them her
milk. Later a shepherd adopted the boys.
When the boys grew up, they decided to build a city by the
River Tiber. One day, they argued and Romulus killed
Remus.
Romulus became the first King!

6. THE MONARCHY (753 - 509 BC)
Rome was ruled by a king.
Romulus was de first King of Rome. Later, the city was
occupied by the Etruscans.
From its foundation until the year 509 BC, Rome was
ruled by seven Kings. The first four were Latins (Rómulo,
Numa Pompilio, Tulio Hostilio, Anco Marcio) and the final three
were Etruscans (Tarquinio Prisco, Servio Tulio, Tarquinio El
Soberbio).
The last Etruscan king, Tarquin the Proud, was
deposed because he was a tyrant.
The King ruled with the help of the Senate (made up of
patricians), an advisory assembly with no decision-
making powers. Therefore, the king had all the power
to make any decision.
7. The citizens elected the government (a kind of democracy).
Power was shared between Comitias, Magistrates and the
Senate.
THE SENATE
The Senate was a
council of citizens from
the most important
families: PATRICIANS
It was responsible for
deciding foreing
policy and upholding
decisions made by the
Comitians
COMITIAS
These were
assemblies, formed
by citizens , in wich
magistrates were
chosen, laws were
passed and decisions
about going to war
were taken
MAGISTRATES
These were annually
elected by the
Comitias.
The most important
magistrates were: the
two Consuls, Tribunes
of the plebeians and
dictator.
THE ROMAN REPUBLIC (509 – 27 BC)
8. In The Republic…
Confrontation between patricians and plebeians
Initially, the patricians still held all the power. Only they could be
part of the Senate and only they could hold public office. The
patricians in the Senate made laws, patricians and consuls executing
them, and patricians were also the judges who punished the
lawbreakers.
Because of this, the plebeians began to fight for their rights, which
were established in the Law of the Twelve Tables (450 BC)*.
Punic wars
During this time, took place the Three Punic wars (264-146 BC) that
faced Romans and Carthaginians. The Romans emerged victorious
and, consequently, Rome had control of the Mediterranean Sea
(Mare Nostrum) and others places, such as the Iberian Peninsula.
“El Senado y el pueblo romano”
9. INVESTIGATION ACTIVITY:
LAW OF THE TWELVE TABLES
Read the information you have on the
following link:
http://www.derechoromano.es/2015/06/ley-xii-
tablas.html
Write a short description about Law of the
Twelve Tables and three of the laws these
tables contained.
10. THE REPUBLIC ENDED…
…When some magistrates and generals (with
so much power), took control of the government
of Rome, formed Triumvirates:
First triumvirate: Julius Caesar, Pompey and
Crassus.
In 48 BC, Caesar was proclaimed perpetual dictator, with
all the power. However, The senators were afraid that
Caesar wanted to be king, so they murdered him in 44 BC.
Second triumvirate: Marco Antonio, Lepidus and
Octavian.
Octavian took all the power and the Senate gave him all
the maximum power (27 BC).
11.
12. THE ROMAN EMPIRE (27 BC – 476 AD)
It began in 27 BC, when the Senate gave political and religious power to
Augustus (Octavian). Augustus held all power and the political institutions
lost their importance.
The titles of Augustus:
Imperator (leader of the military)
Princeps (first citizen of the Senate)
Augustus (put him on the same level of the gods),
Pontifex Maximus (highest religious authority in the Empire).
Some of the most important episodes were:
Pax romana. A long period of peace in Rome. This period lasted two
centuries: the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.
Territorial conquest. The Empire reached its maximum size.
Emperor Caracalla granted citizenship to all free man in the Roman
Empire (year 212).
Edict of Milan (year 313): Emperor Constantine allowed freedom of
worship.
Edict of Thessalonica (year 380): Emperor Theodosius proclaimed
Christianity official religion.
Crisis of the third century. The empire went into decline.
14. ORGANISATION INTO PROVINCES
The Roman Empire was divided into provinces. In the
provinces, Roman culture, language, customs and law
became dominant. This process is known
as Romanisation.
15. CRISIS AND FALL OF THE EMPIRE
Starting in the 3rd century. WHY?
Political instability: increased military power, attack of the
barbarians, political corruption…
Economic instability: shortage of slaves, drop in production, trade
weakened…
Social instability: social unrest.
Division of the Empire by Theodosius (395 BC). Emperor
Theodosius divided the Empire into two parts:
1. The Western Roman
Empire, with Rome as
capital.
2. The Eastern Roman Empire,
with its capital in
Constantinople
16. In 476 AD , the Germanic people (Odoacer)
deposed the last Emperor (Romulus
Augustus) of the Western Roman Empire.
It was the ended of the Roman Empire.
AND ALSO THE END OF ANCIENT
HISTORY!!!!!! AND THE START OF THE
MIDDLE AGES!!!!
FALL OF THE EMPIRE

