cause Of his physical strength and
his prowess In battle. II has the cor
responding meaning in the French
surname Le Fort. There grew out Of
this name Of Strong many other
similar surnames, such - strongheart,
Strongarm. 6trongbow. This last
mentioned name was the sobriquet Of
the i1lustrious Earl Of Pembroke. Some
authorities maintain, however, that the
true origin Of the name Strong Is In
the name Of Strang Of England and
Scotland. Sir Robert Strange was
the first engraver Of Scotland. One
Of the strongholds Of the Strongs was

hills-all southeast Of the Tiber
River-which were settled in early
days. It appears that the city was
started about 2,700 years ago. VII
lagos grew up on two or three Of
the hills and were combined. From
that small beginning Rome grew into
the most powerful city Of ancient
times.
For more than 400 years Rome
was under the rule Of Kings. Then
the people drove out Tarquin the
Proud and formed . republic. The
republic lasted for I'VE centuries,
until it gave way to rule by EN-
perors. Many Of the Emperors were
cruel: most Of them were greedy.
First the Romans conquered the
land around them. until they had
control Of Italy. Then they spread
their rule far and wide around the
Mediterranean Sea. Gaul <(now
France), Spain, Greece, Thrace. Ar
menia, Egypt, Britain and the north
western coast Of Africa fell under
their sway. Army after army was
sent forth to obtain slaves, gold and
other plunder.
In q hollow between hills Of Rome
was the Forum. large open space
where people came together to talk
about the news Of the day, to buy
things from shops, to argue about
laws and to listen to public speakers.
Thousands Of persons crowded about
the speakers, cheering or hooting
the words which were spoken.
There were buildings around the
space used for the Forum. and sew
eral were temples. One temple was
built in honor Of Jupiter, chief Of
the Roman gods. Another was set
up for Jupiter's wife, the goddess
Juno, and was known as Juno
Moneta." It was Joined to Q building
where metal was coined into money.
Our, word money" Is believed to
have come from the Roman word
"Moneta."
Christian churches have been built
on some Of the places where Roman
temples stood. A part Of the Forum
space. Is still open in the modern
city, but the old-time Roman Forum
Is no more.
