      I thinnk that rome saw its terrotory expand during the 450 b.c . Also that i think its is very good that during the first 2 centuries rome expanded to the point of dominating Italy. Also I think that Rome is a very big place and it should have more territorys. I think this because it is a very historical place.

      The land known as Italy today has many European cultures and people. Such as the Etruscans and the Romans. Later it was an important part of the Renaissance. And also played a big part in the development of modern science and astronomy.

  • Roman Republic was the phase of the ancient Roman civilization characterized by a republican form of government; a period which began with the overthrow of the Roman monarchy, c. 509 BC, and lasted over 450 years until its subversion, through a series of civil wars, into the Principate form of government and the Imperial period.

      I think that it should have lasted atleast 50 more years. This way it would have been 500 years b.c. . Also I think that the ancient roman civilazation over threw the roman monarchy becuase they were tired of the same thing. I also think that they wanted a change after soo long.

      Romans once had kings but when they had to overthrown their roman monarchy they thought it would be best to just have the roman senate. Now Romans hate kings. Roman leaders never considered themselves as kings. Did you know here in America everyone says we are a democracy but all our presidents except Abraham Lincoln never considered us a democracy?

      I think they did not want anyone having complete power.Becuase they were scared they might do many things wrong.But i would agree with that too becuase i would not want anyone telling me what to do or i would die.

  • Main articles: Latin literature, Roman art, Roman music, and Roman architecture Roman literature was from its very inception influenced heavily by Greek authors. Some of the earliest works we possess are of historical epics telling the early military history of Rome. As the republic expanded, authors began to produce poetry, comedy, history, and tragedy. Virgil represents the pinnacle of Roman epic poetry. His Aeneid tells the story of flight of Aeneas from Troy and his settlement of the city that would become Rome. Lucretius, in his On the Nature of Things, attempted to explicate science in an epic poem. The genre of satire was common in Rome, and satires were written by, among others, Juvenal[92] and Persius. The rhetorical works of Cicero are considered to be some of the best bodies of correspondence recorded in antiquity. In the 3rd century BC, Greek art taken as booty from wars became popular, and many Roman homes were decorated with landscapes by Greek artists. Portrait sculpture[93] during the period utilized youthful and classical proportions, evolving later into a mixture of realism and idealism. Advancements were also made in relief sculptures, often depicting Roman victories. Detail of a mosaic found in Pompeii. The figure on the left is playing the double aulos, double-reed pipes; the figure in the middle, cymbalum, small, bronze cymbals; and on the right, the tympanum, a tambourine-like drum. Music was a major part of everyday life. The word itself derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses".[94] Many private and public events were accompanied by music, ranging from nightly dining to military parades and maneuvers. In a discussion of any ancient music, however, non-specialists and even many musicians have to be reminded that much of what makes our modern music familiar to us is the result of developments only within the last 1,000 years; thus, our ideas of melody, scales, harmony, and even the instruments we use would not be familiar to Romans who made and listened to music many centuries earlier. Over time, Roman architecture was modified as their urban requirements changed, and the civil engineering and building construction technology became developed and refined. The Roman concrete has remained a riddle, and even after more than 2,000 years some Roman structures still stand magnificently.[95] The architectural

  • The city of Rome had a place called the Campus Martius ("Field of Mars"), which was a sort of drill ground for Roman soldiers. Later, the Campus became Rome’s track and field playground. In the campus, the youth assembled to play and exercise, which included jumping, wrestling, boxing and racing. Riding, throwing, and swimming were also preferred physical activities.

  • Roman religious beliefs date back to the founding of Rome, around 800 BC. However, the Roman religion commonly associated with the republic and early empire did not begin until around 500 BC, when Romans came in contact with Greek culture, and adopted many of the Greek’s religious beliefs. Private and personal worship was an important aspect of religious practices. In a sense, each household was a temple to the gods. Each household had an altar (lararium), at which the family members would offer prayers, perform rites, and interact with the household gods. Many of the gods that Romans worshiped came from the Proto-Indo-European pantheon, others were based on Greek gods. The two most famous deities were Jupiter (the king God) and Mars (the god of war). With its cultural influence spreading over most of the Mediterranean, Romans began accepting foreign gods into their own culture, as well as other philosophical traditions such as Cynicism and Stoicism

  • During this period, an army formation of around 5,000 men (of both heavy and light infantry) was known as a legion. The manipular army was based upon social class, age and military experience.[104] Maniples were units of 120 men each drawn from a single infantry class. The maniples were typically deployed into three discreet lines based on the three heavy infantry types. Each first line maniple were leather-armoured infantry soldiers who wore a brass breastplate and a brass helmet adorned with 3 feathers approximately 30 cm (12 in) in height and carried an iron-clad wooden shield. They were armed with a sword and two throwing spears. The second

  • According to the more or less legendary traditional accounts, Rome's republican era began after the overthrow of the last Roman King

      The Romans disliked Kings. The Romans overthrew the last Roman King. They knew that if they still had a King, the King will get to controlled. Romans formed the 1st Roman Republic, that lasted for 500 years.
    • Gabriela Morales
       
      In 509 BC they had to overthrow their king. Ever since that the romans thought it would be better to live without just one king ruling everything. The problem was that when they had a king they have the power to do something so they could do what ever they want and take advantage of that power. After that Romans hated kings. You know whats cool I recently found out that the word dictator came from the Romans and the Romans only had dictators when it was and emergency. A king only has one year as to America the presidents have 4.
  • The Romans' Latin language
    • ashley hernandez
       
      The Latin language is very similiar to spanish. For example, "agua" in Latin it is "aqua." Latinos like some of us have been very infuenced with the Romans. I think their language was not even a language because it was just added syllables to end of the word.
    • Mark Ramos
       
      Once the romans empire has fallen the latin language soon had began to become a dead language
    • kimberly torres
       
      the roman language is more like the languages we talk today for example spanish english portuges italian..but the roman language does no longer excist..that is why we speak latin well a dirrent latin than what they doo...
    • Gabriela Morales
       
      The romans spoke latin but the country that spoke similar to the romans were italians. Yes, Latinos had come from the romans (latin). As it said in the article the Romans' latin languag influenced across Europe and the world. So when you think of languages like italian,portuaguese or even spanish think of the romans.

