The Vandals

The Romans resisted an outbreak from the Germans in the late fourth century, but later on the city of Rome was expelled by Visigoth King Alaric. The Empire went through numerous decades under threat until the Empire was invaded once again by the Vandals. In 476, finally the Germanic leader executed a revolution and dethroned Emperor Romulus Augustulus. Since then, not one Roman emperor shall rule Italy again. This led many to agree

“Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that it is now overwhelmed by its own greatness.”- Titus Livius. Rome is the well evolved capital of Italy, founded in 753 BC by the twin brothers Romulus and Remus. This magnificent city was once ruled by Julius Caesar who played a critical role in ending the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman empire. The famous Roman philosopher, Marcus Tullius Cicero who lived in Rome, contributed many philosophical works, speeches, and letters to the world. The

When one thinks about the Pope today, there is an image of an elderly man in robes who kisses babies, makes broad statements about the policies or beliefs of the church, and travels around the world meeting with the leaders of the world and the church. If one confers with Merriam-Webster, the word “pope” is defined as “the head of the Roman Catholic Church,” a definition that falls in line with the thoughts of many, perhaps even most, people today.

Within Rome not many people would have spent money to stimulate the economy due to the Rich leaving cities and the poor having high taxes that they could not pay. Whatever trade Rome exported was disrupted by the Vandals, and all of these problems would lead up to Western Rome having an economic crisis that left them weak to surrounding barbarian tribes that invaded Rome, and faced its fall near the end of the fifth century. Some historians believe that the Roman

It will look at statistics for crime in urban and rural areas and see whether there is any difference.

on their commander and killed him. In search of a successor, many of the generals in the Roman army fought each other in a bid to gain control of the empire and in doing so, neglected their duties. As a result, foreign tribes such as the Goths and Vandals frequently raided certain parts of the empire taking food and other materials. One of the most profound and lasting effects of the third century crisis was the disruption of Rome’s extensive internal trade network. Since the beginning of the third

I believe that if churches were able to put up security cameras to catch the outside vandals, and even though it would not prevent all of the crimes, I believe that it would help

Where the Huns originated from has been a hot Topic for centuries. Some Historians believe they came from either China, Mongolia, or far eastern Russia. According to —- “The Huns, especially those who migrated to the west may have a combination of central Asian Turk, Mongolic, and Ugric stocks”. Mundzuk, the father of Attila, was brothers to both king Octar and Rugila who ruled over the Hunnic empire in the fifth century. Two relatives ruling was common among the Huns, it was not required, but it

Many factors led to the transition from a republic to an empire, no one event or person is to blame. For one the Roman Republic constitution was never really laid out for conquest with wealthy oversea territories so the addition of more provinces caused the delicate balance within the political constitution the begin to collapse. The Romans had a fatal flaw: they were great in warfare changes but when it came to political changes, they were pretty hard-headed. Their refusal to adapt to political

Political Correctness, commonly referred to as P.C., is a culture that, as it is commonly observed and executed, is counterproductive to its’ “goals”, having the potential to cause harm. In this paper, we shall assess views of the culture, both positive and negative, accounting for the actions taken by those that claim to abide by it, using groups prominent in it’s use as prime examples. We shall also assess the recorded history of the culture, looking at what people in the past have done with it
