Slide 1: My project is on Ancient Civilizations in Italy. My presentation will focus on Italy during the Roman Empire, the Reformation, and the Renaissance.
Slide 2: My presentation will begin by talking about Ancient Rome.
Slide 3: Romulus and Remus are the founders of Rome. They are the twin sons of Mars who is the god of war. As babies a king left put them in a basket and sent them down the Tiber River. A she-wolf found them and raised the twins as her own. Once they got older the boys crushed the king who left them in the basket. Romulus and Remus decided to form Rome near the Tiber River. Soon after founding the city, Romulus killed Remus to become Rome’s first king.
Slide 4: Before becoming the Roman Empire, Rome was a tiny city surrounded by seven hills. These hills helped protect the Romans when they were fighting enemies. Rome was also located near volcanoes which made the soil fertile. The fertile soil helped the Romans grow crops to feed their families.

The war was Caesar’s supporters against the supporters of Caesar’s assassinators. Caesar’s supporters won the war. After some time, Caesar’s adopted son Octavian became the sole ruler of Rome. Octavian changed his name to Augustus. He became the first emperor of Rome.
Slide 12: The Roman Empire lasted from 27 BC to 476 AD. The fall of this empire was due to many political, economic, and social reasons. The Roman empire had many corrupt leaders who did not know how to run a successful empire. The economy was suffering because of taxes and the large gap between poor and wealthy people. The people of Rome were suffering from lack of food. The Roman citizens also loss trust in their rulers.
Slide 13: Before Rome was the Roman Empire it was the Roman Kingdom and the Roman Republic. As an empire Rome was one of the largest and most powerful empires in history. The Roman Empire fell because of political, social, and economic
The Roman Empire fell of multiple reasons. Some say it was because leaders were corrupted or it was economic issues. The reasons that will be talked about further on are, surrounding cities invaded Rome, Christianity spread, and their borders became to hard to control.
While the fall of the Roman Empire is well known, the exact causes of why it fell can be difficult to pinpoint. Many historians believe that Rome 's downfall was due to poor leadership, weakened economics, or perhaps a combination of the two along with other seemingly unrelated factors. However, there is a string of evidence suggesting that there were three main components that took place to bring about the fall of the Roman Empire. These determinant attributes did not happen all at once, and there was a domino effect with each one directly influencing the others. The fall of Rome occurred after a series of preventable events, including unacceptable emperors, the heavy reliance on slaves, and the increasingly uncontrollable borders of Rome.
The Roman Empire was one of the most impregnable empires at it’s time. It conquered the Mediterranean Sea and was a well organized and blooming empire, at first. Many problems began to hit Rome straight in the face, three of the main problems that ended this magnificent empire were the economic problems, the weakness and vulnerability of their army, and the fallibility of the leaders and politics.
The Roman Empire began when Julius Caesar became one of the leaders to reign and conquer Rome. Rome was commonly referred to as “the eternal city.” Rome had a total of 19 emperors from 235 to 285 CE. Those 19 emperors might have caused the fall of Rome to happen. The decline of Rome, or the “fall” of Rome, was due to economic problems, Roman emperors, and natural disasters and disease.
Over the course of several centuries, Rome built one of the largest empires the world have ever known. Rome for a period of time was considered the center of civilization. The empire was beautiful. It was often invaded but well protected by a powerful army. Some people believed the empire would last forever.
The Roman Empire was without a doubt the most powerful governing body in its day, but it had fallen! There was not any single cause for the fall of Rome. Many things occurred in a short period of time, which lead to the fall of such a powerful empire. Why did Rome fall? Some of the reasons that caused the fall of Rome was Natural disasters, a weak military, and the collapse of their economy.
Then, in 27 B.C.E, Rome became an empire, but emperor idea only lasted for 50 years. After that, the Roman Empire turned into a dictatorship and then to a sluggish place with no motivation. In the end, the Roman Empire was conquered easily because of the lack of energy and spirit and also because of their major problems with natural disasters. Military problems and natural
Rome was one of the strongest and the greatest Empire, but why did it fall? Rome was found about the time of 700 BCE, and started to expand over its border as Greeks were weakening. In 44 BCE, Julius Caesar became the emperor as he gained political power and shifted to an empire where it is ruled by an emperor and the military that led to dictatorship. By 27 BCE, Pax Romana began. During 200 CE, it was the peak when the Roman terrorists became more common.
The Roman Empire was a vast territory that expanded to three different continents.They were a place of honor, tradition, and respect. Rome has had several different periods, some of peace, and some of violence or unrest, but those were solved quickly and effectively. However, such a magnificent empire could not hold up under the strains that were slowly causing it to collapse. Rome began to face many problems that together allowed the fall of the Roman Empire. The three main problems that caused Rome to fall were invasions by barbarians, an unstable government, and pure laziness and negligence.
According to legend, Remus and Romulus founded Rome in 753 B.C.E. Rome was then ruled by seven kings, two of which were Etruscans. Historians agree that this was most likely true. The Etruscans were a people who lived to Rome’s north and had a great influence on the Romans. Rome developed into a city under the Etruscans’ influence. The Etruscans built streets, markets, temples, houses, and shops in Rome. But in 509 B.C.E., the monarchy was overthrown and replaced by a republican government. Rome then extended into the valleys between the seven hills it was located on and built the Servian Wall to protect the city.
The origins of Rome originate back when Romulus first brought his people to Italy after the burning of Troy. Romulus quickly built a wall around the city for protection, while he defeated his partner Remus for control of the city. Therefore, the city is named after Romulus (Rome). Rome quickly developed to great lengths with every defeat over
The Roman Empire has long since grown to a powerhouse, but there strength brought Rome to it’s knees. When Rome began at 27 B.C., it was a little village just barely surviving and becoming to grow and become a powerhouse. Of the many reasons why Rome fell, weak leadership and economic problems plus corruption were very important, however, it was military weakness that brought the empire down.
Ancient Rome was founded in 735 B.C by the sons of war god Mars Romulus and Remus. Rome was named after Romulus, as he won the battle against his brother Remus and killed him. Rome wasn’t only named after Romulus, but also after a girl named Roma. She traveled with Aeneas and survivors from Troy. At the burning of Trojan ships, she led the women and survived the people in those ships.
As most great things Rome started small. The great city of Rome was merely a village made up of a huts which the people called their home. As Rome emerged more in to a city a government was put into place. Rome was not
According to legend, Rome was founded in 753 BC by twin brothers Romulus and Remus on Palatine Hill, who fought till death for the territory resulting in Romulus winning; the reason Rome has its name this day. However, it 's known that Latins also lived in Rome around 1000 B.C and built Rome from nothing to huts on hills, and a land filled with cattle and growing crops. Sometime during 700 BC and 800 BC people banded together for protection. Eventually, other groups joined right along with the Latins such as the Greeks and Etruscans, who played major roles in shaping Rome. From the Greeks, Romans learned to grow olives
