Rome

Today in West Civ, we got our tests back, and started to take notes on Rome. I got a 93% on the test which is very good. For the question about which country wasn't a member of "Western Civilization"? I put United States, but the correct answer is China. Also circa means circa, about, and around. Also Greek city-states resembled counties, not states. I got all the others correct, I just have to remember the Aegean is in the middle, and Ionian is on the left side. Today, some of the notes we took today were about Rome. We learned about the myth Romulus and Remus and how they were raised by a wolf. Romulus was how Rome got its name. We also learned about how Rome was a combo of three governments, monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. The United States copied the Romans on that. I think tomorrow we are going to continue to take notes on the Romans.
