Ancient Rome And The Roman Empire

The Roman Empire is known as one of the strongest empires in history, due to their advanced technology, strong military leaders, and republican government. As the empire started to expand, so did their power. However, after years have gone by, the Roman Empire started to fall. Their fall may have been caused by political reason, such as the empire being just too much to handle, Diocletian splitting the territory in half, and their government corruption.

The Roman Empire was one of the most popular empires that there ever was. It was also one of the largest as it went as far as Memphis in the South and Europe in the North (document 3). The empire’s location was not the best. Water practically surrounded the entire empire. The Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and Caspian Sea were all ports of water around it. However, that did not hold back the empire’s power, as it quickly adapted and used it to their advantage. Sea trade, deep harbors, and roads are a few of the ways that the Roman Empire used their location to help themselves.

Many historians still don’t know who founded Rome, but the romans had a myth about their city. Long ago two children were born- Remus and Romulus, the king was scared that Remus and Romulus would overthrow him and take away his thrown. So he soon threw them into the Tiber River but a She-wolf saved them, they soon grew up and then quarreled about who would take over the thrown. Romulus soon killed Remus and named the city after himself, Rome.

Roman Republic, one of the most famous republic in ancient time, established a form of government comprising three main parts: a few magistrates, a Senate, and several assemblies. Roman Republic was the period of ancient Roman civilization starting with the collapse of the Roman Kingdom in 509 BC, and ended in 27 BC with the founding of the Roman Empire. The government had representatives selected by citizen and ended because of the civil war between powerful generals including Antony and Brutus.

The Roman Republic and the Roman Empire together lasted for over one-thousand years,and at its height, their extensive territories stretched from the Atlantic Ocean in the West, to the rivers of Mesopotamia in the East, and from the Sahara desert in the South, to the River Rhine in Northern Europe. The one factor that made this spectacular feat possible was the exploits of the Roman Military. The military had succeeded in their expansion campaigns and had successfully defended the borders against foreign invaders for centuries. The fact of the matter was that the Roman Military was the deciding factor in any successes or failures the Roman state incurred, and at its most basic element, it was ultimately the successful strategies and doctrines of the Roman Army that made their victories so pervasive. This paper will trace the development of the military from the early Roman period through the Marius ' reforms, with an emphasis placed on the primary battle formations and tactics employed by the Roman Legions.

Despite the fact that the Roman Empire ended thousands of years ago, many different parts of the empire survived and still have a huge impact on life today. The aspect of the empire that I believe have had the largest effect today is the legacy of writing and language. Many citizens of this famous empire believed that this empire would last forever. But due to weak borders, a changed capital, and a bad ruler the empire eventually met its end and collapsed. Despite this fact the power empire will forever live on for many generation to come.

What kind of technology in the Roman Empire affect its growth the most? I will be investigating from the start of the Roman Empire in 753 BCE to when the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 CE. This investigation will have a broad scope while investigating and include things from the Roman Legion to aqueducts and concrete. This investigation will not include technology that was not widely used to better the Roman Empire. The research question will answer my question by conducting research on how different groups of technology made the Roman Empire better based off of their potential uses and different contributions to Roman society.

Rome was started in the eighth century B.C. / 753 B.C. It was started by Romulus in a town by the Timber River. In a legend Romulus and his brother were left in the wild and they were found and raised by a wolf. Romulus killed his brother, then he could become king of Rome. The Roman Empire grew and it came into control of Britain, Asia, northern part of Africa, and some Mediterranean islands. The Romans spoke many languages including Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian. The empire’s religion was Roman Paganism and the believed in many gods. When Christianity came, the romans persecuted them until Constantine, the first roman Christian emperor.

The Roman Empire, which was centered in the city of Rome, was the most extensive western civilization of ancient times. With its major advancements and prosperity it is hard to believe that the Roman Empire suddenly collapsed and fell into a time known as the Dark Ages. After a period of struggles for the Roman Empire, the empire gradually fell.

The Ancient Roman’s had a wicked idea of entertainment. The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an elliptical amphitheater in the center of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and stone, it is the largest amphitheater ever built and is considered one of the greatest works of architecture and engineering. The Roman Colosseum, constructed in 79 AD, is a visual representation of the importance of physical strength and military proficiency in Ancient Roman civilization, this is because it was constructed to revel Rome’s military accomplishments and to provide entertainment for Roman citizens. Many events prompted the construction of the Roman Colosseum.

The city Rome was named after Romulus, he wanted a city and established Rome with a group

The Roman empire is considered one of the most powerful and longest lasting empire of all time by most historians. At its peak the Roman empire managed to take control and rule nearly the whole inhabited world at the time. Though their military achievements were outstanding the Romans also excelled at legislature. The Romans ran a governmental system which was most like a republic which the power was in the hand of the senators and patricians. The senators and patricians were mostly extremely rich elders of the community who linked themselves to gods. Though the people were the ones who voted for the senators the rich always voted who they wanted because they were the first to vote which made the senate corrupt since the lower classes barely got a say. Although the Roman empire was extremely successful historians are always doing research to figure out what elements led to its collapse. However, the Roman legislature, use of propaganda to sway public opinion, military power to conquer lands, and philosophy were essential reasons for the extended survival of the Roman empire.

From ages, Rome awakens fascination among people from all over the world, we associate with power and development since antiquity. The architecture is an amazing impression, atmosphere and climate of Rome which I think attracts people from the remotest part of the globe. The roman beginning of urbanization of the cities has inherited most of the “scriptures” from the Etruscans. From them, the Romans has adopted the layout of the dwelling houses all over the city. The Roman Empire and history has started 753pne.

Rome today is a bustling and diverse city teeming with history and culture that dates back to thousands of years. This rich cultural intertwine is evident with its seeming myriad of historical monuments, relics, and construction that allude to various ancient cultures. Rome’s ground level environment is truly an architectural, cultural, and spiritual hearth for things of the past; however, this area is truly only “the tip of the iceberg”. Underneath Rome’s floors lies a seemingly unending expanse of tunnels and chambers that makeup The Roman Catacombs. Inside the cavernous pathways of Rome’s catacombs is a plethora of religious and cultural history that provides historians today with an unfathomable source of early Roman and Christian history. Regardless of discrepancies over its use and origins, the Roman catacombs are indispensable for providing insight on the culture, beliefs, and social location of early Christians.

As the story goes, Rome was founding in 753 B.C. by two brothers Remus and Romulus who were raised by wolves. The two brothers started fighting over the leadership of the land. Eventually Romulus killed Remus and took control own his own. The city was only a small settlement
