CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

would eventually model their architecturesculpture and literature after the Greeks

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

Reading Focus Have you heard the phrase ldquowinning

hearts and mindsrdquo It means convincing people to support

you rather than just forcing them to obey Read on to learn

how the Romans not only conquered other people in Italy

but also won their hearts and minds

The Etruscans ruled Rome for more than100 years Under the Etruscans Romebecame wealthy and powerful Howeverthe ruling family called the Tarquins(TAHR bullkwihnz) grew more and more cruel

Finally in 509 BC the Romans rebelledThey overthrew the Tarquins and set up arepublic (rihbullPUHbullblihk) A republic is a formof government in which the leader is not aking or queen but someone put in office bycitizens with the right to vote In a republicthe citizens have the power The rise of theRoman Republic marked the beginning of anew chapter in Romersquos history

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

Brutus (left) was one ofthe senators who killedCaesar Antony (above)supported Caesar andhis nephew Octavianand fought againstCaesarrsquos assassins

small river at the southern boundary of hiscommand area By doing so Caesar knewthat he was starting a civil war and that therewas no turning back The phrase ldquocrossingthe Rubiconrdquo is used today to mean makinga decision that you cannot take back

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

While many Romans supported Caesarothers did not His supporters believed hewas a strong leader who brought peace andorder to Rome His enemies howeverfeared that Caesar wanted to be king Theseopponents led by the senators Brutus andCassius plotted to kill him Caesar ignoreda famous warning to ldquobeware the Ides ofMarchrdquo (March 15) On that date in 44 BCCaesarrsquos enemies surrounded him andstabbed him to death

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

AUGUSTUS63 BCndashAD 14

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

but also won their hearts and minds

The Etruscans ruled Rome for more than100 years Under the Etruscans Romebecame wealthy and powerful Howeverthe ruling family called the Tarquins(TAHR bullkwihnz) grew more and more cruel

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

With these policies the Romans provedthemselves clever rulers They knew thatconquered peoples would be more loyal tothe government if they were well treatedRomersquos generosity paid off As a result therepublic grew stronger and more unified

All the same Rome was not afraid touse force if necessary If conquered peoplesrevolted against Roman rule their resist-ance was swiftly put down

Romersquos GovernmentRomersquos republic was shaped by a strug-

gle between wealthy landowners and regular citi-zens as it gradually expanded the right to vote

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

small river at the southern boundary of hiscommand area By doing so Caesar knewthat he was starting a civil war and that therewas no turning back The phrase ldquocrossingthe Rubiconrdquo is used today to mean makinga decision that you cannot take back

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

While many Romans supported Caesarothers did not His supporters believed hewas a strong leader who brought peace andorder to Rome His enemies howeverfeared that Caesar wanted to be king Theseopponents led by the senators Brutus andCassius plotted to kill him Caesar ignoreda famous warning to ldquobeware the Ides ofMarchrdquo (March 15) On that date in 44 BCCaesarrsquos enemies surrounded him andstabbed him to death

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 263

The Origins of RomeGeography played an important role in

the rise of Roman civilization

Reading Focus If you were founding a new city what

natural features would influence your choice of a build-

ing site As you read this section think about the

choices that the early Romans made

Italy is in an important location in themiddle of the Mediterranean region It is along narrow peninsula with a distinctiveshape it looks like a high-heeled boot jut-ting into the sea The heel points towardGreece and the toe toward the island ofSicily (SIH bull suh bull lee) Across the top of theboot are the Alps craggy mountains thatseparate Italy from European lands to thenorth Another mountain range theApennines (A bullpuh bull NYNZ) runs all the waydown the boot from north to south

The landscape of Italy is similar to thatof Greece but the Apennines are not asrugged as Greecersquos mountains They can becrossed much more easily As a result thepeople who settled in Italy were not split upinto small isolated communities as theGreeks were In addition Italy had betterfarmland than Greece Its mountain slopeslevel off to large flat plains that are ideal forgrowing crops With more capacity to pro-duce food Italy could support more peoplethan Greece could

Historians know little about the firstpeople to live in Italy There is evidencehowever that groups from the northslipped through Italyrsquos mountain passesbetween about 1500 BC and 1000 BCAttracted by the mild climate and rich soila small but steady stream of newcomers set-tled in the hills and on the plains Amongthese peoples were a Latin-speaking peoplewho built the city of Rome on the plain ofLatium (LAY bull shee bulluhm) in central Italy

Where Was Rome Located Geographyplayed a major part in the location ofRome The site chosen for Rome wasabout 15 miles (24 km) up the Tiber River(TY bullbuhr) from the Mediterranean Sea TheTiber River gave the Romans a source ofwater and a way to the rest of theMediterranean world At the same timeRome was far enough from the sea toescape raids by pirates

In addition Rome was built on sevenhills The Romans did this on purpose Thehills were very steep making it easy todefend the city against enemy attack Romewas also located at a place where peoplecould easily cross the Tiber River As aresult Rome became a stopping place forpeople traveling north and south in westernItaly and for merchant ships sailing in thewestern Mediterranean

