Romans Influence On American Culture

Roman provinces had several effects on the Roman economy. The provinces allowed for regular imports of grains, trades of exotic goods, monetary tributes, and importation of slaves. These factors helped fuel and strength the Roman economy.

The ancient Rome Empire raises their empire by coquetting many lands by fighting and coquetting them. One on the things that made Rome special was their expansion of the territory. What was different of other empires is, when they conquer a foreign land, they let them keep their traditions and their own culture. Instead of teaching them religion and make them be a Roman, they made them swear fealty to Rome. Roma wanted to spread their territory and their trading zone. One example of this was the war of the Roman and the Carthaginians in 264 BC. After many battles of this war better know as the Punic Wars, finally the romans defeated the Carthaginians. It took 100 years to put and end to this war.

Rome was a vast empire. At Rome’s peak the empire stretched nearly 1.7 million square miles and included most of southern Europe. To keep this vast empire organized the romans created a network of roadways or what we would call it today highways. This network would keep the empire connected with information and supplies to all the surrounding colonies and out post. These roadways contributed to the success of Rome’s power in 3 ways, its military force, trade, and communication. The military would serve as protection and expansion of the empire, trade would bring wealth to the nation and become powerful, communication would bring new ideas from the surrounding nations, new concepts and way of thinking. All these aspects when combined created one of the greatest empires known to man.

In this paper, I will try to point out how the provinces affected the general Roman economy, then follow with a conclusion.

In my opinion, the success in the building of the trading between provinces and the growth of the Roman economy are found in three parts, 1) Slavery, 2) Roads, and 3) Trading. Through the development of trading in other provinces, the creation of roads and the business of slavery, the growth of the Roman economy grew by leaps and bounds. The process of growth set the example for economic growth for other countries and states for years to come.

Moreover, the goods such as wheat, wine, olive oils were imported from the other parts of the Roman world. Due to having many populations as slaves and other were on dole, the spending on these goods for the consumption was

The Roman Empire was one of the most successful empire of its time and lasted from about 500 B.C. to about 500 A.D. Many things the Romans did attributed to the success of the Roman Empire. The Romans had a new way of governing its citizens and had an extremely strong military. They had many new innovations that made easier to govern, and encouraged recreation. One of the most important reasons for Roman success was, Romans wanted to achieve something Roman Peace throughout their empire.

One of the Roman Empire’s greatest accomplishments was the development and practical use of the aqueduct. An aqueduct is a man-made structure built to transport water from a water source to distant locations. These structures were typically a channel or pipe, which would allow the water to flow through it. A few of the most recognizable constructed aqueducts that the Romans built were the tunnels underneath the ground and the arcades, which ran above ground and across troublesome landscape features. The most common use for aqueducts or aqueduct-like structures was to irrigate farmland that did not have a direct source of water. The Romans designed aqueducts that would transport water into their cities, and, “With the water, they could

Political organization and administrative presence are the second requirements for having a successful empire. It is evident that the Roman government had the ability to collect revenue, taxation, while having a justice system to impose laws, build and maintain roads and other infrastructure. The Roman Empire was the most prosperous empire across Europe during its time. There were three elements that gave Rome the details to be seen as a great empire administrator. Rome had the ability to be aristocratic, democratic, and monarchical, all of which are important for the success of an empire (Polybius, 1). Polybius writes, “This was indeed only natural. For if one fixed one's eyes on the power of consult, the constitutionseemed completely monarchical

The Roman Empire was a very successful empire because they knew how to govern it and they had a fierce army to protect it. Their constitution was basest off of many other constitutions such as the Athenian system or the Spartan system. They were able to piece and part together a strong government off of their neighbors. The Romains also made a strong army to protect themselves. In the time of the Punic wars that army was used for conquering new territories. The Romans started to expand as they did they went after the Carthaginians. The Carthaginians fought back because they were not going to be ruled by Rome and thus was borne the Punic wars. The Punic wars went on for a very long time in the end Rome won, but even in the time of war Rome’s

Through Military conquest, romans built their empire taking over new lands in order to dominate them. People were eager to adopt roman practices as the romans were encouraged to adopt theirs. The city of Rome was the heart of the empire. It underwent a remarkable political evolution. Romans set up institutions that included a senate. Even with these carefully crafted institutions, the Roman Republic failed. It slowly descended into the chaos of civil wars. As powerful and important as the Roman Empire was it failed due to being without its peers, and ultimately it could not defeat its rivals to the east, the Parthians and Sassanid’s from Iran. The Romans had multiple transformations after this. They were never able to completely recover.

France is a nation known for artistic talent. Well before the works of Monet and Seurat, prehistoric man painted on his surroundings and constructed early forms of architecture. As history progressed, new art forms developed when the Celtics moved into Gaul. Following these migrations, art transformed again as France became more influenced by the Greeks and Romans. The origins of art in France have humble beginnings dating over 30,000 years ago, and art has evolved overtime through the process of Celtic migration and the adaptation of Greco-Roman design.

Roman aqueducts are still around today and prove the Roman’s intelligence of engineering and knowledge of water structures. Some aqueducts are even operational to this very day! Many of the aqueducts can be found throughout Rome, and it can really seem impossible that they built them with how little knowledge and supplies they had at the time. Three notable aqueducts in Rome are the Porta Maggiore, the Arch of Drusus, and Nero’s Aqueducts. Roman aqueducts provided a vast amount of support to the Roman civilizations. A few of these include drinking water, indoor sewer systems that swept water away from the city, supplied the bath houses with plentiful water – where the Roman citizens relaxed so often. More uses of aqueducts included

The ancient Roman empire held a populace of approximately 50-90 million people during the Roman Peace period (Pax Romana), which was about 20% of the world's population by then. This summons a lot of questions to one's mind, like how were the Romans able to sustain that big of a population? And how were they able to absorb the continuous growth of territory and population? As one might guess, trade held a crucial role in the development of ancient Rome, and it was one of the main factors that made the expansion of the roman empire possible.

Romans were mostly farmers and merchants, living in a slaved-based economy which was dependent on agriculture and trade; as an Empire, two main concerns of the governing system were to maintain a steady supply of food for the soldiers, and feeding the people (Manas, n.d.). To this extent, provinces had a few obligations to Rome, among them paying taxes and supplying Rome with goods (Kamm, n.d.). This hierarchical system of exploitation and mutually beneficial relationships among Rome and her provinces lends further credence to the idea that the moving stream of wealth from the outer parts of the system to the core or the political system in its entirety is best explained by the World Systems Theory. Albeit, we are mostly concern
