* Encyclopedia II - Ancient Rome - History

Ancient Rome - Monarchy. The city of Rome grew from settlements around a ford on the river Tiber, a crossroads of traffic and trade.

* Encyclopedia II - A - History

The letter A probably started as a pictogram of an ox head in Egyptian hieroglyphs or the Proto-semitic alphabet. By 1600 BC, the Phoenician alphabet's letter had a linear form that served as the basis for all later forms. Its name must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew aleph.