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

How Did Rome Begin Two different leg-ends describe how Rome began The tradi-tional story is that twin brothers namedRomulus (RAHM bull yuh bull luhs) and Remus(REE bullmuhs) founded the city As babies the

boys were abandoned near the Tiber RiverRescued by a wolf and raised by a shep-herd they decided to build a city in 753 BCThe twins quarreled however and Remusmade fun of the wall his brother was build-ing In a fury Romulus lashed out at Remus

and killed him Romulus went on tobecome the first king of Rome thenew city he named after himself

The seeds of Rome are tracedeven farther back in the Aeneid afamous epic by the Roman poetVirgil The Aeneid is the story of theTrojan hero Aeneas (ih bull NEE bull uhs)He and a band of followers are saidto have sailed the MediterraneanSea after the Greeks captured TroyAfter many adventures the Trojanslanded at the mouth of the Tiber

Through warfare and then marriage to thelocal kingrsquos daughter Aeneas united theTrojans and some of the Latins (LA bull tuhnz)the local people He thus became theldquofatherrdquo of the Romans

Historians are not sure how Romebegan They think that Latins lived in thearea of Rome as early as 1000 BC They builthuts on Romersquos hills tended herds andgrew crops Sometime between 800 BC and700 BC they decided to band together forprotection It was this community thatbecame known as Rome

Early Influences After about 800 BCother groups joined the Romans in ItalyTwo of these groups the Greeks and theEtruscans (ih bullTRUHS bullkuhnz) played a majorrole in shaping Roman civilization

Many Greeks came to southern Italyand Sicily between 750 BC and 550 BCwhen Greece was busily building overseascolonies From the Greeks Romans learnedto grow olives and grapes They alsoadopted the Greek alphabet and they

Romersquos early growth was influencedmost however by the Etruscans TheEtruscans lived north of Rome in Etruria(ih bullTRUR bullee bulluh) After 650 BC they movedsouth and took control of Rome and most ofLatium

The Etruscans were skilled metalwork-ers who became rich from mining andtrade They forced enslaved people to dothe heaviest work and made their own livescomfortable Their tomb paintings showmen and women feasting dancing andplaying music and sports Some murals alsoshow bloody battle scenes revealing theEtruscansrsquo pride in their military

The Etruscans changed Rome from a vil-lage of straw-roofed huts into a city ofwood and brick buildings They laid outstreets temples and public buildingsaround a central square Etruscans alsotaught Romans a new style of dress featur-ing short cloaks and togasmdashloose garmentsdraped over one shoulder More impor-tantly the Etruscan army would serve as amodel for the mighty army the Romanseventually assembled

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Romersquos GovernmentRomersquos republic was shaped by a strug-

gle between wealthy landowners and regular citi-zens as it gradually expanded the right to vote

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

How Did Romersquos Government Work Inthe Roman Republic the top governmentofficials were the consuls (KAHNbull suhlz) Twoconsulsmdashboth patriciansmdashwere chosenevery year They headed the army and ranthe government Because they served suchshort terms there was little risk that theywould abuse their power The consuls also

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

small river at the southern boundary of hiscommand area By doing so Caesar knewthat he was starting a civil war and that therewas no turning back The phrase ldquocrossingthe Rubiconrdquo is used today to mean makinga decision that you cannot take back

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

While many Romans supported Caesarothers did not His supporters believed hewas a strong leader who brought peace andorder to Rome His enemies howeverfeared that Caesar wanted to be king Theseopponents led by the senators Brutus andCassius plotted to kill him Caesar ignoreda famous warning to ldquobeware the Ides ofMarchrdquo (March 15) On that date in 44 BCCaesarrsquos enemies surrounded him andstabbed him to death

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

At the time Rome became a republic itwas still a small city surrounded by ene-mies Over the next 200 years the Romansfought war after war against their neigh-bors In 338 BC they finally defeated theother Latins living nearby Next theyattacked the Etruscans and defeated themin 284 BC By 267 BC the Romans had alsoconquered the Greeks in southern ItalyWith this victory the Romans became themasters of almost all of Italy

Why Was Rome So Strong Rome wasable to conquer Italy because the Romanswere excellent soldiers In the republicrsquosearly days every male citizen who ownedland had to serve in the army Disciplinewas harsh and deserters were punished bydeath The tough discipline helped moldRoman soldiers into fighters who did notgive up easily In addition they were prac-tical problem solvers

For example Roman armies at firstfought like Greek armies Row upon row ofsoldiers marched shoulder to shoulderkeeping their shields together and holdinglong spears Roman generals soon realizedthat this way of fighting was slow and hardto control They reorganized their soldiersinto smaller groups called legions (LEE bulljuhnz) Each legion had about 6000 men andwas further divided into groups of 60 to 120 soldiers These small groups couldquickly cut through enemy lines

Roman soldiers or legionaries werearmed with a short sword called a gladiusand a spear called a pilum Each unit alsocarried its own standardmdasha tall poletopped with a symbol In battle standardshelped keep units together because the sol-diers could see them above the action

