The tunic wars were a set of wars between Rome and Carthage between 264 to 146 BCE, There was a total three wars. The first punic war was from 264-241 BCE and was a naval battle fought for the island of Sicily, Rome took the dub in this battle. the second war was from 218 to 201 BCE and was when Hannibal almost gets to Rome by going over the Alps with elephants The final war was fought from 149 to 146 BCE and Rome finally crushed Carthage and destroyed their city.

In that time, tyrants seized power in a very harsh way. They would do whatever it took to become king, even if it meant having to assassinate people close to them. The king of Rome had a daughter who married Tarquin who wanted the power, So he assassinated his wife father to gain that power. This just shows how the kings back then didn't care about their people and only wanted power. This made the whole system rigged because one could seize power by killing everyone who stands in their way. After this occurred the Rome people saw a problem with their own government and ran the entire family out of Rome. Then they got rid of tyranny all together and made a government quite like the one we still use today, The people (plebs) eventually got power to made decisions. We based our government off there government but with some differences like our "bill of rights" was their "twelve tables" and we have 100 senators that serve terms they had 300 aristocratic members that

I really liked your song, The word placement and the way you made "apple bottom jeans" talk about Rome is very interesting. I personally most definitely could not do that by myself I wouldn't even know where to start. this would be cool to do again in the future.

before 451 b.c. Rome officials would take advantage of the fact that there were no official written laws. So in 451 b.c 10 officials began to write official laws down. These laws were written on 12 tables that were hung up in the forum for all the people to see. And these 12 tables became the base of roman law, and gave the people the idea that all citizens are protected under the law.
