- Romulus and Remus's father was Mars, the Roman god of war. The king was afraid the boys would grow up to take his throne, so he ordered his men to drown them in the Tiber River. However, before the twins drowned, a wolf rescued them. Rome is from Romulus.
- Greek Architecture
- Two important Etruscan structures the Romans adapted were the arch and the cuniculus. Etruscan arches rested on two pillars, which supported a half circle of wedge-shaped stones. A cuniculus was a long underground irrigation system.
- Greek Religion
- One Etruscan custom was watching chariot races. The charioteers, or drivers, were strapped to their chariots. If a chariot overturned, they could be dragged under the chariot's wheels or trampled by the horses.
- The Romans used Greek designs in their own public buildings. Eventually, they learned to use concrete to create even larger structures, such as the Pantheon in Rome.
- The Greeks worshiped a number of gods and goddesses who governed every part of Greek life. The Greeks performed rituals and sacrifices to gain the gods' favor for everything from a good harvest to curing the sick.
- Look at their statues! They are supposed to be their Gods!