Shrewd Rulers The Romans were not onlygood fighters but also smart planners Asthey expanded throughout Italy they builtpermanent military settlements in the areasthey conquered Then they built roadsbetween these towns These roads allowedtroops to travel swiftly to any place in theirgrowing territory

To rule their new conquests theRomans created the Roman ConfederationUnder this system Romans gave full citi-zenship to some peoples especially otherLatins They could vote and serve in thegovernment and they were treated the

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

How Did Romersquos Government Work Inthe Roman Republic the top governmentofficials were the consuls (KAHNbull suhlz) Twoconsulsmdashboth patriciansmdashwere chosenevery year They headed the army and ranthe government Because they served suchshort terms there was little risk that theywould abuse their power The consuls also

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

800 BC by the Phoenicians As you learnedearlier the Phoenicians were sea traders fromthe Middle East

Up until then the Romans had foughttheir wars on land However they soonrealized they could not defeat a sea powerlike Carthage without a navy They quicklybuilt a large fleet of ships and confrontedtheir enemy at sea The war dragged on formore than 20 years Finally in 241 BCRome crushed Carthagersquos navy off the coastof Sicily Carthage was forced to leave Sicilyand pay a huge fine to the Romans Theisland then came under Roman rule

The Second Punic War To make up for itsloss of Sicily Carthage expanded its empireinto southern Spain Roman leaders were

not happy about Carthage gaining landnear Romersquos northern border They helpedthe people living in Spain rebel againstCarthage Of course Carthaginians wereangry To punish Rome Carthage sent itsgreatest general Hannibal (HA bull nuh bull buhl)to attack Rome in 218 BC This started theSecond Punic War

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

Romersquos GovernmentRomersquos republic was shaped by a strug-

gle between wealthy landowners and regular citi-zens as it gradually expanded the right to vote

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

How Did Romersquos Government Work Inthe Roman Republic the top governmentofficials were the consuls (KAHNbull suhlz) Twoconsulsmdashboth patriciansmdashwere chosenevery year They headed the army and ranthe government Because they served suchshort terms there was little risk that theywould abuse their power The consuls also

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

Romersquos GovernmentRomersquos republic was shaped by a strug-

gle between wealthy landowners and regular citi-zens as it gradually expanded the right to vote

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

How Did Romersquos Government Work Inthe Roman Republic the top governmentofficials were the consuls (KAHNbull suhlz) Twoconsulsmdashboth patriciansmdashwere chosenevery year They headed the army and ranthe government Because they served suchshort terms there was little risk that theywould abuse their power The consuls also

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

These bundles ofrods and axescalled fascessymbolized thelegal authority ofRoman leaders

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

Romersquos GovernmentRomersquos republic was shaped by a strug-

gle between wealthy landowners and regular citi-zens as it gradually expanded the right to vote

Reading Focus Do you know where our word

republic comes from It is made up of two Latin words

meaning ldquothing of the peoplerdquo Read on to learn about

the republican government that early Romans created

Early Romans were divided into twoclasses patricians and plebeians The patricians (puh bull TRIH bull shuhnz) were wealthylandowners These nobles made up Romersquosruling class Most of Romersquos people how-ever were plebeians (plih bull BEE bull uhnz) Thisgroup included artisans shopkeepers andowners of small farms

Both patrician and plebeian men wereRoman citizens They had the right to voteand the responsibility to pay taxes and servein the army However plebeians had lesssocial status Marriage between members ofthe two classes was forbidden Plebeiansalso lacked an important political right theycould not hold public office Only patricianscould serve in the government

How Did Romersquos Government Work Inthe Roman Republic the top governmentofficials were the consuls (KAHNbull suhlz) Twoconsulsmdashboth patriciansmdashwere chosenevery year They headed the army and ranthe government Because they served suchshort terms there was little risk that theywould abuse their power The consuls also

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

kept each other in line because each couldveto (VEEbull toh) or reject the otherrsquos decisionThe word veto is Latin for ldquoI forbidrdquo

Rome had other important officialscalled praetors (PREE bull tuhrz) Their main jobwas to interpret the law and act as judges incourt cases Various other officials per-formed specialized dutiesmdashkeeping taxrecords handling public finances supervis-ing public festivals and so forth

Romersquos most important legislative orlawmaking body was the Senate This wasa select group of 300 patrician men whoserved for life In the beginning the Senateonly gave advice to the consuls Over time

the power of the Senate grew By the 200s BC it could also propose laws holddebates on important issues and approvebuilding programs

Another legislative body was theAssembly of Centuries It elected importantofficials such as consuls and praetors andpassed laws Like the Senate the Assemblyof Centuries was under the control of thepatricians

Plebeians Against Patricians As youmight expect plebeians complained abouthaving so little power in the Roman RepublicAfter all they fought alongside patricians inthe army and their tax payments helped therepublic thrive It seemed reasonable thatthey should have equal rights

Eventually the plebeians took action tobring about change In 494 BC many ple-beians went on strike They refused toserve in the army They also left the city toset up a republic of their own These movesfrightened the patricians into agreeing toshare power

