Overview of Roman Republic

Main Idea 1: Disorder in the Roman Republic created an opportunity for Julius Caesar to gain power. Many people became unhappy and were unemployed when chaos emerged in Rome’s government. People rioted in the streets, while people from around the republic flooded the city. An orator and philosopher named Cicero called for change but was unsuccessful. He wanted to limit the power of generals and restore checks and balances on government

Julius Caesar rose to power and became the sole ruler of Rome. Caesar, a very powerful general, formed a partnership with Pompey and Crassus. The three ruled Rome for about 10 years. Because Caesar was so popular, Pompey became jealous. This sparked a war between them that ended in Pompey’s death.

Rise and Fall of Caesar Caesar named himself dictator. Many people resented the way Caesar gained power. Senators did not like that he reduced their power. A group of senators led by Brutus killed Caesar because they feared him becoming king.

Main Idea 2: The republic ended when Augustus became Rome’s first emperor.Augustus became Rome’s first emperor. Upon the death of Julius Caesar, Marc Antony and Octavian took over Roman rule. Marc Antony and Octavian avenged Caesar’s death by attacking his killers. Caesar’s murderers were either killed or killed themselves.

Octavian and Cleopatra Octavian returned to Italy. Antony married Cleopatra after divorcing Octavian’s sister. The divorce led to a civil war between Antony and Octavian. Antony and Cleopatra killed themselves, making Augustus (formerly called Octavian) the sole ruler. This marked the beginning of the Roman Empire.

Main Idea 4: The Romans accomplished great things in science, engineering, architecture, art, literature, and law. Romans made lasting achievements in science, engineering, architecture, and art. Rome’s literary and legal-system influences are still found in today’s world.

The Romans tried to find knowledge that could improve their lives. Medicine Calendars Better farming methods Their practical approach to engineering can be seen in their use of cement, layered roads, and arches. Arches support much heavier weight because of their rounded shape. Science and Engineering The Romans created aqueducts to carry water from the mountains to the cities. They combined arches to form a vault, a set of arches that supports the roof of a building.

Roman Architecture and Art  Roman architecture was based largely on older Greek designs, such as columns and the use of marble.  They moved beyond the Greeks with their use of vaults, which were used in the Colosseum, and domes.  They could build much larger structures than the Greeks did because of these vaults.  Artists were known for mosaics, paintings, and statues.  Mosaics and painting were used to decorate buildings.  Most Roman paintings were frescoes, a type of painting done on plaster.  Romans tried to re-create Greek statues.

Art  The artists of the Roman Empire were known for their mosaics and paintings, done mostly on wet plaster and called frescoes.  They were also skilled at creating portraits, or pictures of people.  Roman sculptors were also talented, but they mostly copied statues from older Greek works.  These copies helped provide information about Greek masterpieces, however.

Roman Literature and Language  Rome was home to many of the greatest authors of the ancient world, such as Virgil and Ovid.  Romans excelled at mythology, histories, speeches, and drama.  Writers used Latin, the language of Rome.  Latin developed into many different languages, called the Romance languages.  Latin words are still common in scientific and legal terms and in mottoes.

Roman law serves as a model for modern law codes around the world.  Roman law was enforced throughout Europe and still existed after the empire fell apart.  Roman law inspired a system called civil law, which is a legal system based on written codes of law.  Most European countries today have civil-law traditions.
