What Is Latium Originate?
Originating, according to Mary Barnett's book, from Latin towns, the peoples who became Romans had an interesting relationship with Latium over the course of their conquests. After much war with the Etruscans alongside the Greeks the Latin League was formed. And this league began to control Rome with its policies, but when they had to go protect themselves from other foreigners, Rome took some of its cities. This led to a peace treaty. Eventually, they went to war over expanding territory, putting the Latin league to an end, and incorporating it into the Roman Empire (Andre Bland).

The treaty system which was originally used with Latium however, based on a shared foreign policy and war supplements (Mary Barnett) was later used for many Italian

During this time, the were able to conquer Carthage and in return gained access into Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica.

Even through troubling times of the empire, it still managed to spread through Gaul,…

    In eighth to sixth century BCE Celtic Gaul’s culture began to emerge. Its surrounding neighbors, especially the Romans, saw their culture as barbaric. Gaul was separated into tribes led by chiefs. Life had been uncomfortable, agitating, and very divided between the tribes and its people. The Romans saw this division as an opportunity to take Gaul, and conquered it in the turning battle of Alesia in 52 BCE. The victory in this battle resulted in new Roman cities like Lugdunum (which is now Lyon) and Arles being established in Roman Gaul, and with these new cities came the influence of Roman politics and religion.…

    Rome was first established according to legend by two twins with the names of Romulus and Remus. According to legend, they were thrown in the Tiber river to drown. There uncle was fearful of what they would become. A mother wolf found them and took them in as her own. When they were older they came across what was going to be called Rome. Romulus killed Remus so that he could be, what they called an emperor later on, the first king of Rome. Rome’s geography played a key role in it becoming a huge and powerful empire.

    Somewhere between 900 and 800 BC, the Italian peninsula was settled by a mysterious peoples called the Etruscans. We don't know where the Etruscans came from, but archaeologists suspect that they came from the eastern Mediterannean, possibly Asia Minor. We will, however, never really know where they came from or why they colonized Italy. We do know that when they came to Italy, they brought civilization and urbanization with them. They founded their civilizations in north-eastern Italy between the Appenine mountain range and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Their civilization stretched from the Arno river in the north to the Tiber river towards the center of the Italian peninsula; it was on the Tiber river that a small village of Latins, the village that would become Rome, sat. So the Romans, who were only villagers during the rise of the Etruscan civilization, were in close contact with the Etruscans, their language, their ideas, their religion, and their civilization; the Etruscans were the single most important influence on Roman culture in its transition to civilization.…

    The Roman Empire reached its potential height in the 1st and 2nd Centuries AD, but it was not an easy path to get there. Centuries before Rome became the economic center of the world, it had a lot of land to gain and a lot of wars to fight. The largest, and probably most important wars, was called the Punic Wars, which was fought between Rome and Carthage. There was a series of three wars, lasting between 264 BCE until 146 BCE. The motives of these wars are complex, but essentially each city-state was determined to conquer the other in an attempt to gain territory for trade and economic expansion.…

    Geographically, Italy is comprised of a peninsula that extends into the Mediterranean Sea, as well as two large islands. The shape of Italy has been depicted as a ‘boot’ in many cartoons and drawings for years. The country covers over 116,000 square miles, making it approximately the combined size of Florida and Georgia. (Killinger, 2002) Italy is a democratic republic that has a current population of around 60 million people, making it the twenty-third most populous country in the world. Italy is a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the ‘Group of Six’, which later became the G8, and the European Union. ("Italy," 2010) Italians are primarily Roman Catholic and are required to have fourteen years of formal education. This has lead to a 98 percent literacy rate among the population that only has a growth rate of 0.02 percent per year, which is one of the lowest growth rates in the world. (Killinger, 2002)…

    However, more importantly in my opinion, the end of the war revealed that Italy lacked the diplomatically-savvy leaders because, as “the ruling coalition included many divergent points of view, her traditional system of government made this almost inevitable”.10 The public was confused about national interests and began to question whether the traditional system was really the best, be it the Liberals, the Socialists or the…

    Nazi Germany’s obvious political and military ally in Europe was Italy. The Italians had been governed by a fascist regime under Benito Mussolini since 1925. Italian fascism was very much the elder brother of Nazism, a fact Hitler himself acknowledged. Yet for all their ideological similarities, the relationship between Hitler and Mussolini was bumpy and complex. The alignment of their two countries was consequently not as firm as many anticipated. By the late 1930s Germany and Italy had become military allies – however their priorities were still with their own national interests, rather than supporting the interests or ambitions of another country. The union between Nazi Germany and fascist Italy became a marriage of convenience and expedience, rather than a firm alliance of sister states.…
