ART, MUSIC AND LITERATURE



Roman painting styles show Greek influences, and surviving examples are primarily frescoes used to adorn the walls and ceilings of country villas, though Roman literature includes mentions of paintings on wood, ivory, and other materials, roman music was largely based on Greek music, and played an important part in many aspects of Roman life, Some music historians believe that music was used at almost all public ceremonies.

HIERARCHY



Rome was ruled by kinas, who were elected from each of Rome's major tribes in turn, in military matters, the king's authority (Imperium) was likely absolute. He was also the head of the state religion. In addition to the authority of the King, there were three administrative assemblies, the Senate, the Comitia Curiata and the Comitia Calata.
Roman laws traditionally could only be passed by a vote of the Popular assembly, However, the
Roman Senate represented an oligarchic institution, which acted as an advisory body. In the Republic, the Senate held great authority but no actual legislative power; it was technically only an advisory council.
