The Growth Of Rome And The Roman Empire

The great Roman Empire expanded across all of Europe and into the Middle East. Its military was one of the finest. With major trading in Africa and Britain, the economy flourished with brining many citizens a healthy income. With amazing advancements in culture and technology, Roman society was at its finest. During the Pax Romana, the Romans had 200 years of peace and good ruling by level headed dictators and emperors. Despite Rome’s greatness in all of these areas, Rome would eventually fall. Surprisingly all of these qualities that led up to a flourishing empire were the same ones that led to its demise. As Germanic tribes invaded, the military weakened and the government became unstable.

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 Roman Empire was, overall, an immensely successful and innovative empire; this success derived from the implementation of the Christianity religion, spreading of Romanization so that Roman subjects were united and had Roman rights, and the economical and technological advancements that flourished under the period of Pax Romana. While these benefited the Roman Empire greatly and made Rome a prosperous civilization, Rome gradually weakened and, conclusively, fell. The eventual and definite decline of Rome was caused by excessive territorial expansion, economic issues, and foreign invasions.

Rome as we know it was not built in a day. It took years for the vastest empire of its time to become what we know it as today. Rome was an impressive military power and was organized in how they handled their affairs. The success of Rome comes down to a few major factors, such as, the strong leadership of Rome, the way they handled conquered lands as well as technological advancement. These factors can be seen as the foundation of the successes of the Roman Empire and were later taken on by successive empires and countries later on. However, out of all of these factors, one of them played a more crucial role in the success of the Roman Empire. The strong leadership of Rome can be said to be the most influential cause of the achievements of

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 Roman Empire was successful because of their strong willed leaders that helped shaped their country until the very end. One of the leaders was Marius, who properly organized the Roman army to be known as the most strongest army the earth has ever known. With Marius's fighting spirit leading and motivating everybody on, they were able to stop an invasion from barbarians that ultimately saved Italy and Rome from destruction. He also knew how to pay back to his soldiers and people. Veteran soldiers of the legion were given land to thank the soldiers for serving him and Rome. To help the people, Marius made it possible for non-Roman citizens to enlist in the army, making them citizens and giving them a chance to fight for their country.

Rome at the beginning was just a small city built on hills, but soon enlarged to one of the largest empires around the world. Located in the middle of the Mediterranean, it was a prime spot for trade and was influenced by surrounding areas such as Greece. In ancient Rome, the city became a Republic and prospered as an Empire expanding to 3.5 million square miles at its height. As ancient Rome continued to grow from the Republic to the Empire between 509 BCE and 476 CE, culturally the acceptance of a new monotheistic religion, Christianity emerged, changing from the previous polytheistic religions and the army changed from a citizen soldier to a standing army. The continuous civil unrest of the poor due to the troubled economy remained throughout Rome’s period.

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.

The Roman Empire was one of the most well known empires in history. It was the most powerful of all of the empires and covered at least a part of over fifty present-day countries. It covered the most area out of all of the empires in history. Other than the Spartans, the Roman Empire had the most powerful army of the ancient world and contained over 20% of the world population back then. The Roman’s ingenuity created many inventions as well, such as the arch, which, with aqueducts, would revolutionize the transport of water and other supplies across the empire. The Roman Empire was the strongest in ancient times, and contained almost all of modern day Europe in its

The Roman Empire was known as one of the greatest civilizations, their society, politics, and military skills were extremely advanced even for their time. From starting off as the Roman Kingdom, then The Roman Republic, and finally ending with the Roman Empire, Rome itself has been through many drastic changes. And throughout all three changes there has always been social and political disorder. Each stage of Rome only came about because of the fall of the one before it, in all three case political corruptions and social chaos was the reason for their failures. Although Rome had many problems, they had multiple achievements. One of their greatest achievements was their large military and military strategy. From the late Roman Republic to the

The Roman Empire was one of the greatest, and well-rounded civilization in ancient times. What made them so great was their knowledge that they received from the Greeks and their ability to grow from what they learned. The Romans did not start off with a dictator, they had elected people to power. In the early years of the republic of Rome, this allowed them to grow. Starting off in the middle of Italy and eventually conquering all territories around the Mediterranean Sea. There are several factors that made Rome great, and their stability and longevity as a power house is worth talking about

The Roman Empire is considered one of the most powerful empire in history. It influenced many cultures and societies. The Roman army was feared throughout Europe because it was vast in size. Even though it had many problems throughout its reign, it had lasted for over five hundred years The Roman Empire demonstrated the strength needed to rule so many other countries and cities, setting the foundation for other governments (modeling for other countries?) .

Rome’s dominance can be explained by numerous factors. Let’s look back to 509 BCE when king Tarquin was forced out of power, the republic was formed, and numerous wars began. Later on his history Romans spread their culture and ideals through the Mediterranean world. Romans did not just dominate in war, they would share political power the territories and countries it conquered. Rome’s people and senate was the source of their power. The Roman senate took on problems that were existent in everyday life; they did this through the creation of various legal principles and institutions. For instance look at the constitution passed in 509 BCE, it was truly a change for the better, the last was merely a compilation of unwritten laws. At first Roman domination was to secure its place in the world and not for the simple fact of expanding. The Roman class structure had radically changed over the years, one could move between classes because it was no longer determined by ones birth.

In the late Roman Republic, the external expansion of early Rome was a surprise to many. The era of the great expansion of Roman power and civilization is the era of the Roman Republic, in which its Senate ruled Rome and its assembly, which were establishments, formed at the beginning of the monarchy. The Republic had a history of many conflicts, aiding the Republic in becoming so powerful, thus making Rome become unstoppable. But as we all know from the conflicts that aroused in the past with many other large city-states and Empire’s, with incredible power comes many dilemmas. The development of early Rome was fundamental to the rise and fall of the political and economic developments of the late Roman Republic.

The Roman Empire conquered numerous territories during its rule and was able to hold control of these lands enough to become a successful empire. The main contributing factors to its expansion and maintaining of its lands were its well-formed army, its location, and slave labor. As stated in the text, “Rome’s central location in Italy and the Mediterranean and its ability to draw on the man power resources of Italy were important factors of its rise.” (p. 156) the excerpt elaborates on the point of location and man power, or slave labor, being main factors in the expansion of Rome. The location of Rome offered navigable rivers and a mild climate, which was good for growing crops, the location was also in the center of many crossroads, opening