  • In times of military emergency, a dictator
    • ashley hernandez
       
      The dictator term was 1 year for wars. No general was allowed to enter the city of Rome with their army. They knew if they let the army enter they might invade Rome. They had good reasons to do it.
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      Also to pick the dictator they woluld pick the best general. The dictatror would only take charge for one year because some would love the power and try to become king. But the Roman hated kings so if that happened they would be killed. If the dictator dies or gets sick they would be replaced with another dictator, but that dictator would only compelete the time that needed to be filled.
    • Gabriela Morales
       
      In Ancient Rome though they hated kings when it was a military emergency they picked like a military leader to step in. They only had one year as to America we have four if you are president. The reason they had dictators was that if like a country wanted to invade Ancient Rome the king could declare what to do which is pretty good if it's a military leader because they would know exactly what to do. That is also where to word dictator came from.

  • Rome also saw its territory expand dramatically during this period, from central Italy to the entire Mediterranean world. During the first two centuries, Rome's influence expanded to cover the whole of Italy. During the next century, Rome's military muscle and developing economy dominated North Africa, Spain, Greece, and what is now southern France. During the last two centuries of the Roman Republic, Rome overcame resistance across the rest of modern France, as well as much of Anatolia and Syria.

  • The first Roman republican wars were wars of both expansion and defence, aimed at protecting Rome itself from neighbouring cities and nations and establishing its territory in the region.[123] Initially, Rome's immediate neighbours were either Latin towns and villages,[124] or else tribal Sabines from the Apennine hills beyond. One by one Rome defeated both the persistent Sabines and the local cities that were either under Etruscan control or else Latin towns that had cast off their Etruscan rulers.[125] Rome defeated Latin cities in the Battle of Lake Regillus in 496 BC,[124][126] the Battle of Mons Algidus in 458 BC, the Battle of Corbione in 446 BC,[127][128] the Battle of Aricia,[129] and an Etruscan city in the Battle of the Cremera in 477 BC,[130][131]

  • Pompey's death did not result in an end to the civil war as Caesar's enemies were manifold and continued to fight on. In 46 BC Caesar lost perhaps as much as a third of his army, but ultimately came back to defeat the Pompeian army of Metellus Scipio in the Battle of Thapsus, after which the Pompeians retreated yet again to Iberia. Caesar then defeated the combined Pompeian forces at the Battle of Munda.

  • The Roman military was split into the Roman army and the Roman navy, although these two branches were less distinct than they tend to be in modern defence forces.

  • The native language of the Romans was Latin. Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin , an artificial and highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the actual spoken language was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar, vocabulary, and eventually pronunciation. Rome's expansion spread Latin throughout Europe, and over time Vulgar Latin evolved and dialectized in different locations, gradually shifting into a number of distinct Romance languages.[91] Many of these languages, including French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish, flourished, the differences between them growing greater over time. Although English is Germanic rather than Romanic in origin, English borrows heavily from Latin and Latin-derived words.

  • It was the People of Rome - and thus the assemblies - who had the final say regarding the election of magistrates,[8] the enactment of new laws,[9] the carrying out of capital punishment, the declaration of war and peace, and the creation (or dissolution) of alliances.[8] There were two types of legislative assemblies. The first was the comitia ("committees"),[10] which were assemblies of all citizens. The second was the concilia ("councils"), which were assemblies of specific groups of citizens.[11]

  • The assembly of the tribes, the Comitia Tributa, was presided over by a consul,[12] and was composed of thirty-five tribes. The tribes were not ethnic or kinship groups, but rather geographical subdivisions.[15] The order that the thirty-five tribes would vote in was selected randomly by lot.[16] Once a measure received support from a majority of the tribes, the voting would end. While it did not pass many laws, the Comitia Tributa did elect quaestors, curule aediles, and military tribunes.

  • The constitutional history of the Roman Republic can be divided into five phases. The first phase began with the revolution which overthrew the monarchy in 510 BC. The final phase ended with the revolution which overthrew the Roman Republic, and thus created the Roman Empire, in 27 BC. Throughout the history of the republic, the constitutional evolution was driven by the struggle between the aristocracy and the ordinary citizens.

  • [edit] The Conflict of the Orders (367-287 BC) After the plebeian aedileship had been created, the patricians created the curule aedileship.[35] After the consulship had been opened to the plebeians, the plebeians were able to hold both the dictatorship and the censorship. In 337 BC, the first plebeian praetor was elected.[36] In 342 BC, two significant laws were passed . One of these two laws made it illegal to hold more than one office at any given point in time. The other law required an interval of ten years to pass before any magistrate could seek reelection to any office.[37]
  • [edit] The legion after the reforms of Gaius Marius (107 BC – 27 BC) In a process known as the Marian reforms, Roman consul Gaius Marius carried out a programme of reform of the Roman military.[112] In 107 BC, all citizens, regardless of their wealth or social class, were made eligible for entry into the Roman army. This move formalised and concluded a gradual process that had been growing for centuries, of removing property requirements for military service.[113] The distinction between the three heavy infantry classes, which had already become blurred, had collapsed into a single class of heavy legionary infantry. The heavy infantry legionaries were drawn from citizen stock, while non-citizens came to dominante the ranks of the light infantry. The army's higher-level officers and commanders were still drawn exclusively from the Roman aristocracy.[114] Unlike earlier in the Republic, legionaries were no longer fighting on a seasonal basis to protect their land.η[›] Instead, they received standard pay, and were employed by the state on a fixed-term basis. As a consequence, military duty began to appeal most to the poorest sections of society, to whom a salaried pay was attractive. A destabilising consequence of this development was that the proletariat "acquired a stronger and more elevated position"[115] within the state.