In 471 BC the plebeians were allowed toset up their own body of representativescalled the Council of the Plebs The assem-bly elected tribunes who brought plebeianconcerns to the governmentrsquos attention Thetribunes also won the right to veto govern-ment decisions In 455 BC plebeians andpatricians were allowed to marry and inthe 300s BC plebeians were allowed tobecome consuls

The most far-reaching political reformcame in 287 BC In that year the Council ofthe Plebs finally gained the power to passlaws for all Romans Now all male citizenshad equal political standing at least in the-ory In practice a few wealthy patricianfamilies still held most of the power andwomen remained without a voice in government The Roman Republic had

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Up until then the Romans had foughttheir wars on land However they soonrealized they could not defeat a sea powerlike Carthage without a navy They quicklybuilt a large fleet of ships and confrontedtheir enemy at sea The war dragged on formore than 20 years Finally in 241 BCRome crushed Carthagersquos navy off the coastof Sicily Carthage was forced to leave Sicilyand pay a huge fine to the Romans Theisland then came under Roman rule

The Second Punic War To make up for itsloss of Sicily Carthage expanded its empireinto southern Spain Roman leaders were

not happy about Carthage gaining landnear Romersquos northern border They helpedthe people living in Spain rebel againstCarthage Of course Carthaginians wereangry To punish Rome Carthage sent itsgreatest general Hannibal (HA bull nuh bull buhl)to attack Rome in 218 BC This started theSecond Punic War

Hannibalrsquos strategy was to take thefighting into Italy itself To do thisHannibal gathered an army of about 46000 men many horses and 37 elephantsHe landed his forces in Spain and thenmarched east to attack Italy

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

Who Was Cincinnatus An unusual fea-ture of the Roman Republic was the officeof dictator (DIHK bull tay bull tuhr) We define adictator today as an oppressive ruler withcomplete control over the state Romandictators also had complete control butthey served the people and ruled on a tem-porary basis during emergencies TheSenate would appoint a dictator in times of great danger As soon as the danger was past Roman dictators gave up theirpower

The best-known early Roman dictator isCincinnatus (SIHN bull suh bull NA bull tuhs) About 460 BC a powerful enemy had surroundeda Roman army Officials decided that thecrisis called for a dictator and thatCincinnatus was the man for the job Theofficials found Cincinnatus plowing hisfields A loyal and devoted citizenCincinnatus left his farm and gathered anarmy He defeated the enemy in short orderand returned to Rome in triumphAlthough he probably could have contin-ued ruling Cincinnatus did not wantpower Having done his duty he returnedto his farm a mere 15 or 16 days afterbecoming dictator

Cincinnatus was widely admired in hisown time and in later ages GeorgeWashington for one took inspiration from his example Like CincinnatusWashington was a farmer when he wasasked to head an army the ContinentalArmy in the American War forIndependence After leading the Americansto victory Washington returned to his plan-tation home Only later and with somereluctance did he agree to become the firstpresident of the United States

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Cincinnatus is asked to lead Rome

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

LUCIUS QUINCTIUS

CINCINNATUSc 519ndash438 BC

The loyal devotion of Cincinnatus greatly

impressed the Roman historian Livy In his

History of Rome Livy advised his readers to

listen to the worthwhile story of Cincinnatus

whose virtue rose high above any rewards

that wealth could bring

According to Livy Cincinnatus lived in

Rome but owned and worked a four-acre field

on the other side of the Tiber River On the

day that the officials looked for Cincinnatus

they found him hard at work in his field

covered with dirt and sweat Cincinnatus was

surprised when the officials asked him to put

on his toga and listen as they explained the

wishes of the Roman Senate Cincinnatus

must not have been aware of the danger

the Roman army faced because he asked

the officials if everything was all right before

calling to his wife Racilia and asking her to

bring him his toga quickly

The officials explained the emergency

situation to Cincinnatus He agreed to the Senatersquos

request that he become a dictator Cincinnatus and

the officials crossed the Tiber River

to Rome and were greeted by his

three sons other relatives and

friends and members of the Senate

Later they escorted Cincinnatus

safely to his home The next

morning before daylight

Cincinnatus went to the Forum

and gathered his forces to attack

the enemy

Cincinnatus is asked to lead Rome

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

Explain What change didMarius make to the Roman army

Tiberius Gracchus(left) and hisbrother Gaiusbelieved that mov-ing poor Romansfrom the city tofarms would helpsolve the republicrsquosproblems What happened to theGracchus brothers

small river at the southern boundary of hiscommand area By doing so Caesar knewthat he was starting a civil war and that therewas no turning back The phrase ldquocrossingthe Rubiconrdquo is used today to mean makinga decision that you cannot take back

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

While many Romans supported Caesarothers did not His supporters believed hewas a strong leader who brought peace andorder to Rome His enemies howeverfeared that Caesar wanted to be king Theseopponents led by the senators Brutus andCassius plotted to kill him Caesar ignoreda famous warning to ldquobeware the Ides ofMarchrdquo (March 15) On that date in 44 BCCaesarrsquos enemies surrounded him andstabbed him to death

