The Ancient Roman Empire

Ancient Rome is known for some of the most powerful leaders, rulers, and kings to ever walk the earth. With many powerful leaders came many different political styles, ideas, and philosophies ranging from the democracy we have in America today to power driven tyrants consumed by their greed for new land and more cities to rule.

     Not only was Rome highly influential back in its prime, but many of its ideals are still remaining strong in some form or another. A perfect example of this is the United States. Even in the "Pledge of Allegiance" there are traces of Rome. For part of it states that; "? By the republic for which it stands?" this says that this country is ran under a republic. Just as Rome in its first five hundred year reign. We have adopted the same thought that through our senators, who are elected by the people, a better country can be developed. This is an almost exact adoption of the Roman states system that implies a highly centralized government can run an entire nation effectively.

The Ancient Roman Empire left a huge imprint on the world. Its achievements and accomplishments are still used and recognized today. Its vast empire was full of Scholars and Philosophers and many of them created great things. Many of the things they created or improved on are essential to our daily lives and we’d live totally differently if it wasn’t for them. The Romans were responsible for spreading Latin, creating the base for modern law, spreading Christianity, and creating a modern infrastructure.

The Roman Empire was one of the most popular empires that there ever was. It was also one of the largest as it went as far as Memphis in the South and Europe in the North (document 3). The empire’s location was not the best. Water practically surrounded the entire empire. The Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and Caspian Sea were all ports of water around it. However, that did not hold back the empire’s power, as it quickly adapted and used it to their advantage. Sea trade, deep harbors, and roads are a few of the ways that the Roman Empire used their location to help themselves.

Throughout history many civilizations and empires have been considered great. The greatest empire ever was Ancient Rome. Starting in 509 B.C.E and lasting until 476 C.E (Ancient Rome and the Rise of Christianity, 1000 BCE–500 CE,). Ancient Rome started off as a small town on central Italy’s Tiber river and ended up expanding all the way to most Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, Northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands (Ancient Rome). Ancient Rome helped spread many languages, the western alphabet, the modern calendar and the religion of christianity all around the globe (Ancient Rome). They are the most powerful and dominating empire throughout history. Ancient Rome was the greatest empire throughout history.

Rome began in 31 BCE when Augustus Caesar became the first emperor of Rome, and the Roman empire was a significant and powerful western civilization with a complex political, religious, and social system by 117 CE (Mark, Roman Empire). From the parallel streets in cities of the Roman empire to the layout of the Roman forum to the living structures of the different classes, the Roman empire at this time was highly organized and methodical. And these are but a few examples of the power and authority of the Roman empire, which clearly put the citizens in their place. Looking at Rome and Pompeii, ancient art, building structures, and city layouts clearly stratified citizens based on economic and social status.

Rome was once a great beautiful kingdom. Ruled by many emperors and has taken bold and great actions. But following up with those actions lead to big problems. This made Rome get weaker and weaker, causing Rome to have a great downfall ending their history. But Rome’s great accomplishments and failures are still looked upon

The Roman Empire is well known throughout the world. Rome is known for many things, like being one of the longest lasting empires and its progressive ways of thinking for the time. Both of those reasons are true, however the Roman government was really the jewel of the empire.

Throughout the early years CE, and even a little back before BCE, many empires rose to power over Europe and northern Africa. However, when thinking of the most dominant empire of all time, the Roman Empire may come to mind. The Romans simply dominated the battlefield for hundreds of years. The Romans went through many hard-fought battles, conquests, and wars to achieve their dominance, and influenced the world forever with their technology, governments, war tactics, trade, and more. The Roman Empire changed the world entirely through its advancements, and proved itself to be the greatest conquering empire of all time.

Rome has immortalized itself in history through its revolutionary innovations and discoveries. America has used Rome as the template for their nation, creating an empire that has lasted for

What kind of technology in the Roman Empire affect its growth the most? I will be investigating from the start of the Roman Empire in 753 BCE to when the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 CE. This investigation will have a broad scope while investigating and include things from the Roman Legion to aqueducts and concrete. This investigation will not include technology that was not widely used to better the Roman Empire. The research question will answer my question by conducting research on how different groups of technology made the Roman Empire better based off of their potential uses and different contributions to Roman society.

Justin was akin to a father to Justinian, he gave him salvation where he struggled and practically reinvigorated his will to learn and do well in the world. While Justin enabled Justinian to learn and become an amazing man, he also attempted to find his way into the seat of the throne while the rule was weak. Justin had very obviously failed seeing as he was NOT fit to be a ruler, he was not an intelligent man after all. Justinian witnessed his uncle’s failure and was able to learn from the experience and, using his position as the King’s bodyguard (Citation), intelligence and military experience, weaseled his way into the throne, and into the position of King.

They had many great inventions that were innovated and are still used today. But the factors that caused the fall of this great empire were pretty few and could have been avoided.