If the censors went to war both of them would have to go not one cause if one dies in war the other one that sdoot back would have all the power of rome. the censors would have to agree on the laws that they liked if one didnt like the other ones law that throw that law out. both of the censors contraled the army.

Library of Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 15 views

  • As for the Museum, Mostafa El-Abbadi writes in Life and Fate of the Ancient Library of Alexandria (Paris 1992): “ The Mouseion, being at the same time a 'shrine of the Muses', enjoyed a degree of sanctity as long as other pagan temples remained unmolested. Synesius of Cyrene, who studied under Hypatia at the end of the fourth century, saw the Mouseion and described the images of the philosophers in it. We have no later reference to its existence in the fifth century. As Theon, the distinguished mathematician and father of Hypatia, herself a renowned scholar, was the last recorded scholar-member (c. 380), it is likely that the Mouseion did not long survive the promulgation of Theodosius' decree in 391 to destroy all pagan temples in the city. ” John Julius Norwich, in his work Byzantium: The Early Centuries, places the destruction of the library's collection during the anti-Arian riots in Alexandria that transpired after the imperial decree of 391 (p.314).

  • D, depended to a large extent on the presence of these two libraries and the books and references they contained. Thus, while it is historically recorded that the Royal Library was a private one for the royal family as well as for scientists and researchers, the libraries of the Serapeum and Cesarion temples were public libraries accessible to the people.[16] Furthermore, while the Royal Library was founded by Ptolemy II Philadelphus in the royal quarters of Bruchion near the palaces and the royal gardens, it was his son Ptolemy III who founded the Serapeum temple and its adjoined library in the popular quarters of Rhakotis. Later, the Serapeum library became known as the Daughter Library, because it contained copies of the original versions found in the Royal Library.

    As for the Museum, Mostafa El-Abbadi writes in Life and Fate of the Ancient Library of Alexandria (Paris 1992): " The Mouseion, being at the same time a 'shrine of the Muses', enjoyed a degree of sanctity as long as other pagan temples remained unmolested. Synesius of Cyrene, who studied under Hypatia at the end of the fourth century, saw the Mouseion and described the images of the philosophers in it. We have no later reference to its existence in the fifth century. As Theon, the distinguished mathematician and father of Hypatia, herself a renowned scholar, was the last recorded scholar-member (c. 380), it is likely that the Mouseion did not long survive the promulgation of Theodosius' decree in 391 to destroy all pagan temples in the city. " John Julius Norwich, in his work Byzantium: The Early Centuries, places the destruction of the library's collection during the anti-Arian riots in Alexandria that transpired after the imperial decree of 391 (p.314).

    The great library of alexandria was the greatest library in the world. It was were all the information in the world was stored. It most likely carried over 1,000,000 scrolls. Now you cant say that the world wide web is bigger and carries more information than the great library of alexandria.

    When alexander found alexandria he decided to build a library were everybody was welcome. Cleopatrra Ptolemys daughter loved the library of alexandria. This library was the worlds first learning center. Thats probably how it got its name the great library of alexandria or the anciant library of alexandria.

  • By 312, however, Constantine and Maxentius were engaged in open hostility with one another, although they were brothers-in‑law through Constantine's marriage to Fausta, sister of Maxentius. In the spring of 312, Constantine gathered his forces and decided to oust Maxentius himself. He easily overran northern Italy, winning two major battles: the first near Turin, the second at Verona, where the praetorian prefect Ruricius Pompeianus, Maxentius' most senior general, was killed. [3]

      Maxentius plan was that they get Constantine to get on the bridge.So he sent some of his soildiers to attack him to get him on the bridge.Then they got him on the bridge but they retreated so then that got Maxentius mad and he went on the bridge and then the bridge fell apart.

      the war was in 312 AD.Constantinne was married to Fausta, Maxentius sister.Constantine little sister Constantius was married to Lucenius.there was a treaty between them.so one would rule the eastern and the other one would rule the western empire.

      Maxentius plan was that Constantine would go one the Milvian bridge and they would release a rope and the bridge would just fall.But it was the other way around maxentius and his army got trapped in his own plan.he got trapped on the bridge because his army went running away from Constantine's army because they showed the face from christ.

      In this war Maxentius drowned because of himself. He had a plan to pull the bridge aprt on his signal. When they pulled the bridge Constantine will be on it and they will drown. But instead of constantine Maxentius was on the bridge.

      On October 28th, 312 AD, the battle of the Milvian bridge took place. The battle was between Constantine and Maxentius (their armies). Constantine's armies were out numbered. The concept of the battle was that the first person that gets to the other side will conquer! The day before the battle Dia, the christian scribe told Constantine that if they put the sign of the cross on all of the shelids of the soldiers. He will conquer. Constantine agreed. Maxentius's plan was that once the army of Constantine gets on the bridge they will breaqk the bridge. They were wearing armor obviously so they would jsut sink to the bottom and would not even have a chance to survive. So the army of Maxentius and Maxentius himself died. So Constantine won!

