Please post your two most thoughtful questions here. You should have many more questions in your questions log, and you should aim to answer the more discrete questions in your reading notes. We'll share via SynchronEyes in class Monday.

My two questions were:
1. What were the tribes of the "Apennines"? The reading said they were pastoral hill tribes who farmed, but were they significacant people (to Rome)?
2. Were the "families" that managed to acquire large tracts of land, wealthy families or merchants? What type of "family" in what class is able to do so?
1) "In Rome inequality was accepted, institutionalized, and turned into a system of mutual benefits and obligations." When did that start, and how did people feel about that at the time?
2) Why did Rome decide to have a republic rather than a democracy?
1. What were some of the responsibilities women had in Rome? Why do we only know about Roman women from upper classes?
2. Why did Rome allow outsiders to have the same privileges as Roman citizens? Why were they so trusting to outsiders, when we today in America, don't even allow outsiders to have the same privileges as citizens?
4. What motivated Brutus to institute a republic after overthrowing Superbus?
5. When it states "Roman poets confess their love for women who appear to have been educated and outspoken…", were these poets persecuted? A society that didn't give women many rights probably wouldn't be happy with that.
1) Where do we think Romulus was from? It said that he was "cast adrift on the Tiber River". But do we know by who or where they are from?
2) If women didn't have much say in anything, how can there be a difference between upper and lower class women? Were they upper and lower class based on the "paterfamilias"?
1) Was the numina apart of their religion? Or was it just something that the people believed in?
2)Were the owners of the latifundia the upper class people or was it everyone? If it was only the upper class people did they have slaves, or did they work on the farms themselves?
