=  =   = __ Social War __ = The Social War was a civil war, similar to the American Civil War, but it was between the Romans and the Italian allies.The Romans refused to grant the Italians equality, so the Italians attempted to  secede. The rebels, known as //Italia//, divided themselves into the Marsi and Samnites. The Romans divided themselves into the North and South. The North was led by Lupus, Marius, and Strabo while the South was led by Caesar, Sulla, and Didius. In the first portion of the war, Lupus died, but Marius succeeded in defeating the Marsi himself. Also, Caesar was successful in defeating the Samnites. Eventually, Roman citizenship was granted to the Italians who stopped fighting or remained loyal. After the war continued, Sulla was successful in capturing the Italian headquarters and the Italians were defeated. =__ The First Triumvirate  __= = =   The 1st triumvirate was formed in 60 BC and lasted until Crassus'  death in 53 BC.This triumvirate was mostly all about Caesar, Pompey,  and Crassus. Caesar wanted to run for Consul and to do this he manipulated  alliances within the Senate to secure his election. When Caesar got into  the Consul he wanted to pass a law that required the public release of all  the debates and procedures of the Senate. The purpose of this was to make  him look like a hero cause of certain things that were done. The second thing  he did was he was trying to get on Pompey's good side. He made a law that  said that Pompey's veterans would live in Italy instead of Compania. After  accomplishing this he secured Cassus support because he passed a tax proposal   that would benefit his business. Securing both of these people kept everyone  from wanting to overthrow Caesar. =__ The Second Triumvirate  __= The 2nd Triumvirate is formed on 26th November 43 BC. It is different compared to the 1st Triumvirate because it was an official, legally established institution. Whose power in the Roman state was given all support, and it over-powered other magistrates, even consuls. However, the only person that had more power than the Triumvirate was Sulla. It was formed to fill the emptiness in the government left by Julius Caesar's death. Octavian, Marc Antony, and Lepidus were the members in this triumvirate. However, Antony decided to fight Rome, Octavian was a part in defeating Antony's forces. Once Anotony was no longer there Lepidus was forced to retire; Octavian was free to become Augustus Caesar. = __ Time Line  __ =

Between 900 and 800 BC, a mysterious group of people called the Etruscans settled on the Italian peninsula. The Etruscans raped a vestal virgin, Lucretia. The Roman Republic involved the 12 tables, which was just written laws. The legislative branch consisted of 300 senates, and they served for life. The executive branch consisted of 2 consuls who had one year terms. Eventually, the executive branch had 10 consuls. The judicial branch was in charge of the 12 tables. A dictator served for at the most six months and only reigned during a crisis. The Social War was a civil war fought between the Roman and Italian allies because the Romans would not grant the Italians equality. The Romans were successful in defeating the Italians, with successes from Marius, Caesar, and Sulla. The 1st triumvirate was all about Caesar and how he wanted to become Consul. He only looked out for himself and helped other's out so that they wouldn't overthrow him. The two main ones he helped out was Pompey and Crassus, which were wealthy and powerful men that would overthrow him. The 2nd Triumvirate was different than the 1st because it was an official political alliance of Julius Caesar. It had more power than most magistrates and even consuls. It was brought to fill the emptiness left by Caesar.
