Latin's were the first group to start setting
Etruscans had an alphabet
System of writing
Settled on the Tiber river
They are never going to have just one single person in charge
After Rome won the war with Carthage it became a empire
The Gracchus brother's led movements for public good
they also wanted the government to supply food to the poor and create a sort of "welfare"
The Gracchus brothers were soon seen as a threat to the rich and were killed along with their followers.
This triggered a one hundred year war
The rich are getting richer and living on the latifundia
The Rubicon is a stream in northeastern Italy that marked the ancient boundary between Italy and cisalpine 
Julius Caesar started to ride in 60. B.C.
58 B.C. started his conquest in Gaul
He decided to stay in Gaul
He started toward Rome in January 49 B.C.
The first triumvirate was the political alliance of Gaius and Julius Caesar
Marcus Licinius Crassus was really rich
He was known for part in three great events
Crassus, Pompeius, Julius Caesar
Julius was said to be stabbed 23 times when he was killed
He was killed on March 15
60 or more men were said to participate in the assassination
He was first stabbed by a guy named Casca
He tried to get up but then realized he had 23 stab wounds
Everybody had knifes and all took a turn stabbing him
He was the senate
Octavian was the grand nephew and adopted Julius Caesar
They got revenge on the people who killed Julius
100 senators and 2000 businessmen were kill for revenge of the death of Julius