      The battleof milvian bridge was a war between Maxentius and constanstine.The war was fought on a bridge.The point was that who ever got across the bridge first won the war.since that was the piont Maxentius had aplan.but his plan traped him.

      eventually constantine won becasue the batlle was mostly on the bridge. andn mxentius made a trap wich constantine didnt go on and maxentius fell. so he couldnt swim with that heavy stuff. so he died and contantine won the war.
    • laverne roache
       
      it was great plan to have the battle on the bridge beacuse at end alot of roman soliders fill into the water with their heavy amor. so it is hard fpr thrm to get up.The battle was fast battle.
    • emily caba
       
      the battle of the milvian bridge was about contantine wanting to be the emperor of rome. so constantine made war with maxentius. maxentius was ready for war because he made a trap on the bridge for constantine to fall onto. but it didnt work. maxentius fell in his own trap and he died from drowning. yea i kno they couldve swam but since they were where the armors and everything tht weighed alot, they couldnt swim in tht. so maxentius died in the war. so at tht point constantine was the only emperor for the western part of rome since there are two other emperors of the eastern part of rome.

      When Constantine had his victory he walked on the bridge to his new empire to rule. Rome. And that is how he became a christian and started to rule slowly the whole roman empire. That is how he came to so much power.
  • In Rome, the favorite was Maxentius, the son of Constantius' imperial colleague Maximian, who seized the title of emperor on 28 October 306.
  • Constantine avoided conflict with both Maxentius and the eastern emperors for most of this period.
  • Lactantius states that, in the night before the battle, Constantine was commanded in a dream to "delineate the heavenly sign on the shields of his soldiers" (On the Deaths of the Persecutors 44.5
  • Constantine with his army was marching (Eusebius does not specify the actual location of the event, but it clearly is not in the camp at Rome),
  • At first he was unsure of the meaning of the apparition, but in the following night he had a dream in which Christ explained to him that he should use the sign against his enemies.
  • Both authors agree that the sign was not readily understandable to denote Christ, which corresponds to the fact that there is no certain evidence of the use of the letters chi and rho as a Christian sign before Constantine. Its first appearance is on a Constantinian silver coin from c. 317, which proves that Constantine did use the sign at that time, though not very prominently.[
  • Some[6] have interpreted the vision in a solar context (e.g., as a solar halo phenomenon), which may have been reshaped to fit with the Christian beliefs later expressed by Constantine.
  • It was expected that Maxentius would remain within Rome and endure a siege, as he already had successfully employed this strategy during the invasions of Severus and Galerius.
  • The next day, the two armies clashed, and Constantine won a decisive victory.
  • Tiber were either taken prisoner or killed. Maxentius' Praetorian Guard seem to have made a stubborn stand on the northern bank of the river.[11] Maxentius was among the dead, having drowned in the river while trying to swim across it in a desperate bid to escape or, alternatively, he is described as having been thrown by his horse into the river.[12] Lactantius describes the death of Maxentius in the following manner: "The bridge in his rear was broken down. At sight of that the battle grew hotter. The hand of the Lord prevailed, and the forces of Maxentius were routed. He fled towards the broken bridge; but the multitude pressing on him, he was driven headlong into the Tiber."[13]

  • Licinius and Martinianus surrendered to Constantine at Nicomedia on the promise their lives would be spared: they were sent to live as private citizens in Thessalonica and Cappadocia respectively, but in 325 Constantine accused Licinius of plotting against him and had them both arrested and hanged; Licinius's son (the son of Constantine's half-sister) was also eradicated.[191] Thus Constantine became the sole emperor of the Roman Empire.
  • Constantine is perhaps best known for being the first Christian Roman emperor; his reign was certainly a turning point for the Christian Church. In 313 Constantine announced toleration of Christianity in the Edict of Milan, which removed penalties for professing Christianity (under which many had been martyred in previous persecutions of Christians) and returned confiscated Church property. Though a similar edict had been issued in 311 by Galerius, then senior emperor of the Tetrarchy, Galerius' edict granted Christians the right to practice their religion but did not restore any property to them.

      Constantine started a war with Licinuis so he can concord the eastern part of the Roman empire. After the war, they had a draw and for 7 years they had peace until Licinuis send his troops to assain cristian. Thats when Constantine began a new war with Licinuis and then he unleash his secret the that was the Cristian sign with the god's face on it. Then armysaw the sign and said "hey, that sign means that the god of the Cristians is coming down here and gonna destroy us." Which that meant a distracting for then and many soldiers got killed. When Licinuis saw that he flle back to his palace, because he knew that Constantine was going to kill him and so made Constantine the winner of the battle.

  • n 310, a dispossessed and power-hungry Maximian rebelled against Constantine while Constantine was away campaigning against the Franks. Maximian had been sent south to Arles with a contingent of Constantine's army, in preparation for any attacks by Maxentius in southern Gaul.

In spite of a large donative pledge to any who would support him as emperor, most of Constantine's army remained loyal to their emperor,

      Diocletian's Tetrarchy worked pretty well for about 20 years, but then it broke down. In 306 AD one of the Emperors, Constantius, died. He was supposed to be succeeded by his assistant, Severus. But he had a son, whose name was Constantine. When Constantius died, Constantine was not happy about being left out, and Constantius' army declared Constantine emperor. There was a big civil war. Maxentius Maxentius In one of the battles of this war, in 312 AD, Constantine was about to fight the son of another Emperor, Maximian. This son was named Maxentius. The battle was right outside Rome: Constantine was camped outside the walls of Rome, and Maxentius was inside Rome. Constantine's men were badly outnumbered. The night before the battle, Constantine had a dream. A cross or maybe some other Christian symbol appeared in the sky and he heard the words, "Under this sign you will win." Constantine figured that this meant he would win the battle if he had his soldiers paint a cross on their shields. He did have the soldiers paint the cross on their shields, and they did win the battle. Constantine was very impressed with the power of the Christian god, and became a Christian. He put up a triumphal arch to remind people of his victory.

