		After initial successes from 323–320 (326–322), a Roman army was trapped at the Caudine Forks in 319 (321), and Rome was forced to negotiate an unfavorable peace.
		In 295 a large force of Samnites and Gauls was defeated at Sentinum, where a second Decius Mus was reputed to have secured a Roman victory by a devotio—that is, by seeking death in battle in exchange for divine assurance of Roman victory.
		The Romans defeated a Gallic army at Lake Vadimon in Etruria and then annexed the land of the Senones (the ager Gallicus) along the Adriatic.

	Roman mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An archaic Roman, by contrast, would tell you that Ceres had an official priest called a flamen, who was junior to the flamens of Jupiter, Mars, and Quirinus, but senior to the flamens of Flora and Pomona.
		The original religion of the early Romans was modified by the addition of numerous and conflicting beliefs in later times, and by the assimilation of a vast amount of Greek mythology.
		The indigetes were the original gods of the Roman state (see List of Di Indigetes), and their names and nature are indicated by the titles of the earliest priests and by the fixed festivals of the calendar; 30 such gods were honored with special festivals.

	The Republican Roman Army
		Roman citizens that met the property qualifications were liable for conscription from the age of seventeen, though repeated legislation against the enlistment of younger soldiers indicates that recruits could be very young indeed.
		The lack of skill of the Roman sailors meant that the traditional manner of naval combat with manoeuvring galleys trying to ram their opponents was abandoned for a new approach.
		Roman vessels were equipped with a corvus or raven, a movable boarding bridge which enabled the Romans to turn naval battles in engagements between marines rather than ships.

	Mr. Marks' Sixth Grade Page
		Etruscans gave the Romans their alphabet, the knowledge of building the arch, (without which the aqueducts could not have been built) the military legion, gladitorial combat, and most importantly to the everyday Roman, their social system.
		Romans were always very tolerant of other religions and absorbed gods and practices from the people they conquered.
		The Romans by then (for the most part) exempted Jews from worshipping the emperor, but when it became clear that Christians were not only made of former Jews, but of many people across the empire, Rome turned a suspicious eye toward Christianity.

	History of Art: Art of the Roman Empire
		Romans had always found reassurance in the purpose and content of their monuments, which tended to vary in form according to the public level of cultural sophistication.
		Over time, the Roman manner of depicting history became so entrenched in the social imagination that up until the age of medieval Christianity, it came to be seen as the only way of presentation, and was almost second nature, part of the visual experience of Western civilization.
		No matter how Roman citizens of every extraction might differ privately in the choice of other forms of art, they were united in their positive reaction to the omnipresent propaganda of the Empire.

	creativepro.com - dot-font: Slanted Communication
		Italic was originally a separate style of writing -- not a complement to roman type, but a different and completely equal style of writing that originated in the papal chancery and other centers of official manuscript production in Renaissance Italy.
		The fact that italic is usually slanted and more cursive in form than the upright formality of ordinary roman type gives it some of its penchant for emphasis; it has a sort of forward thrust, because of its slant.
		There are italic types that have very little slant at all; there are also "oblique romans" that have nothing but their slanted angles to distinguish them from roman type.

	HELMET
		Roman helmets of our period were generally beaten out of a single sheet of iron or brass, a process that takes enormous skill.
		The Imperial Italic G represents the earliest Roman helmet discovered in which the post-Dacian Wars crossbars were probably part of the original construction, as evidenced by the brass lunate decorations applied between the crossbars.
		Since the Italic D has integral brass cross-braces placed flat against the skull, providing a double-thickness of metal at a critical point, it is tempting to speculate that the superior performance of this type versus the Dacian falx is what led to the decision to retrofit cross bracing to all helmets in the Dacian theater.

	The Ancient Etruscans, their origins, culture and downfall
		By the 7th saeculum (265bc) the Romans (the Roman league in fact) were already absorbing Etruscan civilisation city by city and as already mentioned above it was all but a glorious memory by the times of Emperor Nero.
		From the point of view of Roman morality Etruscan women were immoral and dissolute.
		Thus whilst early Etruscan artifacts are clearly Italic later periods of the culture shows a shift and assimilation of the Greek.

