- This video is a special Epilogue to Chapter 2 of our series. It covers the origins of Rome, from a small Latin settlement, to the Roman Kingdom under its Seven Legendary Kings. It then goes through the early Roman Republic until the Sack of Rome and its rebirth in the early 300s BCE.
The Roman Kingdom (also referred to as the Roman monarchy, or the regal period of ancient Rome) was the earliest period of Roman history when the city and its territory were ruled by kings. According to oral accounts, the Roman Kingdom began with the city's founding c. 753 BC, with settlements around the Palatine Hill along the river Tiber in central Italy, and ended with the overthrow of the kings and the establishment of the Republic c. 509 BC.
The Roman Republic was a state of the classical Roman civilization, run through public representation of the Roman people. Beginning with the overthrow of the Roman Kingdom (traditionally dated to 509 BC) and ending in 27 BC with the establishment of the Roman Empire, Rome's control rapidly expanded during this period-from the city's immediate surroundings to hegemony over the entire Mediterranean world.
Roman society under the Republic was primarily a cultural mix of Latin and Etruscan societies, as well as of Sabine, Oscan, and Greek cultural elements, which is especially visible in the Roman Pantheon. Its political organization developed, at around the same time as direct democracy in Ancient Greece, with collective and annual magistracies, overseen by a senate. The top magistrates were the two consuls, who had an extensive range of executive, legislative, judicial, military, and religious powers. Even though a small number of powerful families (called gentes) monopolised the main magistracies, the Roman Republic is generally considered one of the earliest examples of representative democracy. Roman institutions underwent considerable changes throughout the Republic to adapt to the difficulties it faced, such as the creation of promagistracies to rule its conquered provinces, or the composition of the senate.
Unlike the Pax Romana of the Roman Empire, the Republic was in a state of quasi-perpetual war throughout its existence. Its first enemies were its Latin and Etruscan neighbours as well as the Gauls, who even sacked the city in 387 BC. The Republic nonetheless demonstrated extreme resilience and always managed to overcome its losses, however catastrophic.
Little is certain about the kingdom's history as no records and few inscriptions from the time of the kings survive. The accounts of this period written during the Republic and the Empire are thought largely to be based on oral tradition.

The Roman Monarchy is pretty hazy compared to the Roman Republic and Empire. Thank you for shedding light on this.
True. It's funny too, cause the Empire would've been another Monarchy but, it never got off the ground due to how the succession was often jostled more often than not).
Im not a history fan at all. I'm studying humanities for my nursing degree. I came here to better understand my lectures. All i have to say is WOW. Im sharing this with my classmates 😺
Thank you for your service to history. Now I'm going to get into some more of your videos.❤
Glad it was helpful!
Bce ce bs is a sign that you are atheist and don’t believe in god I feel for you #madeinhistory you will see the locked gates of heaven as a atheist
When you are done here, if you get bitten by the history bug, check out Dan Davis History.
He deal with a bit older history, much about Stone Age and Bronze Age Europe. Super fascinating!
How does studying humanities help with being a nurse ?
@@pepelopez8912 and now you see the problem with modern University. They make people take irrelevant classes that have nothing to do with their career
Love Roman history and it’s mythology. I vacationed in Roma in June years ago. Loved it..
I don't know why but I thought you said vaccinated in Roma. Just my weird brain lol.
The ai narator takes all the pleasure of watching this. Pay real people to narate
Really good stuff!! Excellent video!
Hi, I found you while I was making research about UA-cam (how the algorithm works and that kind of stuff). I skimmed through your videos and what I can say is: Wow.
Your stuff is good, I can see you put a lot effort making all this. And then I was wondering... why are you not blowing up? Honestly I have no idea. All I can tell you is... keep going. The quality is there and it is engaging for those who like history. It feels unfair how underrated you are.
Someone told you 2 months ago the narration is uncanny. That's not true. That person was nitpicking. I think the voice is great and you should keep it.
Be strong man.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment!
Totally agree with you here! I am so perplexed as to how this channel hasn’t blown up! This is great stuff!
WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE! ❤
This is the most detailed and information packed 25 minutes about Rome itself that I have found !!! Totally fantastic is all I can say! Brilliant job and brilliant channel!!So glad I subbed !
😂
😅😂
A great documentary about Ancient Rome. I love to study the history of Rome.
The Sabines seemed to be a big player in the early Monarchy.Also good that the Etruscans were also involved in the early forming of Rome.
That's true, infact as per the history books the Greeks invented sex the Romans introduced women

