Today In western Civilization class we went over the Rome-Rome-Rome lyrics to find out what they really meant. The Etruscans, Greeks, and Latins were the people who settled Rome. The Latins were the first to settle, and they were descendants of the Indo-Europeans. Settled on the banks of the Tiber River. 7 Hills of Rome- Part of their Mythology- Remus wanted Rome to be found on the Hill Aventine, But Romelus wanted it to be founded on Palatine, and that is where it was founded. Tarquin the Proud's grandfather built the Cloaca Maxima which was the largest ancient drain and it channeled into the Tiber River. Lucius Tarquinias Superbus was the seventh and final king of Rome. He was known as Tarquin the Proud and was a true tyrant. Tarquin's son Sextus raped a highly respected woman and that was when the people had enough and they drove Tarquin and his family out of town.
