Ancient Rome

The Etruscans, an ancient civilization from Italy, played a pivotal role in shaping early Roman society. Believed to have ruled the region, their cultural contributions include the construction of temples, roads, and homes, fundamentally influencing Roman architecture and governance. Exploring the dynamics between the Patricians and Plebians reveals complexities in political rights and social order within the Republic. The Punic Wars further illustrate Rome's military might, marking a significant transition from a Republic to an Empire under leaders like Tiberius Gracchus, who championed the rights of the lower class.
