Task 1: this worksheet is designed to allow you to understand the early period of Rome's history under the kings. Sort the information below into the Venn diagram.
Swamp land around the river Tiber drained. | Rome’s first sewers |
Rome’s city walls. | Creation of four new urban tribes (plus an unspecified number of rural ones). |
Five classes created based on wealth, each armed differently in battle. | Each class was divided into units of 100 men, called centuriae(‘centuries’) |
Men served in each centuria as either seniores (aged 46-60) or iuniores (aged 17-45). | Tax obligations were calculated based on wealth. |
The centuriae voted in the comitia centuriata (Century Assembly). Each centuriahad a single vote (wealthier classes had far more centuriae.) | Division of the patricians (nobles) and plebeians. Based solely on birth, not wealth. |
Task 2: Read through the events of Servius Tulles' reign and add any details onto the family tree that you learn about the characters. Be careful if more than one character share the same name!
