Who Is Emperor Leo V Overthrew?

Claudius was the third emperor of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty. He was born on 1 August 10 BC at Lagdunnum in Gaul. He was the son of Drusus Cladius Nero and Augustus’s wife Livia. But, he was then adopted by his uncle Tiberius. Claudius was born with defects that led him to limping, drooling, stuttering, and always being ill. His family members kept him out of the public so, there was no embarrassment. His whole childhood and teenage years was spent indoors, hidden away from everyone. He spent every day reading, which led him to learning liberal arts and history which helped him when he had more power.

Based on the video lessons, what were the reasons behind the conflicts between the emperors and the popes during this period: The main reason for strife between the popes and the holy Roman emperors starts with Fredrick Barbarossa realizing that the French and English Kings were beginning to wield a lot of power and that there was way too much decentralization going on in his Empire. Fredrick begins by trying to take the Northern Lombard states in Italy for their wealth. The Lombard states however are not really fans of being absorbed into the HRE, and the first seed of discord between the Emperor and Pope is sown when the Pope sides with the Lombard cities. Fredrick begins to support anti-papacy individuals, when he declares that Alexander

During rule of Emperor Justinian of the Eastern Roman Empire, a cycle of recurring plagues started in the year 541 A.D. This plague cycle would disappear and reappear in roughly eleven year cycles. The last strike of this plague cycle was in 747 in Naples. This series of plagues were called the Justinian plague named after Emperor Justinian’s rule and it is also referred to as the early medieval pandemic (EMP). The severity of this plague was high being that Procopius of Caesarea, a Urban Prefect of Constantinople stated that the plague “fell upon the whole world, yet just as many people escaped as had the misfortune to succumb- either because they escaped the infection altogether, or because they got over it if they happened to be

The Japanese-American author, Julie Otsuka, wrote the book When the Emperor was Divine. She shares her relative and all Japanese Americans life story while suffering during World War II, in internment camps. She shares with us how her family lived before, during, and after the war. She also shares how the government took away six years of Japanese-American lives, falsely accusing them of helping the enemy. She explains in great detail their lives during the internment camp, the barbed wired fences, the armed guards, and the harsh temperatures. When they returned home from the war they did not know what to believe anymore. Either the Americans, which imprisoned them falsely, or the emperor who they have been told constantly not to believe, for the past six years imprisoned. Japanese-Americans endured a great setback, because of what they experienced being locked away by their own government.

I disagree with a child’s whole future resting on just one test. That puts so much pressure on children to do well at such a young age. I can see why children get depressed, if

At the council, 338 members met to rule on the use of images to depict religious figures and ideas. This assembly, including Emperor Constantine and Leo, rules that “the unlawful art of painting living creatures blasphemed the fundamental doctrine of our salvation—namely, the Incarnation of Christ, and contradicted the six holy synods” (Iconoclastic Council, 1). The Iconoclastic Council bans the use of images and pictures to depict religious ideologies and figures because they feared that worshippers honored the image over the actual person, place, or thing represented. To support their argument, the council recalls the Holy Book in which God states, “Thou shall not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath…They changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,…and served the creature more than the Creator” (2). Unlike John, this council uses stronger textual evidence from the Holy Book in order to validate their argument against icons. Furthermore, they argued that “folly” painter constructed the icons to undermine the icons. Council members aimed to demonstrate the icons as evil creations because religious affiliates did not construct them. Nevertheless, the council banned all images, relics, and other representations of

Constantine the ruler of the Roman Empire had been surrounded by many controversies during his reign (Cameron, 14). He was the son of a great warrior and he defeated Manutius a great ruler at Milia Bridge. He had gained much respect and admiration among the Romans as a fair ruler. He emerged as a ruler who supported Christianity and then became popular as a Christian ruler himself. His reign and victory over the Roman Empire is a significant event in the history of Christian religion. With the Edict of Milan in 313 Christianity was recognized as a religion, and the followers were free to practice Christianity without fear. It has been argued that Constantine failed to treat different religions equally as paganism (Cameron, 57). Constantine also sponsored churches, promoted Christians to high government ranks, exempted taxes for the clergy. In the latter days of his rule Constantine had a stricter approach towards Christianity and professed that there is one God, the Christian God. He rewarded building temples into churches. He played a key role in framing important church policies namely The Council of Arles, A.D. 314 and The Council of Nicaea, A.D. 325.

