Today's Class

In today's class, we talked more about Rome from the Power Point Slides.  We talked about the Roman Expansion.  We learned much about Rome's expansion.  We learned that Rome was a military culture.  Rome made a number of improvements to the older Greek tactics which made their armies nimble and effective.  When Rome conquered a neighboring territory, they often extended Roman rights and privileges to the conquered people.  This would absorb them into Rome itself.  Non-Romans in Italy, were anxious to become Roman citizens.
