Roman Banner Research Paper

In today’s society, the American flag is a symbol of freedom, liberty, and justice among a number of other values. As Americans, we value the flag for its representation during the revolutionary war and the everlasting significance of today. As soldiers, we pledge to honor, serve, and protect the flag and the United States of America at all cost. In this paper, the relationship between the American flag and the United States Army will be explored through the histories of both. Furthermore, the importance of flag detail will be discussed by linking the two entities together as one. Without the American flag’s representation, the Army has no purpose; no means to exist.

In the official U.S. Army logo, "This We’ll Defend" is found in a rattlesnake-encircled banner above a tableau filled with military and revolutionary symbols, including a liberty cap, cannons and

Many aspects of the United States of America can be traced back to roman history. One of these aspects is the main city. Rome was the main city of the Roman Empire and the population back then was once 1.2 million and growing. Just like in the United States there is N.Y. where it is very populated. It also shares the aspect of crime because in both cities it is dangerous to walk around in the streets because of the muggings and robberies that took place all over the cities.

What did it feel like to be in Ancient Rome? How did the Romans live? Ancient Rome was located on central Italy's Tiber River into an empire that at its peak encompassed most of continental Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. Most of the Romans’ lifestyle were Jobs, Armies, War, Food and Religion.

The Roman republic was an ancient form of democracy based on the Plebian assembly and the Senate. The republic was controlled by a senate composed of over 300 senators. The senate was based in Rome. During each assembly, there was an elected president based on popular votes who was expected to moderate the assembly. In accordance with the principle of annuality, the position along with other positions in Ancient Rome could only be held for one term, which was a year, by the same individual. In addition, the position always had two individuals in what was referred to as collegiality (Wiseman, p.10). The principle of collegiality was aimed at ensuring that power within a position was always in check to avoid the rise of a dictatorship. During

The Roman Empire was going strong for hundreds of years. However, in A.D. 476 the last Roman emperor was dethroned. In 1453 Rome finally fell to the Ottoman Turks. There are many different theories on why the empire fell, ranging from invasions to urban decay, and many people say that America is on the same path as Rome. Political, military, economic, and social problems all contributed to the downfall of the Roman Empire. These are also current issues brewing in the United States of America.The American government may need to make many changes in order to keep the country around for a while.

Many factors led to the transition from a republic to an empire, no one event or person is to blame. For one the Roman Republic constitution was never really laid out for conquest with wealthy oversea territories so the addition of more provinces caused the delicate balance within the political constitution the begin to collapse.

From the beginning of time until this very moment many new people groups have joined to form new civilizations. This all then led to new ideas which they formed new concepts of how to do things such as farming, living, government, etc. Throughout this paper, I will be talking a little bit about the early Roman way of living, government, and their armies ways and changes, then at the end about the “scutum” which is the roman shield.

Empires for much of early and late years of 500 B.C.E and 500 C.E. made a long-lasting impact on human civilization, expanding its territories through much of Asia, Europe, and North Africa. Each one of these geographical areas had a significant empire that ran through day by day expanding ideas of government, science, trade, and religion. These empires had at times the same motives and ideas as other neighboring empires, yet internally they were all different, with The Greek states and its Hellenic culture, the Romans and it’s every expanding conquest of the world or the multiple Chinese empires. The empires of the early world, have impacted human history by shaping the world around them to their governance, yet, being similar in nature.

In the poem “Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen, imagery is used to protest war. Stanza three states, “His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood come gargling from froth-corrupted lungs…” (Owen). This quotation illustrates how desensitized these men have become to the suffering of war. Directly after this quote, Wilfred Owen explains the meaning of “Dulce et Decorum Est” and he also introduces the quote as “The old Lie”. Both of these examples demonstrate the visual picture of how the war is extremely negative. Similarly, Kevin Powers also uses imagery in his book, The Yellow Birds, to protest against the wrathful war. The excerpt states “...and old arty shells and the… the guts… and everything

Like every child, I went through the dreaded "Why?" stage— the point in a child's life when every response— to anything—was to ask why. "Why is the sky blue?" "Why do I have to go to bed? Why do I sleep?". The stage began when I first put a sentence together, according to my mother. It still has yet to end. Though I am no longer incessantly asking my exasperated mother why bananas are yellow, I still have a rampant curiosity and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. To put it simply, I want to know why things are the way they are, and I want to know about things which are new to me.

The lives of Roman boys were indubitably intriguing, but they unquestionably contrasted with the lives of boys today.To begin, Roman boys wore different types of clothing, depending on their social status and money.Boys living in the lower class wore only a tunic (tunica) and undergarments (subligaculum), while the higher classes wore a tunic, undergarments, and toga praetexta. This was, at least, until they reached manhood and switched out the toga praetexta, which was usually bordered with garnet, for a plain white tunic. Wealthier boys actually had the color purple featured somewhere on their togas, corresponding to the characters in our Ecce Romani book. This was a symbol of economic superiority, since purple was a particularly rare color

There were a lot of different parts in ancient societies; however, technology is one of the most significant. Technology has been around for hundreds of years, but ancient technology was a lot different then it is now. Ancient Mesopotamia was one of the first civilizations, and therefore, brought many technological advancements. Similarly, Ancient Rome had many different parts but also contributed greatly to the world through technology. People now use technology more than any other time period. The technology from ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Rome were the foundation of current technology and influenced how people use certain items today.

The Roman Army served a critical role in the existence and development of the empire from its conception until its collapse. It was vital not only to the strength and solidarity of the empire, but to the emperor as well. As the emperor’s largest employer, the army had a significant and lasting impact on the Roman economy, and the possibility of the army collectively turning against the sitting emperor gave it a political dimension as well. The aim of this paper will be to analyze the army during the time period between the reigns of Emperors Constantine I and Justinian. What is more, I will argue that the Roman army ultimately deteriorated at its greatest extent during this time period due to certain imperial policy, military logistics,
