Rome Was Different From The Steppes

When comparing Han China and Classical Rome, many political, geographical, and religious similarities can be found, though many differences are also prevalent. Though Roman and Han political structures both emphasized bureaucracies, they came to them quite differently. Through copious amounts of expansion, both societies spread culture and earned money, though expansion was eventually their downfalls. Their religions differed immensely, with Rome emphasizing polytheism and Han China focusing on Confucianism. The differences and similarities between these two civilizations are to be discussed in this essay.

The specific questions that I have that this research will address is that, Varina, being so well educated and intelligent, she voiced her opinions daily in letters and public. I wonder if at any point if her husband felt inferior to her and/or resented her for having definite opinions and for keeping in contact with her relations in the North? Perhaps he felt that she never was truly loyal to him and his cause.

But most importantly, armies could not efficiently move to other regions to stop revolts and invasions, ultimately weakening stability in these large empires. To overcome this problem, these states built extensive roads, linking cities and villages. Movement was greatly enhanced with the introduction of the roads, allowing the military to move quickly from provinces to provinces to quench any rebellion. Along these roads, postal services were built to send and receive information regarding provinces, further enhancing communication. Like the internet, the roads integrated distant regions, permitting large empires like these to survive.

Nomads and their chariot was such an important development that led to the growth of these early territorial states. An effect that happened from the initial development of chariots are the innovations. When migration occurred and the nomads invaded the lands, the invention of chariot was created. The horse chariot consisted of “a two-wheeled horse drawn vehicle used in warfare and later in procession and races” (textbook pg 84). In the beginning, horse chariots were made to carry and transport items from A to B, but later on, in the chapter, horse chariots became used for war purposes. The pastoralist nomads “lightened the chariots of their war horses so chariots could be pulled faster; spoked wheels made of special circular bent wood were replaced by solid-wood wheels that were heavier and prone to shatter” (textbook pg 85). Because the initial development of chariots, the

Both Rome and Han had large and effective trade routes such as The Han Dynasty’s Silk Road and The Roman Empire’s trade routes along the Mediterranean coast lines. Along Rome’s trade route, big or small Empires can trade with each other and Rome traded more broadly than Han China. But in The Han Dynasty, farmlands were more spread out throughout the Empire and farmers had more advanced agricultural tools and techniques which brought them an enormous amount of food, and also China had more natural resources such as salt, silk and gold, as a result, Rome traded more extensively to gain access to natural resources while Han China had enough natural resources for both using and trading so Han did not trade as wide as Rome

The Han and Roman empires both saw technology as useful and resourceful. However, their view on how technology should be utilized differed. The Hans saw technology as away to better their empire and properly serve the people, but the Romans saw technology as a way to display the Roman Empire’s great wealth and vast strength. As both of theses empires grew and expanded, the need for advanced technology increased. In regard to the Roman empire, they innovated such ideas to their convenience.

The kingdom had a huge strategical advantage by making use of the mountains and placed the enemies in an unfavorable situation. Countless attacks and invasions occurred yet none of those reached the capital nor the other cities. But it was not the reason for the kingdoms fame, it was because of the Twin Mountains where capital and the kingdom named itself. The Twin Mountains were said to emit an immense amount of energy that could increase one’s strength.

The Roman empire lasted about 500 years. It started off as one of the strongest empires when it began. They had the best land army at the time but had no navy. They eventually made ships and trained their troops to board enemy ships and attack. While they was fighting the war they lost all funding and forced their enemy to pay them back but one of the later generals launched an attack on Rome. The romans experienced major changes from the beginning of the first century B.C..

The Romans and Mongols, Genghis Khan in particular, had very different strategies when expanding and taking over cities. Rome was very lenient. When they conquered city states, they wouldn’t interfere with the lives of the citizens that much. They would allow their cultures to mix together, and this worked particularly well with religion due to their polytheistic religion. Roman culture ended up becoming a combination of Greek Culture, and the cultures of the local cities that they annexed. More importantly, they rarely pillaged after they took over a city. Instead, they would only allow them to trade with Rome, thereby becoming economically dependent on them. In addition, they would require a gift of troops to expand their army. On the other

While Ivanhoe goes about his business in the book, he is in the presence of two beautiful women, both of which take a strong liking to him. Throughout the book he is bound by his promise to marry Rowena, but due to her father’s enmity, Rowena’s wishes of a romantic marriage have faded. She has been destined to marry Athelstane, who also has royal Saxon blood, thus making her father’s throne thoroughly Saxon. Rebecca is Ivanhoe’s second option, although not the most valued of the two, she has many characteristics which attribute to her value as a potential wife. Ultimately, Ivanhoe ties the knot with Rowena after the long-awaited approval from her father, and Ivanhoe fulfills his promise from long ago. Though the real question awaits, “Did Ivanhoe marry the right woman?”

The letter was made by the Queen, it was one of the few letters she ever wrote to leaders in her life time. In short, the letter states that the Kalpian Republic started the Kemo-Kalpian War not the Empire of

The final centuries of the Western Roman Empire are remembered as some of the most tumultuous years in European history. What was once the mightiest state in the world bent beneath a myriad of tribal raids, economic failure and internal fragmentation. It is not in any way universally accepted by historians that it was solely the incursions of these so-called ‘barbarian’ tribes which saw the West ultimately crushed yet miraculously allowed the Eastern half of the empire to survive another millennium, in fact this outcome was probably due to a variety of factors. Yet it is clear the migration-fuelled assaults on the Roman world in the late 4th and 5th centuries had a far more devastating impact on the western provinces than those in the east. This essay will evaluate three key factors which explain to some extent the disparaging destinies between East and West Rome. Firstly, the slumping of the western economy in comparison with the Eastern Empire. Secondly, the internal strife which saw the west devolve into civil war and disjunction, weakening it to barbarian hostility. And finally, the external pressure as faced by both sides of the empire, as a succession of peoples from outside imperial Europe sought entry into the empire – peaceably or otherwise. It is likely a combination of all these elements as well as many others that led to the eventual usurpation of the old Roman heartlands by barbaric successor kingdoms.
