- came from north-central part of the peninsula
- metal workers, artists, architects
Two foundation myths
- Virgil Aeneid
( where Aeneas escapes from Troy)
- The story of Remus and Romulus
Greeks
- They had many colonies around the Mediterranean sea
- Romans borrowed ideas from them, such as:
- religious beliefs
- alphabet
- much of their art
- military techniques and weaponry
Latins
- descendants of Indo - Europeans
Indo means people lived as far as India
Europeans means people lived all around the country of Europe

Remus wanted Aventine
Romolous chose Palatine
They drained a swamp
- many dreams flowed into the Tiber River
- there was a marshy area called the Forum between Palatine and Capitollne Hills
