Which of the following groups are the people who first settled the land on the bend of the tiber river that was to become rome?
a. etruscans
b. greeks
c. latins
d. egyptians

The answer is A. Etruscans.  They were the ones who settled on the bend of the Tiber River and found Rome.  Later on Rome established a republic but it was not democratic.  The Aristocracy enjoyed all the rights in Rome while plebeians or commoners had little or no rights. They later revolted against the Aristocracy that resulted in them being to hold public office and have say in society.  Rome would evolve from a republic to an empire that would have territories both in the East and the West.