17. ROMAN CIVILISATION
We are going to learn more about Roman civilisation.
Many Roman aqueducts, bridges, public baths and
amphitheatres can still be seen today.
How have the Romans influenced us?
With the language: many European languages are based
on Latin
With their laws: Our laws are based on Roman laws
With one of the most important religion of the Empire:
Christianity appeared in the Roman Empire
18. 1. THE ECONOMY IN ANCIENT ROME.
ECONOMIC
ACTIVITIES
In the
countryside
Agriculture Livestock
In the city
Craftwork Trade
19. In the countryside: agriculture and
livestock
Main characteristics:
All farmland (and mines too) belonged to the state, which
divided it up among individuals for them to exploit.
There were improvements in farming technology: better tools
and irrigation systems, which improved efficiency and harvest.
The main crops farmed: wheat, grapes and olives.
The main livestock farmed: goats, sheep, cows and horses.
20. TOOLS
Plough and animal draught, such as oxen
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Irrigation canal Aqueduct of Segovia
PloughAnimal draught
21. In the city.
Cities where important economic and commercial centres:
• Most artists had their workshops in the cities.
• Some of the most common products produced were:
weapons, textiles, farming tools and pottery.
22. TRADE
Trade developed intensely.
The main goods traded: agricultural products, craftwork,
minerals and slaves, among others.
There was trade not only within the Empire but also with some
places outside the Empire, so we can talk about:
• Some provinces specialised in producing
certain goods. For instance, Egypt was an
important producer of wheat and Hispania
produced minerals.
Domestic
trade
• From the Germanic territories, the Empire
obtained some products, such as leather, wood
and slaves.
• From Africa, gold, ivory and slaves, too.
• From the East, perfumes and other luxury
products.
Foreign trade
23. THE EXPANSION OF THE ROMAN
COMMERCE
The three main factors that allowed commerce to expand were:
Military conquest: allowed Rome to acquire
wealth and slaves and colonise new territories.
Land and sea travel: communicate between the
different parts of the Empire was easy thanks to
an excellent network of roads and ports.
A single currency: in Roman territories existed
a common currency. The most common coin was
the silver denarius, although there were other,
such as the ace of gold and the sextercio.
26. 1.2. ROMAN CITIES
Roman cities were the main economic and commercial
centres, and were the political administration was located, too.
The cities layout was based on the roman military camps
(castras).
There was a main road that went from north to south called the
cardo.
The main road from east to west was called the decumanus. The
rest of the roads were parallel to these two main roads, so they
made a grid.
Where the cardo crossed the decumanus, there was a big
28. 2. SOCIETY
FREE PEOPLE. They were divided into: citizens (with rights) or
no-citizens (free people with no rights).
Patricians: they were nobles and held all political rights.
Plebeians: most people were plebeians. They had some rights but
did not participate in government. During the republic, the
plebeians rebelled and achieved equal rights.
In 212 (with Caracalla), all free men in the Empire were made
citizens. However, citizenships was never extended to women or
foreingners.
SLAVES: were not considered as people and had no rights.
People became slaves if they were taken prisoner in a war, if
they didn´t pay their debts or if they were children of slaves. If
their owners freed them, they became liberti (libertos). Slaves
could became free by buying their freedom. Slave owners could also free their
slaves= manumission.
ROMAN WOMEN. Belonged to their fathers of husbands. They
didn´t have the right to vote, but they could own property.

KIND OF HOUSES
32. 3. ROMAN CULTURE
1. Roman law.
One of the most important, the Law of the Twelve Tables
(450 BC).
2. Language and literature.
Roman culture was transmitted through the spread of
Latin, the language used by all inhabitants of the Empire.
Romans made important contributions to philosophy
(Seneca), literature (Ovid, Horace and Virgil), medicine
(Galen) and history (Julious Caesar, Tacitus and Livy).
3. Roman religion .
Official religion (until 380, when Christianity is the official
religion of the Empire): POLYTHEISTIC.
Imperial cult. During the Roman Empire, the emperor
began to worshipped like a god.
In 380: Christianity official religion of the Empire.
33. LUCIO ANNEO SÉNECA. FILÓSOFO LATINO.
Séneca
Importa mucho más lo que tú piensas de ti mismo
que lo que los otros opinen de ti.
En tres tiempos se divide la vida: en presente,
pasado y futuro. De éstos, el presente es
brevísimo; el futuro, dudoso; el pasado, cierto.
El que no quiera vivir sino entre justos, viva en el
desierto.
No es pobre el que tiene poco, sino el que mucho
desea.
¡ESTUDIA! NO PARA SABER UNA COSA MÁS,
SINO PARA SABERLA MEJOR.
34. 4. ROMAN ARCHITECTURE
The Romans constructed a lot of public
buildings and engineering works:
Aqueducts: to transport water to the cities.
Temples: to venerate their Gods.
Amphitheatres: these held gladiator and animal
