"Ancient Rome"
IntroductionIn this chapter, you have learned about the history and cultures of Europe. More than 2,000 years ago, Ancient Greece and Rome laid the foundations of European civilization. The Romans developed the ideas of a republic and a system of justice that still influence governments today. In fact, the founders of the United States used these ideas as a basis for the U.S. Constitution. Eventually, the Roman Republic’s system of democracy was replaced by all-powerful emperors who were sometimes brutal or incompetent rulers. Learn more about Ancient Rome by exploring this Web site.
