Romulus and Remus: Timed Reading. The early history of the city of Rome involves Romulus and Remus, two orphan boys who, legend says, were raised by a she-wolf. The boys' mother had been murdered by an evil king and the two babies tossed into the river Tiber. When the wolf found them they had washed up on the shore. She perhaps took pity on the crying of the babies and, gently picking them up in her teeth, she carried them back to her cave and fed them on her milk. The boys grew bigger and stronger and, eventually, were found by a herdsman who took them home. He and his wife raised the boys like their own children. They decided to build a city.

The first conspirator greeted Caesar, then plunged a knife into his neck. Other stabbers followed suit. One by one, several members of the Senate took turns stabbing Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.E.), the dictator of the entire Roman Empire.

ROME. The Etruscan monarchyThe king was assisted by a Senate, an assembly where only the noble families were represented. In this period Rome became a great city, where families from the centre of Italy emigrated.         Its settlers, the Romans, never willingly accepted the authority of the Etruscans. For this reason, Rome clashed with different Etruscan cities, which it defeated. The Romans threw out the Etruscan monarchs.        The republic: a period of conquests During the republic the citizens met in assemblies called comitia, to pass laws and to elect the different magistrates who were responsible for government. The Senate increased in importance: it advised the magistrates and decided on foreign policy. At this stage, Rome undertook the conquest of Italy and the territories of the Mediterranean.
