Ancient Rome II - Politics of the Kingdom
May 19, 2009
This is the second of many chapters in History with a Twist of Lime's look on "The Historical History of Ancient Rome." This chapter deals with what we know of the political structure of the Roman Kingdom before its transformation into the Republic. It discusses the several duties and powers of the Roman "Rex", along with the roles of his supporting cast: the Senate and the Curiate Assembly. This chapter also introduces the origins of the class divide in Rome between the patricians and plebeians that would shape Roman society and politics deep into the years of the Republic.
As this is one of many chapters being produced over this project, I would invite you to watch the other chapters dealing with the history of Ancient Rome. They can be viewed seamlessly under this playlist on YouTube:
