- A similarity between the information in the rap and in the textbook is who first settled in Rome which was the Latins. The rap and the textbook both say this along with the Greeks and the Etruscans, who settled there after the Latins.
- A difference between the rap and the textbook is the textbook mentions a more detailed description of Rome's geography. Rome was built on many hills on the Tiber River and was between the Alps and Italy's southern tip. The rap does mention the Tiber River, but nothing more of its geography.
- Another similarity is the mention of Tarquin. The rap mentions him as a tyrant who was driven out of Rome because of the way he was harsh. This is also said about him in the textbook.
- The rap and the textbook also talk about the new form of government that is formed after the Romans decide to have no more kings rule. This new government was two groups. One was the patricians, wealthy landowners who have most of the power, and the second was plebians, the common people who had the most population. Even though the rap says these terms it does not explain what they are.
- A difference between the information in the rap and in the textbook is the rap does not mention when Rome conquered Italy to spread its power across the area. I don't know if this conquering is not as important as other things in the rap, but it is a difference between the rap and the textbook.
