Rome Day 4

The first verse of Chi Cago's rap begins with the three groups that we see in the book. The Estruscans, Latins, and Greeks. In the book it's not said which group came first, other than prehistoric peoples, but just specifying who was on the Italian peninsula at the time. Chi Cago's rap claims that the Latins were the first and if we ignore the prehistoric peoples the book does not say if this is true or not. Knowing Chi Cago and his extensive knowledge on the history of these things, it's more than likely true. Tarquin is also mentioned in the book and just like the rap, the Romans booted him out and started their republic. Moving onto the second verse, we have what seems to be the definitions of Roman government and military. Once again, these match those in the book and are accurate. Moving to the third verse, we see what seems to be the start of the Roman civil wars. The common people got fed up with the patricians and started fighting back, first through government, then by force. Nothing is mentioned here about the private armies that Roman generals would form with common farmers by themselves. The fourth verse brings us to the time of Julius Caesar and when he ruled over Gaul then Rome. Along with the fifth verse all this info on Caesar matches that in the textbook and puts the history in the book to slang that the fellow kids will adore. The sixth verse describes other leaders that would come after Caesar and other important figures during these times. The information is presumed to be accurate as once again, it is written by Chi Cago and it matches that of the info in the book. The seventh and final verse brings us right up just before the beginning of the A.D. years. It describes in detail the state of the Roman Empire and events surrounding that of the region. And on one final note, Chi Cago informs us we now know all about Rome, for now at least.