    Caesar Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus (27 February c. 272- 22 May 337), commonly known in English as Constantine I, Constantine the Great,was Roman emperor from 306, and the sole holder of that office from 324 until 21his death in 337. Best known for being the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine reversed the persecutions of his predecessor, Diocletian, and issued the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed religious toleration throughout the empire. The Byzantine liturgical calendar, observed by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches of Byzantine rite, lists both Constantine and his mother Helena as saints. Although he is not included in the Latin Church's list of saints, which does recognize several other Constantines as saints, he is revered under the title "The Great" for his contributions to Christianity. Constantine also transformed the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium into a new imperial residence, Constantinople, which would remain the capital of the Byzantine Empire for over one thousand years.

    after going to war with Lucinius, there was seven years of truce between Constantine and him. After seven years of truce, peace was broken when Lucinius sent several troops to kill sevral christians. with that doing, another war erupted between Lucinius and Constantine. after raising a flag with christ's face on it, Lucinius' troops started to fear god and retreat. At the end of the bloody battle, Constantine won.

  • The result unforeseen by the assassins was that Caesar's death precipitated the end of the Roman Republic.[105] The Roman middle and lower classes, with whom Caesar was immensely popular and had been since before Gaul, became enraged that a small group of high-browed aristocrats had killed their champion. Antony, who had been drifting apart from Caesar, capitalised on the grief of the Roman mob and threatened to unleash them on the Optimates, perhaps with the intent of taking control of Rome himself. But, to his surprise and chagrin, Caesar had named his grandnephew Gaius Octavian his sole heir, bequeathing him the immensely potent Caesar name as well as making him one of the wealthiest citizens in the Republic.[106] Gaius Octavian became, for all intents and purposes, the son of the great Caesar, and consequently also inherited the loyalty of much of the Roman populace. When Caesar's funeral was held several days later in the Roman Forum, Antony did not give the speech that Shakespeare penned for him more than 1600 years later ("Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears..."), but he did give a dramatic eulogy that appealed to the common people, a reflection of public opinion following Caesar's murder. Further, it was announced to the public during the funeral oration that Caesar in his will had left his private gardens on the Tiber to the Roman public as well as 300 sesterces to every enrolled Roman citizen. (While 300 sesterces was not a fortune, such was the equivalent of three month's wages for the average Roman worker, a very nice gift.) These bequests, combined with Antony's funeral oration, only served to increase Caesar's posthumous stature among the populace, increasing the grief at his death as well as the rage against his assassins. The crowd at the funeral boiled over, throwing dry branches, furniture and even clothing on to Caesar's funeral pyre, causing the flames to spin out of control, seriously damaging the Forum. The mob then attacked the houses of Brutus and Cassius, where they were repelled only with considerable difficulty, ultimately providing the spark for the Liberators' civil war, fulfilling at least in part Antony's threat against the aristocrats.[107] However, Antony did not foresee the ultimate outcome of the next series of civil wars, particularly with regard to Caesar's adopted heir. Octavian, aged only 19 at the time of Caesar's death, proved to have considerable political skills, and while Antony dealt with Decimus Brutus in the first round of the new civil wars, Octavian consolidated his tenuous position.

      After the assasination Caesar did not have time to change his will so everything went to his nephew Octavian. Sadly not to his own son Caesarion. Octavian gets everything. To be emperor, all his stuff and even his name. Thats when the Roman Empire started! Octavian became the first emperor. Since Caesar was not!
  • Caesar was still deeply in debt, and there was money to be made as a provincial governor, whether by extortion[53] or by military adventurism. Caesar had four legions under his command, two of his provinces, Illyricum and Gallia Narbonensis, bordered on unconquered territory, and independent Gaul was known to be unstable. Rome's allies the Aedui had been defeated by their Gallic rivals, with the help of a contingent of Germanic Suebi under Ariovistus, who had settled in conquered Aeduan land, and the Helvetii were mobilising for a mass migration, which the Romans feared had warlike intent. Caesar raised two new legions and defeated first the Helvetii, then Ariovistus, and left his army in winter quarters in the territory of the Sequani, signaling that his interest in the lands outside Gallia Narbonensis would not be temporary.[54]

  • Despite their ancient pedigree, the Julii Caesares were not especially politically influential, having produced only three consuls. Caesar's father, also called Gaius Julius Caesar, reached the rank of praetor, the second highest of the Republic's elected magistracies, and governed the province of Asia, perhaps through the influence of his prominent brother-in-law Gaius Marius.[8] His mother, Aurelia Cotta, came from an influential family which had produced several consuls.

      Julius caesar was a great man. He went into the senate after disobeying Sulla. Back then you would be lucky to live if you disobeyed Sulla. He was good friends with Pompeii. Pompeii became dictator after that. They did not like the word king so they came up with dictator for a year.

      Julius Caesar conquered Gaul. As Jordan said the senate were afraid if Caesar was going to get too much power. I understand why they were thinking that. Once you have a lot of powere you start abusing it. They should know that Caesar is not that kind of guy. Also, when they defeated Gaul the people that lived their came back and wanted revenge. They were running out of food so they had to do canabalism. Canabalism is when you eat people. They ate their familes. They felt like cowards so they decided to surrender. Caesar went back defeating goal .....kind of twice. :P

Roman Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 5 views

  • Roman Republic was the phase of the ancient Roman civilization characterized by a republican form of government; a period which began with the overthrow of the Roman monarchy, c. 509 BC, and lasted over 450 years until its subversion, through a series of civil wars, into the Principate form of government and the Imperial period.

  • Rome also saw its territory expand during this period, from central Italy to the entire Mediterranean world. During the first two centuries, Rome expanded to the point of dominating Italy. During the next century, Rome grew to dominate North Africa, Iberia, Greece, and what is now southern France. During the last two centuries of the Roman Republic, Rome grew to dominate the rest of modern France, as well as much of the east

  • The constitutional history of the Roman Republic can be divided into five phases. The first phase began with the revolution which overthrew the monarchy in 510 BC.

