        C Relates to the importance assigned to aspects of the past
        
        F Relates to explanations or interpretations of past events that are open to debate.

  - - - 2 sources
        
        Primary
        
        Historians use a variety of sources in historical investigations. These are usually divided into primary sources and secondary sources.
        
        Secondary
        
        Secondary sources are things that have been created after the time being studied. A secondary source interprets and analyses the primary sources. These sources are one or more steps removed from the event. A secondary source for one historical inquiry may be a primary source for another.

    - - Mediterranean sea
        
        The Mediterranean Sea covers an area of about 2.5 million square kilometres. It has little tidal movement and mostly stable wind patterns, so it has very few bad storms. This made sailing and navigation very easy. Ancient Rome’s position at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea allowed it easy access to a range of seaports and markets around the Mediterranean region. Trade made seaports busy centres, where people of different cultures exchanged goods, ideas, technologies and processes
      - Tiber river
        
        The Tiber River begins as freshwater springs in the Apennines. It then flows west 400 kilometres across the Italian peninsula to the Tyrrhenian Sea . The city of Rome developed on the eastern bank of the Tiber. At first, the river did little more than mark off the territory of tribes in the region. As the city of Rome developed, the river became more important as a transport route. Upstream from its mouth it could be navigated for about a quarter of its length. Vessels that sailed its waters included boats propelled by oarsmen and barges dragged along by men walking the banks.
        
        The river also served as an outlet for a huge sewer, the Cloaca Maxima, built around 600 BCE. The sewer’s remains can still be seen in Rome today.
    - - Earthquakes
        
        The moving tectonic plates under the Mediterranean region make it prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. One fault line travels the length of the Apennines. Another runs across the Italian peninsula north of Naples
      - Volcanoes
        
        The eruptions of volcanoes such as Mount Vesuvius and Mount Etna have had major impacts on the human settlements of ancient Rome. One of the most significant volcanic eruptions took place in 79 CE, when Mount Vesuvius erupted and destroyed the ancient Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. An estimated 16 000 people were killed.
        
        Pompeii and Herculaneum
        
        Pompeii and Herculaneum were situated about 220 kilometres south-east of Rome. People settled in the area because it had a mild climate and some of the most fertile land in the Italian Peninsula, thanks to the minerals in the volcanic ash deposits from previous eruptions. There was a rich agricultural industry based on olive oil, wine, fruit, vegetables, wool and textiles. Fishing was also an important industry. Many rich Romans had built luxurious houses there to enjoy the climate and the spectacular views across the Gulf of Naples.
        
        Mt Vesuvius
        
        Mount Vesuvius was only 9 kilometres away from Pompeii and 7 kilometres from Herculaneum. In 79 CE, local people did not see the volcano as a threat because it had not been active within living memory. On 24 August that year, however, Mount Vesuvius unexpectedly erupted. It was a massive eruption, lasting up to 24 hours and consisting of two phases. During the first phase, the volcano spewed huge clouds of ash and pumice (light volcanic rock) high into the sky. The wind blew these clouds towards Pompeii, depositing a layer about 2.5 metres thick across the town.
    - - The values, customs and beliefs of ancient Romans were often a mix of those they had inherited from their ancestors and those adopted from societies they conquered. Together, these beliefs, values and practices had an impact on how the people of ancient Rome lived.
      - The rulers of ancient Rome did not believe in one god, as Jews, Christians and Muslims do; instead, they believed in many. Most of their deities (gods) were adapted from ancient Greek gods and goddesses.
        
        Roman Gods
        
        Roman deities were worshipped in temples and in the home. Sacrifices and offerings were made and festivals were held in their honour. Rituals and ceremonies were the most important part of Roman religious practice.
