Today in class we talked about Rome and took a pop quiz. We talked about the ancient myth about Remus and Romulus. A Latin king feared they would claim his throne, so he ordered for them to be placed and a basket and put in the Tiber River (assuming they would drown.) Miraculously, a she- wolf found the half- starved infants and fed them with her own milk Soon after, a shepherd discovered the babies and brought them up as his sons. We also talked about Democracy vs. Republic. The difference is: in a democracy you vote directly, how everything is going to happen. and Republic: vote for person to represent you.