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Roman Law One of Romersquos chief gifts tothe world was its system of law The legalsystem of the United States owes much tothe Roman system

Romersquos first code of laws was the TwelveTables adopted about 451 BC Before this time Romersquos laws were not writtendown As a result plebeians claimed thatpatrician judges oftenfavored their own classThey demanded that thelaws be put in writing foreveryone to see

The patricians finallyagreed They had the lawscarved on bronze tabletsthat were placed inRomersquos marketplace orthe Forum (FOHR bull uhm)The Twelve Tables becamethe basis for all futureRoman laws They estab-lished the principle thatall free citizens had theright to be treated equallyby the legal system

The Twelve Tables however appliedonly to Roman citizens As the Romans tookover more lands they realized that newrules were needed to solve legal disputesbetween citizens and noncitizens They cre-ated a collection of laws called the Law ofNations It stated principles of justice thatapplied to all people everywhere

These standards of justice included ideasthat we still accept today A person was seenas innocent until proven guilty Peopleaccused of crimes could defend themselvesbefore a judge A judge had to look at theevidence carefully before making a decision

The idea that the law should apply toeveryone equally and that all people shouldbe treated the same way by the legal system

is called the ldquorule of lawrdquo In the age of Romethe rule of law was still a new idea In manylands people at the top of society often hadspecial privileges and did not have to obeythe same laws or use the same courts as peo-ple lower down In some places people at thebottom of society did not have any legalrights at all The rule of law is one of the keyideas that the Romans gave to the world It isstill the basis of our legal system today

Contrast Before 471 BCwhat right did patricians have that plebeians did not

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 273

Twelve Tables c 451 BC

The Twelve Tables were laws writtenon tablets that described the rightsof each person in the Roman RepublicThe laws were the first set of rules to govern Rome Writing the lawsdown and putting them on publicdisplay ensured that everyone knew the laws and that judges didnot apply the laws differently todifferent people

The laws on the Twelve Tablesexplained a personrsquos rights concerningproperty wills public behavior familylaw and court actions The TwelveTables were the first step toward equal rights for citizens of all classesin ancient Rome They were also a first step toward the idea of the ruleof law that we still uphold today

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Up until then the Romans had foughttheir wars on land However they soonrealized they could not defeat a sea powerlike Carthage without a navy They quicklybuilt a large fleet of ships and confrontedtheir enemy at sea The war dragged on formore than 20 years Finally in 241 BCRome crushed Carthagersquos navy off the coastof Sicily Carthage was forced to leave Sicilyand pay a huge fine to the Romans Theisland then came under Roman rule

The Second Punic War To make up for itsloss of Sicily Carthage expanded its empireinto southern Spain Roman leaders were

not happy about Carthage gaining landnear Romersquos northern border They helpedthe people living in Spain rebel againstCarthage Of course Carthaginians wereangry To punish Rome Carthage sent itsgreatest general Hannibal (HA bull nuh bull buhl)to attack Rome in 218 BC This started theSecond Punic War

Hannibalrsquos strategy was to take thefighting into Italy itself To do thisHannibal gathered an army of about 46000 men many horses and 37 elephantsHe landed his forces in Spain and thenmarched east to attack Italy

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

AUGUSTUS63 BCndashAD 14

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

Explain What change didMarius make to the Roman army

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

Caesarrsquos Military Campaigns The mem-bers of the Triumvirate each had a militarycommand in a remote area of the republicPompey was in Spain Crassus in Syria andCaesar in Gaul (modern France) While inGaul Caesar battled foreign tribes andinvaded Britain He became a hero toRomersquos lower classes Senators and othersback home in Rome feared that Caesar wasbecoming too popular and might seizepower like Sulla

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

Explain What change didMarius make to the Roman army

Tiberius Gracchus(left) and hisbrother Gaiusbelieved that mov-ing poor Romansfrom the city tofarms would helpsolve the republicrsquosproblems What happened to theGracchus brothers

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

Caesarrsquos Military Campaigns The mem-bers of the Triumvirate each had a militarycommand in a remote area of the republicPompey was in Spain Crassus in Syria andCaesar in Gaul (modern France) While inGaul Caesar battled foreign tribes andinvaded Britain He became a hero toRomersquos lower classes Senators and othersback home in Rome feared that Caesar wasbecoming too popular and might seizepower like Sulla

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Brutus (left) was one ofthe senators who killedCaesar Antony (above)supported Caesar andhis nephew Octavianand fought againstCaesarrsquos assassins

small river at the southern boundary of hiscommand area By doing so Caesar knewthat he was starting a civil war and that therewas no turning back The phrase ldquocrossingthe Rubiconrdquo is used today to mean makinga decision that you cannot take back

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

While many Romans supported Caesarothers did not His supporters believed hewas a strong leader who brought peace andorder to Rome His enemies howeverfeared that Caesar wanted to be king Theseopponents led by the senators Brutus andCassius plotted to kill him Caesar ignoreda famous warning to ldquobeware the Ides ofMarchrdquo (March 15) On that date in 44 BCCaesarrsquos enemies surrounded him andstabbed him to death

