10. Orientation Toward the Sea Trade Navy Therefore: Eventually Rome was able to dominate the Mediterranean.

11. No Internal Physical Barriers There were mountains but they didn’t divide like in Greece Therefore: There was more unity than in Greece after the Romans (a tribe) began expanding and conquering other territories.

12. Agriculture Very fertile soil (due to volcanic ash) Good rivers Population growth meant that there still wasn’t enough land Need to import grain from Sicily and Egypt Therefore: Romans needed to conquer more territory in order to expand (military) Carthage potential enemy

13. The Alps These mountains separated Rome from the rest of Europe Po River was seen as a border dividing civilized Rome from northern “barbarians” Therefore: Rome felt protected by these mountains, possibly superior There were invasions, however

If one has broken a bone of a freeman with his hand or with a cudgel, let him pay a penalty of three hundred coins. If he has broken the bone of a slave, let him have one hundred and fifty coins. If one is guilty of insult, the penalty shall be twenty-five coins. Table XI.1. Marriages should not take place between plebeians and patricians. [Later struck down.] Oliver J.
