Thursday's class

Today is Grandparents day, and there was a lot of Grandparents here in class which was good.  After all that commotion Mr. Schick went over more of the Rome powerpoint.  I have some notes from today.

Etruscans

• they came from the north-central part of the peninsula
• they were mostly metal workers, artists, and architects

Greeks

• they had many colonies around the Mediterranean Sea
• Romans borrowed ideas from them, such as:

1. religious beliefs
2. alphabet
3. art
4. military techniques and weaponry

Latins

• descendants of indo-europeans
• settled on the banks of the Tiber River
• Rome situated that trading ships could come into Rome but not Army ships
• they have a commercial port

after we took all the notes Mr. Schick told us a story about Tarquin the proud.  It was a very very weird but interesting story.  I'll talk to you tomorrow... cya