The conversion of Roman Emperor, Constantine, marked the start of a reform that would change Rome forever. A once pagan society, Rome was one of the last to grasp the Christianity concept. The start of “Christianizing” Rome began with two of Jesus’ disciples, Peter and James, as well as the apostle Paul in the Roman province of Antioch during the first century ("New Women of Color Study Bible" 1742). From this, Christianity spread all over the province, by the time it got to Rome it was not widely practiced. It wasn’t until the reign of Constantine that Christianity took its place as the empires forefront religion. Since Rome was known for its worship and idolizing of gods, how and for what reasons did Constantine transform his subjects’ beliefs? According to authors, Ramsay MacMullen, John Curran, and A.H.M. Jones, a number of tactics were used to sway the masses’ minds. Use of coercion, money, and campaigns aided Constantine’s questionable Christian “cleanse”.

Byzantine Emperor Justinian was the bold architect of a revitalized Byzantine Empire that would leave a lasting legacy for Western Civilization. As much of Europe entered the Dark Ages, Justinian 's vision of a restored Roman Empire would reverse the decline of the Byzantine Empire and lay a firm foundation that would allow the Byzantine Empire to survive for centuries to come.

When the third triumvirate divided the Roman Empire after Caesar's death, Marcus Antonius was given domain over the eastern provinces. Foreseeing a future of warfare, Marcus Antonius intelligently appointed Lucius Verus to rule the eastern provinces alongside him. When the Parthian invasion occurred Marcus Antonius insured that he contributed his best generals and armies to recover his lost territories. The recovery was extremely successful that Marcus crowned a new vassel and conquered Mesopotamia which was also Parthian territory. One success led to another as Marcus and his son severely defeated the Marcomanni and the Quadi gaining Danubian provinces during the Marcomannic wars. Unfortunately, Lucius Verus died during these wars but that

I think if the Roman empire chose its new rulers more carefully there wouldn't have been emperors like Caligula, who got happiness in other peoples pain and suffering, maybe if they elected their rulers like they did in the Roman Republic, they could choose who would be the newest emperor. They could have also been able to tell if their new ruler had pure intentions. If the Roman Republic had a tighter voting system, they wouldn't have the richer men paying people to vote for them. That could potentially put the entire Republic at risk. Thankfully they could only have one term, so the people of Rome would only have to suffer for so long, but still. Maybe if there was a law that made sure no one would cheat at the voting system, it would be

I’m researching Leo l he was an Eastern Roman emperor for 457 to 474. He ruled the eastern roman part the Byzantine Empire. He had a supposedly 100,000 men in his army and a fleet of 1,113 ships. He was born on Jan 18 and he died Feb 3 474 at the age of 73. He married Verina. Leo also had 3 children. Leo became very unpopular in his last few days as an emperor for not abolishing any non-religious celebration or event on

Claudius (Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus) was a Roman emperor from 41 to 54. He was born at Lugdunum in Gaul on 1 August, the first Roman Emperor to be born outside Italy. He was a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty and he was also the son of Drusus and Antonio Minor. His family kept him from the public eye because of the fact that he had a limp and slight deafness due to being sick at a young age.

Iconoclasts went so far as to incite violence at the first attempt at a council, which led to a more careful placement of the second, which became the Second Council of Nicaea. The iconoclasts used theological arguments through established doctrine and Scripture to establish valid grounds upon which they justified their stance on the subject of icons. By doing this, they made it a necessity for an ecumenical council to respond, as do all matters of faith when they are contested by heretical thinking. The only way to safely put an end to the matter was to do what had been done at the Council of Hiereia, thus making it an official Church stance. If previous councils had been cited in the iconoclast attempt to justify the destruction of icons, the established decree of a new council would put an end to the claim that the Church had not ever validated the veneration of icons.

“The Last Emperor” was a very interesting film, rich in historical truth and an accurate portrayal of past events that occurred in China during the 1900s. The story was very easy to follow and gave a more modernized approach to teaching the impacts of historical proceedings by using the English language but not forgetting to keep the facts in order. This approach gave me the opportunity to see the different actors as if it were truly identical to what this time period was all about. Given that the plot was centralized around Puyi, the last Emperor of China, and the director did an excellent job making the movie fit the timeline.
