Today in Western Civ, we took notes on Ancient Rome. We learned about the Etruscans,  the Greeks, and the Latin's. The Etruscans came from the north central part of the peninsula. They were metalworkers, artists, and architects. They also had two foundation myths: Virgil's Aeneid and the great story of Remus and Romulus. The Greeks had many colonies around the Mediterranean Sea. They also borrowed many ideas from them, such as religious beliefs, the alphabet, much of their art, and military techniques.