	Italics & Boldface - ITCFonts.com
		Italics are usually quite distinct from their companion romans; they may have different design features and character widths, and often appear more calligraphic in style.
		Italics and obliques are also used to set off the titles of books, films, newspapers and periodicals, as well as foreign phrases.
		It’s worth the slight extra trouble: as with italics, not all bolds are linked to their lighter-weight companions in the style bar; even when they are, the default might not be the weight you want to use.

		The eagle is according to both Roman and Etruscan traditions the king of birds in the same way as Jupiter, Tin in Etruscan, is the king of the Gods and so Jupiter is resembeled as an eagle giving his favour to Lucumon, the ruler.
		The Romans adopted the practise of the Haruspices which was used in combination with sacrifies, often to tell the future.
		Thus the Roman civilization is nurturing from the Etruscan civilization until it grows to became a strong civilization of its own culture.

	Chapter VIII Part Three
		Romans were the final inheritors of all power in the ancient history of the Mediterranean; they, too, were sprung from Nordic blood.
		The Romans are seen to be more Nordic than the Hellenes through their greater earnestness, the Roman gravitas and virtus, and through the freer position of the woman.
		That which was still called the Roman people -- indeed, that which already in the time of Augustus and his successors was called the Roman people -- was a racial morass arising from the decomposition of peoples and every kind of mixture, a mob wherein now and again Nordic characteristics might appear.

	Rome: The Roman Kingdom
		As the Romans steadily developed their city, its government, and its culture, they imitated the neighboring civilization to the north, the Etruscans.
		It doesn't seem that the Romans were particularly greedy for land or wealth; their conquests seem largely motivated by anxieties over the threat to their security posed by the surrounding populations.
		From the middle of the sixth century, the Roman monarchs became Etruscan, and the Romans bitterly resented it.

	Latins and Romans
		The Latins were an Indo-European people of the Italic branch who about the beginning of the 1st millenium BC have been settled in Central Italy, in a country south of the banks of the Tiber that was called Latium (modern Lazio).
		The city of Rome (in Latin Roma) was founded in the northern part of Latium in 754 or 753 BC by the twin brothers Romulus and Remus (it was called after Romulus) and for centuries served as a bulwark of Latinity against the Etruscan power.

	The Origin of Rome and Romans: an article by Cyril Babaev
		In the 9th century BC Latium, the homeland of future Romans, situated in Central Italy, on the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the left side of the Tiber River, was known by its fertile lands and mild climate, allowing its population to grow very fast.
		At first Roman guys demanded some women to make the population of the city grow; they invited Sabine girls to a festivity, then stole all them and took home, making them their wives.
		Sabines were furious and declared Romans war, but the women had quite enough time to fall in love with their new husbands, so they forced both belligerent parties to stop the war.

	FRANKS, ROMANS, FEUDALISM, AND DOCTRINE Part 1
		In order to defend itself against foreign interference and protect itself from the fate of conquered Romans elsewhere, the papacy promulgated electoral laws in 769, according to which candidates for the papal dignity had to be cardinal deacons or presbyters of the city of Rome, and Romans by birth.
		The former free Romans were transferred en masse from the cities and were established on the slave labor camps called villae and mansi, alongside the serfs.
		Louis calls himself "Emperor Augustus of the Romans" and demotes Basil to "Emperor of New Rome." Basil had poked fun at Louis, insisting that he was not even emperor in all of Francia, since he ruled only a small part of it, and certainly was not emperor of the Romans, but of the Franks.

	ritus
		In the Roman tradition, the Etruscans were known as "the builders of Italy's cities".
		This phaenomenon is probably linked to the fact that large parts of the Roman State Religion and the Ritualism concearning the worship of the Olympian Gods in Rome have been passed to the Romans by the Etruscans.
		Even when the Etruscan civilization was considered dead by the Romans, these customs and rituals (next to certain religious, political and legal customs, rules and rituals) lived on within their own culture.

		The Italics were divided up into numerous tribal groups amongst which there were the Marsi, the Samnites, the Aequi, the Vestini, and those of the Peligna valley.
		After alternating outcomes, the Italics were finally subdued at the end of the social war (91-88 B.C.), but not without first being promised Roman citizenship.
		The sacred nature of the place is further witnessed to by the surprising remains of an extremely ancient church built between the 11th and l2th century in the innermost part of the grotto where a rocky ledge juts out thus elevating a kind of irregular-shaped platform.
