Rome!

Personally I think Rome are copiers of Greece but that's my opinion, and I say that because they have similar of everything from us. Similar Gods, buildings, foods, just a bunch of copiers. The book says they borrowed but everyone knows there were jealous and they copied. Around 500 BC Rome overthrown Etruscan Rule, 450 BC the 12 tables were written the first Roman legal code. Then a few hundred years later the Punic Wars begin, they were between Rome and Carthage. in 202 BC Rome wins control of western Mediterranean. The Romans were shrewdly generous in their treatment of defeated enemies. More often than not, these were given the status of allies, keeping there local laws, government systems, and armies under ultimate Roman authority. The Romans also tightened there control over the Italian peninsula by creating a network of colonies of settlers of Rome.
