According to Roman mythology the history of Rome began in 753 B.C. when a basket, floating on the Tiber River, came ashore near an area called seven hills. According to this legend the basket carried twin babies, Romulus and Remus. Their mother was the daughter of a nearby king, and their father, was supposed to be Mars, the god of war. Their uncle was the villain, who had set them in the basket on the river to protect his title to the throne. Mythology also says that the brothers were found by a she-wolf and she took care of the two babies. Then later on a shepherd found them and took them home, where he and his wife both cared for them.
When they grew up, Romulus and Remus got even with their uncle by replacing him on the throne with their grandfather. Then they built a city at a place called the Palatine Hill. Romulus invited fugitives to his hill and gave them wives by having a festival for a nearby tribe, the Sabines, then taking their women.
The legend of Romulus and Remus is really a far out story and yet based on truth. In mythology, Rome had humble beginnings and also in reality. In this legend Rome had a war god as its progenitor and wolf milk in its stomach, implying that its citizens had an ability for warfare, which they would prove many times.
In the beginning of Rome's history, the city was defeated by a people called the Etruscans, the most prominent civilization in Italy prior to Rome's rise to power. The Etruscans influenced Roman civilization, who had migrated to Italy from Asia Minor, around the 12th century B.C. Their history is a mystery, because their language is not related to any language. Their Italian homeland, which was Etruria, was made up of a confederation of city-states. They were known for their work, such as, metalworking and their fine pottery. The Etruscans were at the peak of their rule during the 6th century B.C. However, by the year 500 B.C. their civilization was headed downward, and at around that time the Romans rose up and took control of their city, creating a republic.
A patrician class in the beginning controlled Rome, but eventually the Plebs, or common people, came into power. In 390 B.C., when Greece and Persia were super powers in the world, Rome still in a weak condition was conquered by the Gauls. However,, during the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C., the Romans became conquerors of both central and southern Italy. Then, Roman armies went into Greece, where they were both conquerors and conquered. They defeated the Greek armies, but they were overtaken by Greek culture and brought back to Rome a desire for fine art and literature.
Rome's most powerful adversary was now the city of Carthage, who ruled North Africa and the western Mediterranean. In the Punic Wars, for more than ten long years, Rome was humiliated by having a Carthaginian army on its soil. Neither Rome nor Carthage, led by the great Hannibal, could see victory. So, the end result was that the Carthaginians were forced to withdraw, with the Romans forcing them back to Africa. In 202 B.C. at the battle of Zama, Rome defeated Carthage. Both of the nations had peace for a few decades, then another Punic War began. Rome saw victory once again, destroying Carthage.
Now during the next two hundred years the Roman Empire expanded very swiftly, conquering many of the nations at one time ruled by Alexander the Great, which included Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt. While endeavoring to rule the entire Mediterranean world, Rome also defined its own civilization and political organization. With reservations, the city offered citizenship widely to other Italian towns and to those who they felt were beneath them as far as their social standing was concerned.
Then, in the year 60 B.C., a triumvirate, which was a three-man executive board consisting of Gaius Julius Caesar, Pompey the Great, and Marcus Licinius Crassus ruled Rome. Caesar had risen to power as a popular democratic leader. He was also a impressive general. During the next ten long years he fought the Gallic Wars, leading a Roman army all the way north to Britain.

History was one of my majors in college and I very much enjoy reading and writing about this subject-called history. I suppose my favorite time period in past history is the Civil War.

How iPod Conquered the Mp3 Player
How iPod Conquered the Mp3 Player
If you’ve got kids then they probably wanted one for Christmas and if you work in marketing or the music business then you have probably already had an iPod for years. Since its release in 2001 the Apple iPod has become synonymous with the term Mp3 player. Apple pretty much created the market for Mp3 players and they also totally dominate it.
Why has the iPod been such a huge success?
Apple cleverly spotted the rise of digital music and the lack of a suitable piece of hardware. For this reason they developed a hard drive based MP3 player and released this in late 2001. As with their recent computer models Apple did something very clever in the way they marketed and designed their product. Right from the start the iPod was given a sleek and sexy look and was marketed at young, style continuos, music enthusiasts. Apple created a fantastic brand with the all white look, with the white earphones being featured prominently in adverts. The white iPod earphones have actually become so recognisable that they have actually been blamed for increased numbers of street robberies.
Even the original iPod could store a fairly significant amount of music as it used a 5GB hard drive. It was a success from the start, but the fact that it was only Mac compatible held back sales slightly, although Apple did actually see an increase in sales of Apple Macs due to people wanting to be able to use the iPods.
The real explosion for the iPod when they released the 3rd generation iPod in 2003 that came bundled with Apple’s own iTunes software that was compatible on both Macs and Windows PCs. This has opened up a new market as they could now tap into the Windows users. Apple now has a huge 90% market share of the hard drive based Mp3 player market, and 70% share of the MP3 player market as a whole. Very impressive I’m sure you will agree.
Apple has managed to keep their grip on the mp3 player market by releasing several different versions of the iPod. The main iPod is now in its 5th generation and although the design is largely similar to the original, it has been made more compact and available with much large storage capacities. The latest models can display colour photos and movies.
The dominance of the iPod in the mp3 player market can be seen in other industries. Cars are now being designed with docking ports to make integrating iPods to the in car system easier. Clothes manufacturers are making clothes with special pockets to hold iPods. All manner of other iPod accessories are being created by various electronics companies.
You’d be forgiven for thinking the iPod was the only mp3 player available, well it isn’t. There are many other players out there, that some will tell you are actually a lot better than the iPods, just maybe not as fashionable.

About the Author
Does this sound like an original story to you?
"In a realm where everything that has ever been imagined, has existed, or may exist is reality, where fiction is fact and reality is skewered on an infinite expanse of land and sea.... There exists an evil emperor Koroko who plans to use his growing power to conquer this world and use it to control the imaginations of all things sentient. A simple Earth Boy and his friends must team up with a simple Girl from this dimension to stop this evil Koroko by taking his Amulet of Power to the Keetongu Warrior Xantos to be destroyed, with Koroko, his minions, and his allies (from various works of fiction) close behind."
Basically, everything (character, creature, location, culture, idea, etc) in every work of fiction, everything that can or has been imagined, anything that has existed, will exist, or does exist actually does exist in an infinite-mile (in every direction) dimension with the endless planets and stars, etc above and endless parallel kingdoms below....
What do you think?
It sounds great, keep working with it. Remember what we were taught in english comp, write and rewrite. Don't give up.