  • The senate of the Roman Kingdom held three principle responsibilities: It functioned as the ultimate repository for the executive power,[9] it served as the council to the king, and it functioned as a legislative body in concert with the People of Rome.[10] During the years of the monarchy, the senate's most important function was to elect new kings.
  • The senate continued to exist in Constantinople, however. In the second half of 10th century century a new office poeder was created as a head of the senate by Emperor Nicephorus Phocas. Up to mid-11th century only eunuch could become proeder, but later this restriction was lifted and several proeders could be appointed, of which senior ('protoptoeder') served as the head of senate.

Also I'd like to make a comment about Lucius Junius Brutus. If he was the one who tricked Lucius Tarquinius Superbus into being overthrown, why didn't he take over? I would've thought that since Superbus was out of the way that he would take his place.

    Since the Romans didn't want to go through having a bad king, they stopped calling their rulers/leaders emperors. To me this almost seems like a phobia. It does because it's almost like they would go mad just for calling their ruler a king. I don't really blame them though because if we called our teachers kings, they would be treated like them and get all the privileges they wanted just because of their label.
  •  
    The senate of the roman kingdom had many responsibilities. The kings of Rome only got a limited amount of time on the throne. This is almost as I said before. They get treated like royalty because of their labels. To us they are just kings but to the people of Rome it's like their life to worship each one until something goes wrong which is why now they don't like kings.
  •  
    the senate was almost like a group of high people who decided what was best for rome. what they did when permission was asked for or a proposal was made is almost vote on it. they didn't necessarily vote on things but they went with the most people on ideas or what was right.

      The Nicene Creed (Latin: Symbolum Nicaenum) is the creed or profession of faith (Greek: Σύμβολον τῆς Πίστεως) that is most widely used in Christian liturgy. It is called Nicene (pronounced /ˈnaɪsiːn/) because, in its original form, it was adopted in the city of Nicaea by the first ecumenical council, which met there in 325
  • The Nicene Creed has been regarded as a touchstone of true Christian faith, though not a complete expression of it. When the word "symbol" meant a "token for identification (by comparison with a counterpart)",[15] the Nicene Creed was given, in Greek and Latin, the name "symbol of faith", a name still used even in languages in which "symbol" no longer has that meaning.

      Maxentius WAS a pagan. He hated Constantine. In the battle he died in Maxentius had a plan that once all of Constantine's army gets on the bridge they will lot the bridge loose. And since they are wearing armor they will sink in obviously will not survive. But, Maxentius's plan backfired and he and his army fell into the water. That was ironic because Dia, the christian scribe said to Constantine the day before the battle that if he puts the sign of the Christians they will Conquer. Which they did. From there on Constantine became Christian.

  • In 305, Diocletian and Maximian resigned, and the former caesares Constantius and Galerius became Augusti. Although with Constantine and Maxentius two sons of emperors were available, they were left out from the new tetrarchy, and Severus and Maximinus Daia were appointed Caesars. Some sources (Lactantius, Epitome) state that Galerius hated Maxentius and used his influence on Diocletian that Maxentius be ignored in the succession; maybe Diocletianus also thought that he was not qualified for the military duties of the imperial office. Maxentius retired to an estate some miles from Rome.

  • the Augustus Severus marched on Rome with a large army.
  • Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius (c. 278 – 28 October, 312) was Western Roman Emperor from 306 to 312. He was the son of former emperor Maximian, and the son-in-law of Galerius, also an emperor.
    • saul PAULINO
       
      Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maxentius was born around AD 279 as the son of Maximian and his Syrian wife Eutropia. He was made a senator and even was given Galerius' daughter Valeria Maximilla in marriage in an attempt to confirm his status of the son of an emperor. But other than these honours he received nothing. No consulship to groom him for power, no military command. First he suffered the indignity together with Constantine of being passed over as Maximian and Diocletian both resigned in AD 305, when they both had to watch the relative unknowns of Severus II and Maximinus II Daia accede to what they saw as their rightful places. Then at the death of Constantius Chlorus in AD 306 Constantine was granted the rank of Caesar, leaving Maxentius out in the cold

      What I ment by that was that Maxentius once had to fight against Constantine. His idea was to make the bridge fall when all of his army was on it. Pretty simple. But Maxentius ebded being the one falling into the water with his army. They were all wearing armor obviously so they could not get up. So they sink right down. Constantine won and Maxentius died. :l

    The pagan Maxentius, went to war against constantine on the milvian bridge. fortunatley, instead of maxentius' trap destroying Constantine and his army, the plan of having the bridge collapse backfired and he eventually killed himself.

      Constantine was a bit selfish during his time ruling the eastrn part of the empire. He wanted to rule all of Rome. He only ruled the eastern when he wanted to control the western as well. He was the only emperor in the eastern part, but in the western there was two emperors, Licinius, and Dia. He wanted to make friends with Licinius the stronger one. He completed the task, and he offered his sister to him to make sure he would'nt kill him. Then he told him if he kills Dia he will be the only one in charge. What Licinius doesn't know is, after Dia is killed, then Constantine will kill Licinius. Making him rule all of Rome.

