Servian Wall

During the Warring States Period more walls were built to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. Qin Shi Huang united the various parts into one empire and had all the walls joined up to defend off the invasions from northern invaders.

Between 500 BCE and 500 CE, the Roman civilization experienced changes both politically and culturally. Firstly, Rome’s government transitioned from a Republic to an Empire. Later, that empire was split into two parts; east and west. In terms of changes in culture, it was impacted by the shift in religion, as the Romans shifted from polytheism to monotheism. Despite all the changes, Rome still remained culturally diverse.

The Ulu Burun shipwreck is often referred as one of the wealthiest shipwrecks ever discovered. At the moment of sinking, the ship was carrying over 20 tons of cargo (Holloway 2014). In total, more than 18,000 spectacular artifacts have been recovered, including precious jewels, luxurious raw materials, and even the gold seals of Egyptian Queen Nefertiti (Holloway 2014). Certain materials are better maintained underwater compared to on land. “In anaerobic, cold and dark conditions underneath waterlogged sediments, organics, such as plants, leather, fabric and wood may be preserved” (Crystalinks 2010). The most important discoveries were the raw materials found on the ship such as copper, tin, and resin. Since these raw

The fact that the wall is still able to be found and that we are learning about the lives of the people in ancient times as well as their abilities to overcome great challenges should inspire those of today to dream big and accept the help of others to meet those challenges. So the wall was both defensive thanks to the military and a project not only for the Roman soldiers, but for the local populations and as they worked together the wall became more than a simple place but a home and a place for everyone to have pride

Rome is known for its’ empire (The Roman Empire). Rome started out small and ended up becoming this huge and undefeatable force of nature. Rome received their success by either attacking other nearby towns/neighbors or granting them treaties or citizenships. E. Badien, the author who created an article called, The Organization Of Italy, explains how Rome organized Italy, and got their neighboring cities and nations to join them and turn ancient Italy into a leading state of power. In Badien’s observations, he finds that granting citizenship and the Latin’s helped Rome to become powerful and assisting Italy to be more structured.

The book A History of Rome was written in the 1920’s and published in the US. It originated from the research and thoughts of Tenney Frank, a multilingual professor at John Hopkins University. Its purpose was to inform the general public but specifically, people that have an interest in the politics and culture of ancient Rome. He also said that his book is for use in college classes because there was a shortage of books on the topic in his time. It attempts to give a consecutive story rather than paragraphed facts. A value of this source is that it goes in great depth and is very comprehensive. This is valuable because this book contains details not included in other sources. It

The ancient city of Rome was filled with fantastic architecture and ever-changing rulers, which led to many differences in the city from year to year. Rome is responsible for many cultural and technological advances that are still used today, but it was not without problems. Many Roman writers from that time had their own views on Rome, however, which they would use in their writing. Two such writers are Juvenal and Augustus, both of which had their own perspectives of Rome. Their descriptions are both so different that it calls to question, which of their accounts is correct and which is not. Res Gestae by Augustus does not provide an accurate description of Rome, mainly due to the fact that Augustus was listing his own

Ancient Rome in 338 BC had finally defeated the alliance between the Latin Cities, which then allowed her to gain control over Latium. From here she began forming alliances and conquered many states in Italy. Through the vital cooperation, attribution to military success by providing men for the Roman army, and protection that her allies offered, Rome’s boundaries were pushed further. Her expansion had spread from her immediate surrounding areas of the Mediterranean until her power stretched out both east, west and south of the actual city of Rome (149 BC). Therefore, Rome’s successful expansion is due to the loyalty of her allies.

During the early period of the Roman Empire, there was a significant divide between the citizens who were native to Italy, particularly from Rome itself and citizens whose families traced their origins to more far-flung regions of the empire (Harrington, Jan.-May 2013). In contrast, political power had moved to areas nearer to imperial borders by the third and fourth centuries demonstrating the idea of what a true “Roman” was had widened to accept the peoples who lived in these areas not just as citizens but as part of the upper tier of society.

Many ancient civilizations have had everlasting impacts on the modern world. It is Rome though that has had the most considerable and prominent influence when connecting both the ancient and modern world. Edited by Isabella Marinaro and Bjørn Thomassen, Global Rome: Changing Faces of the Eternal City introduces the idea that, “Rome is not only a system of economic interrelations or a knot in a hierarchy of world cities. In this symbolic and imaginary respect, Rome is first of all an icon, a brand, and a globally famous one” (29 Global Rome). To appreciate how Rome has been used as both an icon and brand throughout time, it is crucial to focus on the mythological stories that have been a prominent factor in defining the foundation of Rome. This

The early influences of Rome, according to the text, were the people of Etruia and Greece. It is said that it all started in the southernmost Etruscan centers[1].

Chapter 4 Chapter Review Geography influenced the Greeks and Roman, as it did many other civilizations. The location of Greece was on a peninsula. This gave it plenty access to ports which enabled Greece to trade with lots of other peoples. Although in times of war they could be pushed further into the peninsula with nothing but sea all around them. This forced them to create ships and other seafaring vessels.
