=//__THE ANCIENT RECORD - ROME UNCOVERED__// //Ancient Rome, around 616-509 BCE was a very difficult place to live for many people. There were two types of people, which many of the people today haven't heard of. One was considered rich and an important person. The other was considered poor and pitiful. They were called Patricians and Plebeians. They had very speficic roles to help where they lived. Eventually in 509 BCE, a group of Roman nobles were fed up with their Etruscan king, Tarquin. He wasn't giving them the respect and dedication they deserved. Leading patrician families among the Roman took power and ruled as members of the Senate[Government]. Without a king, Rome had become a republic. A republic is a democratic society that evolves around voting. The Senate, or council of elders, had long been accustumed to watching developments and advising the king at his request, and now the Senate was ready to serve as the supreme decision making place for the government. What the Senate created would develop into a model in some regards for those founding the United States of America.//=