  • The revelations (or Ayat, lit. "Signs of God")—which Muhammad reported receiving until his death—form the verses of the Qur'an, regarded by Muslims as the “Word of God” and around which the religion is based. Besides the Qur'an, Muhammad’s life (sira) and traditions (sunnah) are also upheld by Muslims. They discuss Muhammad and other prophets of Islam with reverence, adding the phrase peace be upon him whenever their names are mentioned.[17] While conceptions of Muhammad in medieval Christendom and premodern times were largely negative, appraisals in modern times have been far less so.[14][18] Besides this, his life and deeds have been debated by followers and opponents over the centuries.[19]
  • Sources for Muhammad's life Prophet Muhammad at the Ka'ba, The Life of the Prophet Topkapi Palace Museum, Istanbul (Inv. 1222/123b), illustration by Nakkaş Osman [c. 1595]. Main articles: Historiography of early Islam and Historicity of Muhammad Being a highly influential historical figure, Muhammad's life, deeds, and thoughts have been debated by followers and opponents over the centuries, which makes a biography of him difficult to write.[14] The Qur'an Muslims regard the Qur'an as the primary source of knowledge about the historical Muhammad.[14] The Qur'an has a few allusions to Muhammad's life,[23]. The Qur'an responds "constantly and often candidly to Muhammad's changing historical circumstances and contains a wealth of hidden data."[14] Early biographies Next in importance are the historical works by writers of the third and fourth century of the Muslim era.[24] These include the traditional Muslim biographies of Muhammad and quotes attributed to him (the sira and hadith literature), which provide further information on Muhammad's life.[25] The earliest surviving written sira (biographies of Muhammad and quotes attributed to him) is Ibn Ishaq's Life of God's Messenger written ca. 767 (150 AH). The work is lost, but was used verbatim at great length by Ibn Hisham and Al-Tabari.[23][26] Another early source is the history of Muhammad's campaigns by al-Waqidi (death 207 of Muslim era), and the work of his secretary Ibn Sa'd al-Baghdadi (death 230 of Muslim era).[24] Many scholars accept the accuracy of the earliest biographies, though their accuracy is unascertainable.[23] Recent studies have led scholars to distinguish between the traditions touching legal matters and the purely historical ones. In the former sphere, traditions could have been subject to invention while in the latter sphere, aside from exceptional cases, the material may have been only subject to "tendential shaping".[27] In addition, the hadith collections are accounts of the verbal and physical traditions of Muhammad that date from several generations after his death.[28] Hadith compilations are records of the traditions or sayings of Muhammad. They might be defined as the biography of Muhammad perpetuated by the long memory of his community for their exemplification and obedience.[29] Western academics view the hadith collections with caution as accurate historical sources.[28] Scholars such as Madelung do not reject the narrations which have been complied in later periods, but judge them in the context of history and on the basis of their compatibility with the events and figures.[30] Finally, there are oral traditions. Although usually discounted by historians, oral tradition plays a major role in the Islamic understanding of Muhammad.[19] Non-Arabic sources The earliest Greek source for Muhammed is the 9th century writer Theophanes. The earliest Syriac source is the 7th century John bar Penkaye.[31]

  • Background Main articles: Pre-Islamic Arabia and Jahiliyyah Approximate locations of some of the important tribes and Empire of the Arabian Peninsula at the dawn of Islam (approximately 600 CE / 50 BH). The Arabian Peninsula was largely arid and volcanic, making agriculture difficult except near oases or springs. The landscape was thus dotted with towns and cities, two prominent ones being Mecca and Medina. Medina was a large flourishing agricultural settlement, while Mecca was an important financial center for many surrounding tribes.[32] Communal life was essential for survival in the desert conditions, as people needed support against the harsh environment and lifestyle. Tribal grouping was encouraged by the need to act as a unit, this unity being based on the bond of kinship by blood.[33] Indigenous Arabs were either nomadic or sedentary (or bedouins), the former constantly travelling from one place to another seeking water and pasture for their flocks, while the latter settled and focused on trade and agriculture. Nomadic survival was also dependent on raiding caravans or oases, the nomads not viewing this as a crime.[34][35] In pre-Islamic Arabia, gods or goddesses were viewed as protectors of individual tribes, their spirits being associated with sacred trees, stones, springs and wells. As well as being the site of an annual pilgrimage, the Kaaba shrine in Mecca housed 360 idol statues of tribal patron deities. Aside from these gods, the Arabs shared a common belief in a supreme deity called Allah (literally "the god"), who was remote from their everyday concerns and thus not the object of cult or ritual. Three goddesses were associated with Allah as his daughters: Allāt, Manāt and al-‘Uzzá. Monotheistic communities existed in Arabia, including Christians and Jews.[36] Hanifs – native pre-Islamic Arab monotheists – are also sometimes listed alongside Jews and Christians in pre-Islamic Arabia, although their historicity is disputed amongst scholars.[37][38] According to Muslim tradition, Muhammad himself was a Hanif and one of the descendants of Ishmael, son of Abraham.[39]
  • By the time of his death, most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam; and he united the tribes of Arabia into a single Muslim religious polity.[15][16]
  • Muhammad,
  • The attack at Badr committed Muhammad to total war with Meccans
  • withdrawal of clan protection implied that the blood revenge for his killing would not be exacted. Muhammad then visited Ta'if, another important city in Arabia, and tried to find a protector for himself there, but his effort failed and further brought him into physical danger.[14][71] Muhammad was forced to return to Mecca. A Meccan man named Mut'im b. Adi (and the protection of the tribe of Banu Nawfal) made it possible for him safely to re-enter his native city.[14][71] Many people were visiting Mecca on business or as pilgrims to the Kaaba. Muhammad took this opportunity to look for a new home for himself and his followers. After several unsuccessful negotiations, he found hope with some men from Yathrib (later called Medina).[14] The Arab population of Yathrib were familiar with monotheism because a Jewish community existed there.[14] Converts to Islam came from nearly all Arab tribes in Medina, such that by June of the subsequent year there were seventy-five Muslims coming to Mecca for pilgrimage and to meet Muhammad. Meeting him secretly by night, the group made what was known as the "Second Pledge of al-`Aqaba", or the "Pledge of War"[72] Following the pledges at Aqabah, Muhammad encouraged his followers to emigrate to Yathrib. As with the migration to Abyssinia, the Quraysh attempted to stop the emigration. However, almost all Muslims managed to leave

