“The Roman Baths of Nimes” is written by Henri Cole as a way to express his desire to break free of conformity and social norms established by his environment. Furthermore, it can be regarded as a way to put an end to an internal battle by coming to terms with his true identity. A close reading of the poem helps expose the true message the poet attempts to convey to his reader.

Throughout history many civilizations and empires have been considered great. The greatest empire ever was Ancient Rome. Starting in 509 B.C.E and lasting until 476 C.E (Ancient Rome and the Rise of Christianity, 1000 BCE–500 CE,). Ancient Rome started off as a small town on central Italy’s Tiber river and ended up expanding all the way to most Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, Northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands (Ancient Rome).

The Roman empire lasted from 700 BCE until 476 Ce, and incredible 1,176 years. But how did Rome fall? Some say political squabbling. Others argue invasions.

The Roman Empire was one of the largest and most influential empires in all of history. By 476 AD, it had completely fallen apart, why? The Roman Empire began in 27 BC with the first emperor, Augustus, overseeing it. At the empires greatest extent, it held control of nearly all Europe including areas such as modern day France, Britain, Mesopotamia and North Africa. Its existence inspired a future of empires that would aspire to be just like the Roman Empire.

Carthage was a commercial empire which capital was located at the North of Africa where now is the country of Tunisia. The territory of the Carthaginian Empire included islands of the Mediterranean like parts of Sicily and territories in Spain, making it a threat to the Roman ambitious of conquering the Mediterranean. Although both countries were comparable in military power and economic strength the two nations had different military advantages: Carthage had a strong naval power while Rome had almost no naval power, but had a stronger ground force. This situation led to an inevitably conflict between Rome and Carthage which spanned three wars (called Punic Wars). The First Punic War started around 264 BC and ended at 241 BC,

The beginnings of early Rome, as laid out by Titus Livius in The Founding of the City, can be seen as a complex network of foundations that eventually led to the great strength and prosperity of the city. A foundation in the context of Roman history is an event that profoundly affects the course of political, societal, or cultural transformation. Although the first true founding occurred in 753 BC when Romulus killed Remus to claim power as a monarch, it is evident that there were other events that contributed to the development of Rome. The peaceful transition of the monarchy from Romulus to Numa chronicled by Livy in Book I.17.19-30 exemplifies the first sharing of power between the Senate and the people of Rome that would serve as a foundation for Rome’s realignment into a republic nearly 200 years later.
