Come with Sarah and Giovanni to the Capitoline Hill at sunset.

For 244 years Rome had kings – seven very different kings.

One night everything changed. The people got very angry and threw the last king out forever.

In this easy-English episode you will learn:

  • How Rome grew from small muddy villages into a real city
  • Romulus the fighter and Numa the peaceful king who loved religion
  • A rich man from another country who came and became king
  • Big new things the kings built: a giant temple, a racetrack, walls, and sewers
  • A poor slave boy whose head was on fire (but he was okay!) – he later became a good king
  • A terrible story about a princess who drove over her father with her chariot
  • The sad story of Lucretia and how her death ended the time of kings
  • How Rome started the Republic and promised “never again a king”

Big myths, real history, and a lot of drama – all told with simple words.

When the app is ready, this episode has its own walking map: from the Capitoline Hill to the old city wall and the street that is still called “Crime Street” today.

Next episode: the exciting and dangerous early years of the new Republic!

See you in Rome!