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Trouble in the RepublicThe use of enslaved labor hurt farmers

increased poverty and corruption and brought thearmy into politics

Reading Focus Poverty corruption unemployment

crime and violence are problems we hear about today

Read on to learn how the Romans struggled with these

same issues 2000 years ago

Romersquos armies were victorious wher-ever they went Yet problems were buildingat home Dishonest officials stole moneyand the gap between rich and poor wasgrowing Thousands of farmers faced ruinand the cities were becoming overcrowdedand dangerous

Rich Versus Poor As you read in Section 2most of the people who ruled Rome werepatriciansmdashrich people who owned largefarms These rich landowners ran the Senateand held the most powerful governmentjobs They handled Romersquos finances anddirected its wars Despite some gains for theplebeians many people became veryunhappy about this situation

Rome had few privileged citizens com-pared with the many Romans who farmedsmall plots of land In the 100s BC how-ever these farmers were sinking intopoverty and debt Why Many of them hadbeen unable to farm because they werefighting in Romersquos wars Others had suf-fered damage to their farms duringHannibalrsquos invasion of Italy

Moreover small farmers could not com-pete with wealthy Romans who were buy-ing up land to create latifundia (LA bull tuh bullFUHN bull dee bull uh) or large farming estatesThese rich landowners used a new sourceof labormdashthe thousands of prisonersbrought to Italy during the wars By usingthese enslaved people to tend their cropswealthy Romans could force owners ofsmall farms out of business

Faced with debts they could not payoff many farmers sold their land andheaded to the cities desperate for workHowever jobs were hard to find Enslavedpeople did most of the work If free menwere lucky enough to be hired theyearned low wages These conditions cre-ated widespread anger

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

AUGUSTUS63 BCndashAD 14

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

CHAPTER 8 The Rise of Rome 279

Roman politicians were worried aboutriots breaking out but they quickly turnedthe situation to their advantage To win thevotes of the poor they began providingcheap food and entertainment This policyof ldquobread and circusesrdquo helped many dis-honest rulers come to power

Why Did Reform Fail Not all wealthy peo-ple ignored the problems facing the RomanRepublic Two prominent officials whoworked for reforms were Tiberius and GaiusGracchus (GRAbullkuhs) These brothers thoughtthat many of Romersquos problems were causedby the loss of small farms They asked theSenate to take back public land from the richand divide it among landless Romans

Many senators however were amongthose who had claimed parcels of publicland Putting their own interests above thegeneral welfare they fought the Gracchusbrothersrsquo proposals A band of senators evenwent so far as to kill Tiberius in 133 BCTwelve years later Gaius met the same fateThese were dark days for the RomanRepublic when the people charged withmaking and upholding the laws could soshockingly violate them

The Army Enters Politics Matters onlyworsened as the Roman army took on a newrole Until now the army had mostly stayedout of government affairs Things changedwhen a military leader named Mariusbecame consul in 107 BC Previously mostsoldiers were owners of small farms Nowbecause this type of farmer was disappearingMarius began to recruit soldiers from the

poor In return for their service he paidthem wages and promised them the onething they desperately wantedmdashland

Marius changed the Roman army fromcitizen volunteers to paid professional sol-diers The new troops however weremotivated by material rewards rather thana sense of duty They felt loyal to theirgeneral not to the Roman Republic Thisgave individual generals a great deal ofinfluence and good reason to becomeinvolved in politics They needed to getlaws passed that would provide the landthey had promised their soldiers

Mariusrsquos new military system led tonew power struggles It was not long beforeMarius faced a challenge from a rival gen-eral with his own army a man named SullaIn 82 BC Sulla drove his enemies out ofRome and made himself dictator

Over the next three years Sulla changedthe government He weakened the Councilof the Plebs and strengthened the SenateThen he stepped down from office Hehoped that the Roman Republic could healits wounds and recapture its glory InsteadRome plunged into an era of civil wars forthe next 50 years Ambitious men saw howSulla used an army to seize power Theydecided to follow the same path

Explain What change didMarius make to the Roman army

Tiberius Gracchus(left) and hisbrother Gaiusbelieved that mov-ing poor Romansfrom the city tofarms would helpsolve the republicrsquosproblems What happened to theGracchus brothers

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

While many Romans supported Caesarothers did not His supporters believed hewas a strong leader who brought peace andorder to Rome His enemies howeverfeared that Caesar wanted to be king Theseopponents led by the senators Brutus andCassius plotted to kill him Caesar ignoreda famous warning to ldquobeware the Ides ofMarchrdquo (March 15) On that date in 44 BCCaesarrsquos enemies surrounded him andstabbed him to death

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

learn about a famous Roman who made a similar jump

from military leader to political leader

After Sulla left office different Romanleaders battled for power supported bytheir loyal armies In 60 BC three men wereon top Crassus Pompey and Julius Caesar(jool bull yuhs SEE bull zuhr) Crassus was a mili-tary leader and one of the richest men inRome Pompey and Caesar were not as richbut both were successful military menDrawing on their wealth and power theyformed the First Triumvirate to rule RomeA triumvirate (try bull UHM bull vuh bull ruht) is apolitical alliance of three people

