The Roman Empire

Some policies and institutions of the Roman Republic were useful to help them succeed in conquering first Italy and then the Mediterranean world. Before of the institution of the republic, the romans were a monarchy since their beginning and they were basically a pastoral people. Rome suffer several changes and improvements under the control of the Etruscan kings. The Etruscan were civilization settled north of Rome in Etruria, and they once had control over almost all the Italic peninsula. The Etruscans influences in Rome were profound, they transformed Rome from a pastoral community to a city (91). The Etruscan built the street and roads that help the development of temples, markets, shops, streets, and houses. They basically brought urbanization to Rome. It is fairly to say that the Rome republic was a fusion between the elements of the Etruscan civilization and the Rome elements. The combination of the different political institutions and policies made the Romans succeed in their conquest territories.

Many events played large roles in the middle ages. The fall of the Western Roman Empire occurred when the invading army named the Visigoths invaded Rome. For three days, they destroyed everything in their paths. Western Rome did not have effective royal progression. They set up officers as rulers, who were immediately removed by adversary petitioners. The reasons why Western Rome fell includes multiple invasions by Barbarian tribes, economic hardship, being too reliant on slave labor, government corruption and political instability, and lastly Christianity became popular and the traditional values of Rome were lost. Another important event was whenever Charlemagne became an emperor in Western Rome. In his quest of becoming an emperor, he became King of the

In 146 B.C.E. the Roman Republic marched on the city of Corinth, the most powerful and wealthiest city state at the time of the attack. The Romans easily conquered Corinth and established themselves as one of the most dominant forces the Mediterranean world had ever seen. The Romans were not finished yet, they gained control over the entire Mediterranean world, most of Western Europe, and many of the Asian territories taken over by Alexander the great. The Romans had great military institutions, powerful political views, the smarts, and learned many lessons on how to rule the large areas around them. The Romans expanded so greatly during the period of 300-50 B.C.E. because of the pure drive, and how badly they wanted to expand.

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.

The Roman Empire had stood strong for 500 years, lasting from 27 BC – 476 AD. What caused the downfall of The Roman Empire after it's been standing for so long? There was a lot of causing effects to the fall and decline of ancient Rome. People might say it was the bad rulers of Rome or will say it was because of high taxations, but these do not have the biggest impact, though it played a huge part in leading Rome to destruction. I believe what had the biggest impact on the fall of Rome was the Barbarian invasions that started to take place.

From invaders to weak rulers Rome as seen it all, but could they have prevented it? Rome used to have a strong army, and could fight off any invaders, but as time went on everyone in the city became weak. The rulers, army, and citizens all weakened. With basically no ruler and no one to protect Rome, the city had become soft. Some may say that foreign invasion was what caused Rome's decline, but the primary reasons for Rome's decline were their weak military and their political corruption. They made huge mistakes with the military, mistakes such as they got rid of armor and pared drills. Not only did they stop fighting practice, but the emperors didn't care about laws being broken. The ruler and the military were equally weak.

Rome was an amazing place to be,through the times of good, but it could not stay that way forever. There would be many problems that would cause the Roman empire to tragically fall. There were many key details that played a role in the fall of the Roman Empire, populations decrease, giant size, and leadership changes. Although there would be many problems Romans would fight till the end.

In the year of 510 B.C. was when the rise of the Roman Empire had began and it had ended on the 4 of September in 476, and that was the collapse of the actual Western Roman Empire. And an Empire is a rule over many territories or people by 1 government. As Rome grew and grew it began to gain an even better empire. The Romans had great pride because of how much lands Rome had controlled around the Mediterranean which they soon named the Mediterranean “mare nostrum” or just “our sea”. The Roman architecture and art that was considered early was actually copied by the Etruscans.

Sulla and his legions swiftly restored order to Rome, and power to the Senate. Prices were put on the heads of popular leaders, like Marius, and Sulpicius was actually tossed off

The Roman Republic was a “democratic” republic, which allowed first citizens to vote, and to choose their governors in the senate (Hence, their consuls). However, it was a nation ruled by its aristocracy, and, consequently, the entire Republic`s power was concentrated in a few individuals. Furthermore, the Senate was controlled by Patricians, which directed the government by using wealth to buy control and power over the decisions of the senate and the consuls. This situation aroused the inconformity of the people; as result, a civil war took place in the Republic (destroying it), and then the Roman Empire was born.

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.

The Roman Empire includes most of what would now be considered Western Europe. They don’t concord in one day but by a group of people known the Latin's or Romans, but the empire was concord by the Roman army and the wealthy Romans became wealthier from the taxing and looting of conquered lands, and many in the lower classes continued to work hard for very little, despite the prosperous empire.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Eternal City went through a series of political and social changes that ultimately contributed to the image of the city that is present today. The process of renovation of Rome began in the eleventh and twelfth centuries with the church reform and continued through the Renaissance, a period that would eventually combine the new power structure with the city's ancient essence.

The roots of the modern university as places of higher learning can trace its roots to the Medieval period in the remnants of the Roman Empire. Although the decedents of the once great empire and their subsequent learning systems (Byzantine and European) produced highly intellectual minds and prolific writings in the fields of theology, philosophy and more, only one of these regions intellectual structures grew to greatness and prestige that are now some of the world’s greatest colleges. How did these civilizations differ in the way education was handled and viewed, particularly by rulers, and what factors lead to their downfall/rise? This question will help explain how the Byzantine civilization, an empire seen as highly wealthy,

At its height, the Roman Empire was the most powerful domain in the world. It was at its largest in the second century AD and it spread across three continents. This Empire had diverse languages and cultures. Nevertheless by the 3rd century A.D, Romans were on swift decline. This fast decline was caused by extreme changes in their civilization. The changes consisted of new leaders controlling the region, Rome becoming spilt up into two sections, and Christianity gaining all of religious control. There was very much a rapid downfall with many more changes as well, such as the spread of Roman law and trade .Many people say that decline is what made Rome so famous today.