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. I have watched almost all your videos.
Good job Man. I can't believe is only 566 views. I hope you will grow fast. I love this kind of videos when I'm stoned hehe Thanks.
Felt in love with this channel
Fascinating! I learned so much from this!
good job, very well done. keep up the good work
Man you deserve way more subs
No, Rome started with 700 food, 500 stone, 500 wood and 250 gold, 5 villagers, and a town center. 😂😂😂😂😂
This needs more likes.
What game is that?
Epic comment!
Hehehe
🤣🤣🤣🤣👏
A fabulous historical account. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MadeInHistorythanks 🍻
Just so you know “Lupa” literally means “she wolf” in Latin. So “lupa” is not the name of a wolf, it’s just a female wolf.
In Rome a she-wolf/lupa is also how they described prostitutes .. so romulus and remus were rescued by a hooker not an actual wolf
@@adidnac nah, it was an actual wolf
Is it possible they derived the word for “she wolf” after the founding story was already legend?
@@2200Stinger No. The reason is that, unlike English, Latin is a gender language, it has three genders to be exact (masculine, feminine and neuter). Nouns for animals have a masculine and feminine form just like in the Romance languages. Male wolf = lupus, female wolf= lupa. Meaning Old Latin was already like this before the story of the capitoline wolf. “Lupa capitolina” means literally “capitoline she-wolf” or “the capitoline she-wolf”. Notice how “capitolina” is also in the feminine form to agree with the “lupa”. The concept of gendered nouns can be hard to understand for people who aren’t familiar with gendered languages.
@@adidnac interesting I never heard of this before. More plausible than being raised by a wolf
Fascinating account of the action.
Thank you for this very informative video
Glad it was helpful!
How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

Well said 💛
Or are we just repeating history?
Not really.
Roman Monarchy, to a Republic, to an Empire (which sorta was a Monarchy in practice but never managed to properly get it off the ground)
Don't deny yourself,you are very kind,very gentle,especially worthwhile.
19:45 Nice "Rome: Total War" game footage.
Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.
Anyone know the name of the music @16:45?
Interesting but you didn't get Romolus vs Remus fight right! Romolus was sowing the soil to create the perimeter of his city, as it was a sacred ritual ceremony of the foundation of a city but Remus jumped that groove to disrespect his brother's city so Romolus was forced to kill him to punish him.
Interesting
Reminds me of Cain and Abel.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.