Caesarrsquos Military Campaigns The mem-bers of the Triumvirate each had a militarycommand in a remote area of the republicPompey was in Spain Crassus in Syria andCaesar in Gaul (modern France) While inGaul Caesar battled foreign tribes andinvaded Britain He became a hero toRomersquos lower classes Senators and othersback home in Rome feared that Caesar wasbecoming too popular and might seizepower like Sulla

After Crassus was killed in battle in 53 BC the Senate decided that Pompeyshould return to Italy and rule alone In 49 BC the Senate ordered Caesar to give uphis army and come home Caesar faced adifficult choice He could obey the Senateand perhaps face prison or death at thehands of his rivals or he could march onRome with his army and risk a civil war

small river at the southern boundary of hiscommand area By doing so Caesar knewthat he was starting a civil war and that therewas no turning back The phrase ldquocrossingthe Rubiconrdquo is used today to mean makinga decision that you cannot take back

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

While many Romans supported Caesarothers did not His supporters believed hewas a strong leader who brought peace andorder to Rome His enemies howeverfeared that Caesar wanted to be king Theseopponents led by the senators Brutus andCassius plotted to kill him Caesar ignoreda famous warning to ldquobeware the Ides ofMarchrdquo (March 15) On that date in 44 BCCaesarrsquos enemies surrounded him andstabbed him to death

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

small river at the southern boundary of hiscommand area By doing so Caesar knewthat he was starting a civil war and that therewas no turning back The phrase ldquocrossingthe Rubiconrdquo is used today to mean makinga decision that you cannot take back

Pompey tried to stop Caesar but Caesarwas the better general He drove Pompeyrsquosforces from Italy and then destroyedPompeyrsquos army in Greece in 48 BC

Caesarrsquos Rise to Power In 44 BC Caesarhad himself declared dictator of Rome forlife This broke with the Roman traditionthat allowed dictators to hold power foronly short periods of time To strengthen hishold on power Caesar filled the Senate withnew members who were loyal to him

At the same time Caesar knew thatreforms were needed He granted citizen-ship to people living in Romersquos territoriesoutside the Italian peninsula He started newcolonies to provide land for the landless andcreated work for Romersquos jobless people Heordered landowners using slave labor to hire

more free workers These measures madeCaesar popular with Romersquos poor

Caesar also created a new calendar with12 months 365 days and a leap year TheJulian calendar as it was called was usedthroughout Europe until AD 1582 Thatyear it was modified slightly to become theGregorian calendar This calendar based onthe birth of Christ has been used in theUnited States since its beginning and isused by most countries in the world today

While many Romans supported Caesarothers did not His supporters believed hewas a strong leader who brought peace andorder to Rome His enemies howeverfeared that Caesar wanted to be king Theseopponents led by the senators Brutus andCassius plotted to kill him Caesar ignoreda famous warning to ldquobeware the Ides ofMarchrdquo (March 15) On that date in 44 BCCaesarrsquos enemies surrounded him andstabbed him to death

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

AUGUSTUS63 BCndashAD 14

Octavian was born to a wealthy family in a

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

Explain What did Augustusdo to make the empire safer and stronger

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

The Emperor AugustusBy expanding the empire and reorgan-

izing the military and government Augustus cre-ated a new era of prosperity

Reading Focus What makes a good or bad leader

Think about this question as you read about Augustus

and other Roman emperors

Augustus paved the way for 200 years ofpeace and prosperity in Rome The emperorswho followed him were not all good rulersbut they helped the Roman Empire reach itspeak For centuries the Mediterraneanregion had been filled with conflict UnderAugustus and his successors the region wasunder the control of one empire A long eraof peace began with Augustus and lasteduntil AD 180 It was called the Pax Romana(pahks rohbullMAHbullnah) or ldquoRoman Peacerdquo

What Did Augustus Achieve Uponbecoming emperor in 27 BC Augustus setout to make the empire strong and safe Toprovide security he built a permanent professional army of about 150000 menmdashall Roman citizens Augustus also created aspecial unit called the Praetorian Guard

This force consisted of about 9000 men incharge of guarding the emperor ThePraetorian Guard later became very influ-ential in Roman politics

Augustusrsquos legions conquered new ter-ritories and added vast stretches of north-ern Europe to the empire All of Spain and Gaul came under Roman rule as didland in what is today Austria HungaryRomania and Bulgaria

Meanwhile Augustus rebuilt Rome withstately palaces fountains and splendid pub-lic buildings ldquoI found Rome a city of brickrdquohe boasted ldquoand left it a city of marblerdquo Thearts flourished as never before and Augustusalso imported grain from Africa to feed thepoor He knew that a well-fed populationwould be less likely to cause trouble

Augustus devoted much of his energy toimproving Romersquos government During hisreign more than 50 million people lived inthe Roman Empire To rule this huge popu-lation Augustus appointed a proconsul orgovernor for each of Romersquos provincesThese new officials replaced the politicianswho had been chosen by the SenateAugustus often traveled to the provinces tosee how the governors were doing

