Rome once began as a group of villages along the Tiber River in Italy. These villages fused and formed a nation around 750 BC. Although Rome became a republic and had people chosen representatives, kings ruled the land for more than two hundred years before. There came a transition from republic Rome to a Roman Empire once again, when the famous Julius Caeser, a Roman general took over. Try this Ancient Romans Quiz to see how well you know the country.