I love history! I always have. I always got my best grades in school in history and English 😅.
This was very good video. Thanks for clarifying a few things. Especially when and where it started. The only connection I've really had to ancient Rome is the Bible which made me wonder about Rome
Escapees from Troy Aennes & Paris carrying King Hittite sword,the one with three holes at the base,sailed to rivermouth of Tiber established settlement by Tiber river bank.My personal belongings,Achaean Tongue-like sword has two holes at the base.
🇮🇹The oldest settlements of what would later become Rome date back to a very remote era, even to Neanderthal man. The oldest appears to be in the Valchetta area, with human remains from 65,000 years ago, another in via di Torre Spaccata from 60,000 years ago.
We move on to the Iron Age with the arrival of the Latins of Indo-European lineage, therefore non-native, first a Latin-Faliscan group and then an Umbrian-Sabello group. Those same Latins who met Aeneas, according to tradition, when, fleeing from Troy, he landed in Lazio. Rome was formed with the fusion of many different people, because where different civilizations converge there is an exchange that amplifies knowledge.
No civilization can boast a mass of people and races like Rome, a point of connection between West and East, also because it stretched out both on the river and the sea. In ancient times the land was covered with forests and dangerous for wild animals, navigation from coast to coast, or by river, was the least dangerous way to travel.
The Falisci occupied the Tiber valley, between the Cimini and Sabatini mountains, while the Latins occupied Latium vetus, ancient Lazio, which went from the right bank of the Tiber to the Alban Hills, bordering the Etruscans north of the Tiber. The Volscians, and partly the Hernici, instead occupied the south of Lazio; the Aurunci, and a little of the Rutuli, the Lazio Campanian coast; the Sabines the Apennine area to the north, the Equi to the east. It is probable that those of the Hellespont in Asia Minor (now Turkey) contributed to the union of cultures, when around 1100 BC, Troy fell and the survivors took refuge in Lazio.
Excavations at the Forum Boarium have discovered Greek ceramics from the 8th century BC which already demonstrate commercial relations with the Hellenic colonies at the time.
The huts of the Palatine, of which there are numerous traces, had a shape between rectangular and elliptical, very similar to those of the hut urns of the same period, found in the archaic burial ground of the Forum, which were used to contain the ashes of the deceased and they imitated the house where he had lived.
The large holes along the edge and in the center were used to house the roof support poles, while smaller holes on both sides of the doorway were to support a particular, light covering in front of the door itself.
Next to the central hole the traces of the hearth were very clear.
Their dating is from the 8th century BC, which fully corresponds to the date of the foundation of Rome; moreover, the remains of a palace have recently been found.
The prehistoric tombs next to the foundations of the disappeared Arch of Augustus, in the Roman Forum, are also evidence of these settlements, a culture similar to the proto-Villanovan one, with vases without decorations, probably from the 1st millennium BC, in the Bronze Age. A necropolis necessarily derives from a village of permanent homes.
The defense of Rome, until its construction in the 6th century. BC, of the Servian walls, was based on the aggregation of Etruscans, Latins, Sabines who inhabited the hills around the Palatine, the central nucleus of the city, but each hill provided for its own military defense, entrusted more to men than to fortifications. However, the hills had bristling wooden palisades, ditches and embankments between Porta Collina and the Esquiline, for a length of about 7 km (60 stadia).
It can be deduced that the predominant population were Latins, but that there were actually also the Trojans of legend, because Troy was not a legend, and in fact its survivors had to seek refuge on the shores of the Mediterranean, and where else if not in an already multi-ethnic territory for which not affected by xenophobia?
The ancient Roman tribes were social groupings into which the Romans were divided on a noble basis (gens), which derived from kinship relationships between different familiae that constituted a gens, and from the relationship of the gens with the same territory, and which in the royal era they transformed into territorial subdivisions.
According to tradition, they were established by Romulus and there were three:
- the Ramnes (from Romulus of Latin origin), i.e. the native Roman families, led by the Latins and settled in the flat areas;
- the Tities (or Titienses from Titus Tatius the Sabine king), i.e. the Sabine families who came following Titus Tatius;
- the Luceres (from Lucumon or Lygmon of Etruscan origin), who according to Tito Livio were of uncertain origin; according to others they were the inhabitants of the wooded areas in the surroundings of Rome (from the Latin lucus, "forest"), mainly indigenous; but according to others, and this seems to be the most reliable version, they were of Etruscan origin led by a Lucumone ("king"), from whom they took their name (or from the king of Ardea, Lucero).
The Romans were therefore born from the integration of three peoples: Latins, Sabines and Etruscans, made up of around a hundred original gentes. At the head of each tribe there was a tribunus, and each tribe was divided into ten curiae, so in total thirty curiae. From here the Assemblies of the people by curia (Comitia Populi Curiata) were formed, called Comizi curiati which were the first Roman assembly.
Tito Livio adds that augurs belonging to the tribes of Ramnes, Titienses, Luceres were named, so that they were odd (for a majority in case of non-unique interpretations) and that each had an equal number. Here too, since there were three, it was possible to decide by majority in the event of divergent verdicts.
After Romulus who divided the population of square Rome into three tribes, king Servius Tullius in the 6th century BC divided the people into five classes, according to census (set of goods and incomes), and into centuries (of about a hundred components). Thus four urban tribes were established, of those who had land holdings in the area, which excluded the plebs.
From the initial three tribes of Romulus, according to tradition, we moved on to the pages of Numa Pompilius, and to the 20 tribes of Servius Tullius. Under the Tarquins the Roman territory was divided into twenty-six regions or pagi (from pagus, village). With the end of the monarchy, seven regions were abandoned by the Etruscans, so much so that at the beginning of the new republican phase there were nineteen regions, including the four urban ones.
From 495 BC the tribal organization has twenty-one tribes, made up of the 4 urban Servian tribes (Collina, Esquilina, Palatina and Suburana) and the 17 rustic ones (Camilla, etc.), with the two new tribes of Claudia and Clustumina or Crustumina.
Free and older Roman males were registered in the electoral districts (tribus) for the place where they owned the largest amount of land. The propertyless males (i.e. the majority of residents in Rome) who were older, free and male, were enrolled in one of the urban tribes.
The tribes all bear the names of patrician families, indicating the territories in which those gentes had possessions subsequently distributed among the plebeians, or the territories bordering the possessions of each. From 513 BC to 241 BC, i.e. from the last year of the First Punic War, there were 35 tribes....
This might be the longest comment I have ever seen on the Internet.
@@quetzalcoatlzagreed
It’s an a amazing story of how western civilization arose. You all must read Tito Livio.
Wow.A whole encyclopedia there,thanks.Yes,Latins,Etruscans & Sabines are mainly the early founders. Where did they get their amazing mathematical skills,discipline & order?
Yep…I didn’t read the comment.
What movie is this 20:30?
How do I find the next chapter about the age of Alexander????
It should be on the homepage in the Section for this series!
Can anyone help identify the location from the still frame at 17:42 . It looks like a fully preserved town
Firstly, there is no still frame at that time but it shows the Roman Forum. However, immediately afterwards an imagined Alexandria is shown. You can tell it is Alexandria from the famous lighthouse.
Sometimes things work out just the way you want, sometimes they don't, you gotta hang in there.
What is the film in the video ?
Wondering as well. I noiced the Rome tv series. And the Rome tw game. But I'm wondering about the scenes with Brennus and his sack of Rome.
It a legend that after the fall of Troy that some their descandants ran to hills of pre Rome. Greece and Seleucid Empires were great influences.
Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live.
Perfect climate and location
Spoiler Alert!!! it wasnt built in a day...
Shhhhhh!!!
😂
What movie does he use in this?
This is why Rome and the Romans, and Italians, are special. Rome is the only case, probably ever, of an empire that was built and developed out of a village. They really have to be special people.
Every single empire started as a village...
Firstly, modern Italians aren't the same people as ancient Romans.
Those are two completelly different ethnic groups and cultures.
Secondly, every empire or superpower in the history of the world at some point had to start from somewhere, which obviously was any type of settlement or a village. Rome isn't at all special in this regard.
But do dey season dey food?
Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
Hell yeah Roman Empire
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
What I took away from this is that Rome was very nearly called Ream. 😮
incorrect, it started with a warrior and settler unit in 4000 BCE
Fun fact: my hometown of Rome, GA has a statue of Romulus and Remus suckling the she-wolf in front of the courthouse. It was donated by Mussolini prior to world war 2 because of the shared name. Rome, GA was founded by European Settlers and name Rome because its on 7 hills interlaced by rivers, just like Rome, Italy.