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

Augustus also reformed the Roman taxsystem Previously individual tax collectorspaid the government for the right to do thejob To make their investment worthwhiletax collectors were allowed to keep some ofthe money they gathered Many of themhowever were dishonest and took too muchAugustus solved this problem by makingtax collectors permanent government work-ers This change made the tax system fairer

Augustus also reformed the legalsystem He created a set of laws forpeople in the provinces who werenot citizens As time passed how-ever most of these people gained cit-izenship The laws of Rome thenapplied to everyone although thelegal system generally stressed theauthority of the government overthe rights of the individual

Who Came After AugustusAfter ruling for almost 40 yearsAugustus died in AD 14 No lawstated how the next emperor was to be chosen Augustus howeverhad trained a relative Tiberius to follow him The next three emperorsmdashCaligula(kuh bullLIH bullgyuh bullluh) Claudius and Nero (NEE bullroh)mdashalso came from Augustusrsquosfamily They are called the Julio-Claudian emperors Unfortunatelythey were not all fit to leadTiberius and Claudius ruled capa-bly Caligula and Nero howeverproved to be cruel leaders

Mental illness caused Caligulato act strangely and to treat peoplecruelly He had many people mur-dered wasted a lot of money andeven gave his favorite horse theposition of consul Eventually thePraetorian Guard killed him andput Claudius on the throne

Nero was also a vicious man Amongthose he had killed were his mother and twowives He is best remembered for havingldquofiddled while Rome burnedrdquo According tolegend he was playing music miles fromRome when a fire destroyed much of the cityin AD 64 Eventually he committed suicide

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

small Italian town southeast of Rome During his

youth Octavian suffered a number of illnesses He refused

to let his illnesses interfere with his life however showing

the determination that would later make him Romersquos first

emperor

Octavianrsquos father was a Roman senator but it was

Octavianrsquos great-unclemdashJulius Caesarmdashwho first

introduced Octavian to public life in Rome In his late

teens Octavian joined Caesar in Africa and then the

following year in Spain At the age of 18 while Octavian

was studying at school he learned that his great-uncle

had been murdered In his will Caesar had adopted

Octavian as his son Caesar had also made Octavian his

heirmdasha position that Antony had assumed would be

his Against his familyrsquos advice Octavian went to Rome

to claim his inheritance By the time he reached Rome

however Antony had seized Caesarrsquos papers and

money and refused to give them to OctavianWith

remarkable political savvy for someone so young

Octavian turned the situation around in his favor He

won the hearts of Caesarrsquos soldiers and the

people of Rome by celebrating the public games

that Caesar had started

In his rise to power and during his reign as

Emperor Augustus Octavian pushed himself and

his loyal followers with relentless energy In his

private life however he lived

simply and quietly and shunned

personal luxury He was devoted

to his wife Livia Drusilla and

spent his spare time with her at

their home on the outskirts of

Rome

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld

The ldquoGood Emperorsrdquo At the beginningof the AD 100s a series of rulers who werenot related to Augustus or Vespasian cameto power These five emperorsmdashNervaTrajan Hadrian (HAY bulldree bulluhn) AntoninusPius and Marcus Aureliusmdashare known asthe ldquogood emperorsrdquo They presided overnearly a century of prosperity from AD 96to AD 180 Agriculture flourished tradeincreased and the standard of living rose

During this time the emperor came toovershadow the Senate more than everbefore The five ldquogood emperorsrdquo did notabuse their power however They wereamong the most devoted and capable rulersin Romersquos history They improved Romanlife in many ways naming trained officialsto carry out their orders

Among the achievements of theseemperors were programs to help ordinarypeople Trajan gave money to help poorparents raise and educate their childrenHadrian made Roman law easier to under-stand and apply Antoninus Piuspassed laws to help orphans All theemperors supported public build-ing projects They built arches andmonuments bridges and roadsand harbors and aqueducts Anaqueduct (A bull kwuh bull DUHKT) is ahuman-made channel for carryingwater long distances

A Unified Empire Later emperorscontinued to conquer new territoryfor Rome The empire reached itslargest size under Trajan It spreadwell beyond the Mediterraneanincluding Britain in the north andpart of Mesopotamia in the east

Trajanrsquos successors however realizedthat the empire had grown too big to ruleeffectively Hadrian began to pull back Heremoved troops from most of Mesopotamia

Roman Aqueducts Transportingwater is a complex problem Romanengineers solved it by buildingaqueducts Roman aqueducts carriedwater across a valley or hillside usinggravity aboveground stone arches andunderground pipes made of stone orclay Between 312 BC and AD 22611 aqueducts were built to bring waterto Rome from as far away as 57 milesOnce the water made it to Rome itwas held in collecting tanks Mostpeople gathered water from thesepublic tanks Only the rich and high-ranking officials had private watertanks in their homes

Many Roman aqueducts still standand are used today Engineers in ancient

Persia India andEgypt built similarwater systemshundreds of yearsbefore theRomans Howeverhistorians agreethat the Romanswere the greatestaqueduct buildersof the ancientworld
