Who Is Emperor Leo V Overthrew?

The theory of the weak Roman Emperors was one of the top three reasons for the fall of Rome because its vast empire fell due to the weak and unstable government that was established by the emperors who ruled during the fifty year period that lasted from 235 C.E. to 285 C.E. A powerful empire consisted of a long-lasting and strong government that was supported by a ruler who was present to rule over the people and had the will to carry out reforms to improve the lives of citizens. In Document A, the chart stated that twenty-two different emperors ruled Rome within the fifty year period. Based on this fact specified by the chart, there was an unstable government that ruled the Roman empire. Because of the weak government that was created, citizens

Rome could have likely grew and lasted for a lot longer than it did. It faced many problems and challenges that they overcame. It had one of the most powerful armies in the world of that time. Rome started to decline due mainly to inner weaknesses and problems.    

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.

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

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

Have you ever waged war against your wife? Caesar Octavian Augustus did. Augustus was a great leader. Leaders are necessary because they need to show leadership amongst the people and unite the people as one doing anything to keep them safe. Caesar Octavian Augustus was one of Rome’s greatest leaders by showing that at the age of 19, he can rule one of the most powerful nations by any means including war (http://www.pbs.org/empires/romans/empire/augustus.html)

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

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.

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 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

The reason for this reflection is to review what has happened in a deeper level than just summarizing what has happened over the course of this project. During the weeks learned some things, not just from the book that I was reading, but also from participating in a group. The lessons I learned led to my group being successful in the few goals that were created. All of the goals were met in different ways whether it would be just finishing the book or us getting up in front of the whole class to present the google slides that we created.

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”.

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.

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