You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path.
Now we know where the term "pleb" comes from.
The more you know...
That's what came into my mind, eg plebiscite
Romulus did not name the city after himself. If he did the name of the city would have been Romola. He named it after his brother Rhoemus, the spelling is a mystery to me, so somehow it’s Roma.
From ancient Greek texts ,Rome written as Ρώμη ,a greek word means power ,strength.
Or maybe just maybe, its a legend and the name evolves throughout time. Its not hard

You have to believe in yourself . That's the secret of success.
I suspect that mining (mining of a form of building stone, soft to cut but then it goes hard when exposed to the air, and volcanic dust for Roman concrete) was more important to the early economy of Rome than is often thought.
What type of mined stone are you referring to? Thanks
@@olin777 Common Roman building stone. But one must also remember the volcanic dust the Romans used for concrete.
@@paulvmarksRoman concrete wasn’t invented until 500 years after Rome was founded…
@@BBeowulf But the building stone was there.
You should not wait for other people to choose for you,You should take the initiative to choose what you want.
There's these twins called Romulus and Remus and they were raised by a wolf or or something and then they founded Rome
It started as all civilizations, with a town center, 3 villagers and a scout
and a few cattle rustlers and some hookers and other assorted local low-lifes but the Greek and Phoenician traders really liked the sleazy vibes of the place so this is where they came to buy their cattle hides and soon it became the go-to place in this region to make all kinds of deals and to buy copper from Etruria to the north and olive oil in amphorae from the south and salt from the salt-ponds in the coastal marshes nearby and it became a good place for craftsmen from all over to locate and just kept going from there.
Honey, I thought about the Roman Empire today.
Rome was a village when Athens was a metropolis
It's fascinating to think about what would happen if Alexander didn't die, continued his conquest and set his sights on west this time.
These events narrated are direct mirrors of those described in the Bible. All events were nearly identical even down to the "order" in which the authors suggest it happened. Also, the stories of Hammurabi, Moses, and Roman leaders are more or less exact
"made in history, but also mythology.."
You could make a comedy out of this story "Take that I just saw 12 birds, count them 12 motherufcking birds bra"
Rome started with 1 town center. 8 berry bushes. Couple piles of stone and gold. A few strangler trees and 3 villagers- having a couple bits of food, lumber and money.
It was difficult for Mary to admit that most of her workout consisted of exercising poor judgment.
Etruscan are pellazget and the writing was theirs didn’t adapt from geeks because that time wasn’t any Greeks used to call Helen but even them are pellazg. Today Greeks adopted the pellazg language to still the history
What would our world today be like if Rome wasn't able to influence what follows?
Honestly, I shudder to think....

It’s a calendar convention that we use.
Damn, Italy should have Romulus or a wolf 🐺 or some freaking birds 🐦 on it’s flag. Like the founding city of Rome like the 🇲🇽 Mexican flag.
In the “Myth of Rome” how did it become discovered that the twin princely boys who were left for dead and nursed by a wolf, then found by and raised by an anonymous shepherd, were actually the grandsons of the disposed king?
Also, the story goes that Remus and Romulus got into a lethal fight over who had saw more birds in the sky as a sign vs. who saw a lessor amount birds, but saw them first! So Romulus killed his twin brother Remus, but had it been the other way around would Rome have been called Reme instead?
Just asking for a friend…
