 Like all works of art. the portrait is a system of signs; it is often an ideogram of “public’ meanings condensed into the image of a human face. Roman portrait sculpture from the Republic through the late Empire-the second century BCE. to the sixth CE -constitutes what is surely the most remarkable body of portrait art ever created. Its shifting montage of abstractions from human appearance and character forms a language in which the history of a whole society can be read. Beginning in the first century B.C., Roman artists invented a new kind of portraiture, as unlike that of the great tradition of Greek

There are many different styles of lines used in the piece including thin, thick, and contour lines. Lines created by an edge, and vertical lines. The contour lines can be seen throughout the piece. They help to define not only the clothing the male is wearing but also the background. Both thick and thin lines can be seen throughout the piece. The thick lines help to define the clothing while the thin lines add detail to the piece such as in the sailboats in the background. The curtain towards the top of the piece is defined by an edge created by a medium line. There is also a distinct edge which was created by line in the background. The line clearly separates the open sea from the landform.

The professor against the conclusion proposed in the reading material that burning mirror was never practically used in ancient Green when being attacked by Roman Navy. She stated three corresponding reasons to oppose those reasons which were stated in the reading passage to support her own idea.

On that first fateful day, when Romulus struck down his own brother Remus, the cauldron of Rome was forged in blood and betrayal. The seeds on the Palatine hill cultured one of the most potent and stretching empires of human history. Though this civilization seemingly wielded the bolts of Zeus, they were infested with violence, vanity, and deception. Yet, one man—or seemingly “un”-man—outshone and out-graced his surroundings and everyone within it. He brought Rome several victories and rescued his beloved country from an early exodus, thus providing her a second beginning. This man was Marcus Furius Camillus, and against a logical and emotional mind, he was oft less than loved and celebrated. At times he was disregarded, insulted and even

Following the successes of Hernan Cortes with his conquest of the Mexica-Aztec Empire of Mexico and Francisco Pizzaro with his conquest of the Inka Empire in the Andean Region of South America, many other Conquistadors embarked upon expeditions to discover and conquer wealthy Native American civilizations. Among this new wave of conquistadors was Lope de Aguirre who accompanied an expedition led by Gonzalo Pizarro, a brother of Francisco Pizarro, to find the lost city of gold known as El Dorado. The film Aguirre: The Wrath of God is a work of historical fiction that provides additional insight into the motives and behaviors of the Spanish and Aguirre during this expedition, Spanish-Native American Relations, Spanish-African slave relations, the status of role of women within colonial society, the role of the Catholic Church within Spanish society, and the nature of Spanish society within the context of Aguirre’s excursion. Aguirre: The Wrath of God provides insight into the desire for a wealth of gold and glory by the Spanish when undergoing these harsh expeditions, the abuse and subservience Native Americans were subjected to by the Spanish Conquistadors, the African slaves served the Spaniards and had to complete exhausting and humiliating work, the inferiority of women compared to Spanish men and how easily they were dismissed by Spanish men, the desire for not only conversion but gold and wealth for the Catholic Church by allowing the Conquistadors to commit atrocities in the New World, and the Spaniard belief in the righteousness of their conquests in the New World due to the successful Reconquest of Iberia from the Moors.

This represents how the elite women were supposed to show pudicitia and represent themselves as idealized women within Roman society. Additionally, with The Gold Aureus of Commodus, Pudicitia is drawing a veil from her face, signifying pudicitia through the modest aspects of the image. A statue from the 3rd century AD, Female Statue of the so-called Pudicitia type, shows a woman wearing a long tunic and cloak that covers her head. The statue portrays pudicitia with the covered up body, displaying the modesty that manifests from

To seek to keep the established constitution unchanged argues a good citizen and a good man (Augustus) A. Augustus, otherwise known as Octavian, was an excellent Emperor and was considered to be the best ever. B. He had a rather rough history, after losing his parents at a young age his uncle, Julius Ceaser, took over as his guardian, and made Octavian a very good and humble man. C. Octavian had a fairly good education after being taught by Apollodurus.

The decline of the Roman Empire began in 180 AD after Marcus Aurelius died and his son, Commodus gained control of Rome. This event marked the end of the Pax Romana. The Pax Romana was the many centuries of peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire. The rulers following after Marcus Aurelius had little to no idea on how to deal with the giant empire that Rome had become. This led to growing problems within the Empire and the slow decline of Rome.

The fall of the Roman empire signified the end of peace for Rome. The Pax Romana lasted for two hundred years. Conditions in the Roman empire grew worse until there was eventually no empire at all. There was a variety of issues that caused this end in peace. Factors in social and economical areas contributed to a large part of this collapse, as well as some political problems.

The Pax Romana dated roughly from 31 BCE to 180 CE. The title Pax Romana directly translates to Roman peace, as this was a time of little to no fighting between Rome and other civilizations. During this time, many discoveries were made in the science, math, art, and literature areas of study. This was as a result of the competent leadership of the Roman government and the switch of the government from a republic to an empire. This change was made by Gaius Octavius, and he built up the government’s power and expanded the borders, all while setting the empire up for over 150 years of international peace.

The Fall Of The Roman Empire The Roman Empire was peaceful in a time period called Pax Romana. Pax Romana lasted 200 years in Rome, until the Roman Empire fell due to many contributions such as political, social, economic and military issues. This period of peace lasted about 276 years, and fell in 476 A.D. Two important emperors, Diocletian and Constantine, tried saving the empire.

In Foster’s book, How To Read Literature Like a Professor, he has a chapter called “He’s Blind For a Reason, You Know” (209-214). In this chapter, Foster explains how blindness is used to show that the character is “blind” to what is going on around him. He also says, “if you want your audience to know something important about your character (or the work at large), introduce it early” (213). In “Battle Royal” the narrator is at one point blindfolded. The blindfold is a symbol of blindness. Ellison introduced this symbol very first, just as Foster said an author would do to get the reader's attention. The so called “invisible” man says, “Looking up front, I saw attendants in white jackets rolling the portable ring away and placing a small square rug in the

Violence is also strong and present in Hansel and Gretel. However, unlike in Cinderella, the violence in Hansel and Gretel is not described in details allowing the readers to use their imagination. Indeed, the story begins with a stepmother who forces a father to abandon his children in the forest which is itself already a certain kind of violence. One of the first aspects of horror that the children Hansel and Gretel are faced is the potential of starvation and their consequential exiling by their step-mother: “You know what husband? Tomorrow morning, very early let us take the children…and we’ll be rid of them” (59). The story simply states that there is not enough food for the children at home, so they must fend for themselves in the

The second person I interviewed was Rosa. Rose just moved into the neighborhood about three months ago. She is 25-year-old and her ethnic background is black. Rose also lives on Richardson avenue. The way she describes where she lives is there is good people, and you have bad people that do not live there. Rosa has just one child, a little girl. I ask her does she see any crime, and she said yes. She said that she is a little bit scared because she wakes up at six to get her daughter ready for school. She goes up the little hill and she see two prostitutes there. I ask her to describe what were the prostitutes wearing she said they had on a bright shirt, with a short skit, and fishnet stockings. She said that it bothers her because her little
