Chapter Summary: From a small village in central Italy, Rome gradually expanded its control over the entire Mediterranean region and much of Western Europe. For centuries Rome was ruled as a republic, but over time elected leaders were replaced by emperors. A republic is a form of government in which the leader is not a king and only certain citizens have the right to vote. The Latin language connected a vast empire and gave voice to Roman philosophy and political debate. As the Roman Empire grew to encompass a large part of Western Europe and western Asia, its superiority was kept through technology advancements in both civil engineering and military organization. The two main social groups in Roman societies were the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians were a social class of wealthy, powerful landowners, they also formed the ruling class in the Roman Empire. The plebeians were a social class made up of minor land holders, craftspeople, merchants, and small farmers. Roman history was categorized by two particularly important features: competition for power by a number of individuals and the civil wars caused by their conflicts. The first Triumvirate was formed by Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey. Triumvirates were forms of government with 3 leaders instead of one. Family Life was very important to the Romans.
