The Civilization Of Rome : The Transformation Of The Roman Empire

Three major civilization composed the classical empire. Classical Rome, Han China, and Gupta India all thrived at one point during this era, but with success also eventually came the fall of these three empires. Taking place at different times and due to different reasons, all three started to decline and eventually were too weak to defend themselves. The fall of the Roman Empire seemed to be more complex and due the many more little problems, by they all three fell apart due to unrest and problems created that could not be solved before it was ultimately too late.

Rome was once a powerful aristocracy empire that was feared and didn't want to mess with but down the line things went wrong time and time again like the negligence of the army, the constant natural disasters, and the treatment of their citizens, because of this happening Rome eventually fell and was no more.

In the beginning of the Roman Empire, the economy was booming and Pax Romana came and went. Rome began in 750 BC, and soon bringing power with it. The leaders in Rome changed from being a republic to being more military control. Their attitude on how to improve Rome was very military based and with great rulers to lead them. However, when Rome was coming to its end it was hard to control the Roman people and they were invaded by the Germanic tribes, but this rooted from a series of problems. Leaving the Roman empire to fall because of their military problems, political assassinations, and foreign invasions.

The fall of the Roman Empire is one of the most important and world-shaping events in history, but it provides more than just an interesting study of the past, it also holds many important lessons for Americans and the western world today.

Rome was a very successful empire for a long period of time, Rome had conquered a lot of land and had a powerful army. But everything good has an end to it. Economic disasters, military weakness, and weak leadership were all primary reasons that had led up to the fall or decline of Rome.

The end of the Roman republic was and very interesting point in time. This shows a period where there was neither any political or government stability throughout the civilization. From reading The book “ The Fall of The Roman Empire”, three reasons jumped out at me or the collapsing of this civilization. They were abuse of power , political corruption, and heavy military spending. The heavily military spending came from the Roman Empire capturing and invading other civilizations. In order for the Roman Empire to invade and conquer civilizations they would have to spend money to make sure that their soldiers are taken care of and that they are able to complete the task at hand. Most likely all of the soldiers in the roman army was not roman which means they had to recruit and deploy from rome of other lands of defenders and invaders. The romans expected the militia to protect their land and the land they have overpowered or captured. This requires a multitude of supplies and manufacturing of weaponry. The soldiers also had to have a place to sleep , they had to eat , and be supplied materials that can aid them when they were wounded or hurt. All of this spending on the military will lead to inflation of a civilization as it did the roman empire. Now the government will try to find a solution to this problem by raising taxes and making all types of laws that enables the citizens of rome to help sponsor the military. This will lead to riots and

In 509 B.C Rome became a republic, from there the Romans were expanding more and more every year. Over a 500 hundred year time period the Romans grew from a big city to a vast empire of many countries with a tremendous army. Rome changed over time because of when Rome change their government to a Republic, to allow their people to elect officials of the government, the important results for the Romans were getting wealthy from trade, and expanding Rome into a immense empire. First, when they formed the Republic it made a organized way to elect citizens to rule Rome. The second reason, is the road system they built. The wanted lots of money from all of their empire and they got from thousands of miles connected roadways. When Rome drove out their Etruscan ruler and formed a Republic, the Romans wanted to spread their beliefs, farther than Italy.

Rome was one major empire that has ever existed in time. It started as a republican empire, but as time went by, it became an actual empire. Many events, philosophies, and emperors lead Rome to be an empire. One idea lead Rome to its terrible era to being a successful turns of events. Religion became an important philosophy that all Romans started to believe in. As new religious beliefs spread throughout Rome. The past events leads Rome to their new religious beliefs.

Rome was one of the greatest empires to ever exist. It was the envy of the world. At its peak, it stretched from Western Europe to North Africa, throughout the Mediterranean area into Western Asia. 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.

In the later half of the fourth century the Western Roman Empire fell after nearly a five hundred years of dominance and is still widely considered the world’s greatest superpower (Andrews). Many people attribute the crumbling of the empire to multiple different reasons, like corrupt and insane leaders to overspending and inflation. As J.B Bury said once “the fall of the roman empire was a series of contingent events. In this paper we are going to cover the three main reasons. Political and Economical problems plus problems with the military(Wood).

Rome had a very successful empire, but unfortunately every good thing has to come to an end and I will explaining how the great Roman Empire came to an end. Of course, one thing didn’t cause the Fall of Rome there were many important issues that caused the end of Roman Domination of Europe. One of the most important issues were bad emperors. The most notorious Roman emperors were Caligula and Nero. Caligula was a very crazy man and wasn’t okay in the head, that would be a perfect explanation of why he appointed his favorite horse as consul instead of appointing a human being as consul. Nero was just downright evil he persecuted Christians and was blamed for setting a big fire that destroyed much Rome.

The once glorious Roman Empire slowly faded from riches to destitution. There were countless reasons for the tragic demise of the empire, but the most prevalent reason was the decline in political stability. In the absence of a stable government, there is chaos and stark division. We can see this in many societies in the past. Without a leader or group of officials to control and maintain order, the society ends up confused, and fighting occurs. They also would try to do things their own way, or they would all do nothing until their downfall. This was very evident in the Roman Empire due to the bad emperors who took charge and caused the political system to fail.

Julius Caesar , a Roman general and statesman he turned the Roman republic into a powerful Roman Empire. A coup ended his reign , and his powerful life , on the Ides Of March. He played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey formed a political alliance that was to dominate Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power through populist tactics were opposed by the conservative ruling class within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar 's victories in the Gallic Wars, completed by 51 BC, extended Rome 's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine. Caesar became the first Roman general to cross both when he built a bridge across the Rhine and conducted the first invasion of Britain.

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.

It is said that Rome was not built in a day. True. It took ambition, lust, murder and the unrivalled power of technology to make the Roman Empire span across three continents and many centuries. While the contributions of ambition, conquest and other political and militaristic factors remain important for the Roman Republic to transform into an Empire, none of this could have been possible without the immense contribution of engineering and technology. In this essay, we shall look into three engineering feats that I believe were crucial in building the Roman Empire. We shall be making use of the video “Rome: Engineering an Empire” as an aid towards the