      Honorius wasn't a real leader. He was more like a follower and because of his not very wise descions of his generals the western roman empire fell. Rome needed a strong and wise leader not a kid who will always be asking for help when he's the one that's suppose to help. Also a leader that can control his own situations , and do what he thinks is best for rome.
  • To counter Priscus, Honorius tried to negotiate with Alaric. Alaric withdrew his support for Priscus in 410, but the negotiations with Honorius broke down. Alaric again entered Italy and sacked Rome.
    • alexa puntiel
       
      Alaric just asked for some land for his people. They did need land to function, to live, and to grow their crops. I didn't think it was too much to ask for. All they wanted was the romans to treat them as their equals . Mostly it's the general's fault for trying to kill Alaric's troop and him just because of what happened in the past. Now for that stupid mistake Alaric and his men thought the emperor has betrayed him for the third time.
    • alexa puntiel
       
      Honorius wasn't very wise. Asking your senate about what to do? Uh, no not a very smart thing to do because this is what YOU want for the empire . No one else. The choices Honorius made was why the western roman empire fell. He didn't take charge nor did he act like a leader.
  • The most notable event of his reign was the assault and Sack of Rome on August 24 410 by the Visigoths under Alaric.
    • alexa puntiel
       
      Sack means to to rob, or burn down. That's exactly what alaric an his men were planning on doing. It's what Rome gets for not trying to accepet the barbarins , and for killing their people. The emperor wanted to negoaite ,but let's say some people can hold a gruge for years , and takes matters in their own hands to get revegne.
    • alexa puntiel
       
      During the sack of Rome Honorius' sister was taken by Alaric's men as houstche or captive. The sack of Rome was to me a terrible sight. I guess that's how it was back then. We learn from their mistakes , and make better choices unlike Honorius.

      The only reason Nero became emporer is because of his mother. After a while though Nero got agrivated with his mother, agrippina, there by his side. She want sent to be away and killed. She wasnt killed so they found her later on, on an island. So She died.

Few surviving sources paint Nero in a favorable light.[6] Some sources, though, including those mentioned above, portray him as an emperor who was popular with the common Roman people, especially in the East.[7] The study of Nero is problematic as some modern historians question the reliability of ancient sources when reporting on Nero's tyrannical acts

  • Ptolemy XV, sometimes referred to as "Ptolemy Caesar", most commonly known by his nickname Caesarion, was born in Egypt in 47 BC and was the son of Julius Caesar. He spent two of his early years, from 46–44 BC, in Rome, where he and his mother were Caesar's guests. Cleopatra VII hoped that her son would eventually succeed his father as the head of the Roman Republic as well as Egypt.

  • Mark Antony had committed suicide prior to Octavian's entry into the capital; Cleopatra followed his example by committing suicide on August 12, 30 BC. Caesarion's guardians, including his tutor, either were themselves lured by false promises of mercy into returning the boy to Alexandria or perhaps even betrayed him; the records are unclear. Octavian had Caesarion executed there, with the words "Two Caesars is one too many". No events concerning his death have been documented. Due to his young age of 17 years it is supposed he was executed by strangulation.

      Even by the standards of the rapidly declining Western Empire, Honorius' reign was precarious and chaotic. His throne was guarded by his principal general, Flavius Stilicho, who was successively Honorius's guardian (during his childhood) and his father-in-law (after the emperor became an adult). Stilicho's generalship helped preserve some level of stability, but with his execution, the Western Roman Empire moved closer to collapse.

    He was named Caesarion because that means little caesar. Cleopatra and Julius Caesar were his parents. They named him little caesar cince his father's name was Caesar and he was his son. Caesarion was supposed to be next heir of the throne after Caesar was declared dictator for life. He was the first to be dictator for life. Caesarion was the prince of Egypt since his mother was the queen. He is not the dictator of Rome. Because after Caesar was assasinated he did not have time to change his will.

Arch of Constantine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 7 views

  • The Arch of Constantine (Italian: Arco di Costantino) is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October 28, 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, from which it differs by spolia, the extensive re-use of parts of earlier buildings.

  • Above each lateral archway are pairs of round reliefs dated to the times of Emperor Hadrian. They display scenes of hunting and sacrificing: (north side, left to right) hunt of a boar, sacrifice to Apollo, hunt of a lion, sacrifice to Hercules, (south side, left to right) departure for the hunt, sacrifice to Silvanus, hunt of a bear, sacrifice to Diana. The head of the emperor (originally Hadrian) has been reworked in all medallions: on the north side, into Constantine in the hunting scenes and into Licinius or Constantius I in the sacrifice scenes; on the south side, vice versa. The reliefs, c. 2 m in diameter, were framed in porphyry; this framing is only extant on the right side of the northern facade.

  • Decoration The arch is heavily decorated with parts of older monuments, which assume a new meaning in the context of the Constantinian building. As it celebrates the victory of Constantine, the new "historic" friezes illustrating his campaign in Italy convey the central meaning: the praise of the emperor, both in battle and in his civilian duties. The other imagery supports this purpose: decoration taken from the "golden times" of the Empire under Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius places Constantine next to these "good emperors", and the content of the pieces evokes images of the victorious and pious ruler.

      Wow the Arch of Constantine is that big. I cant believe that even an attic can fit in there. The width and height of that Arch must have been enormus because for the Romans to build an attic is crazy. Then even for it to be identical is even crazier.
  • In the central archway, there is one large panel of Trajan's Dacian War on each wall. Inside the lateral archways are eight portraits busts (two on each wall), destroyed to such an extent that it is no longer possible to identify them.

  • Pliny is known for his hundreds of surviving letters, which are an invaluable historical source for the period. Many are to reigning emperors or to notables such as the historian, Tacitus. Pliny himself was a notable figure, serving as an imperial magistrate under Trajan.

      pliny had a uncle named pliny the elder and since pliny's name waspliny the younger maybe he got his name from his uncle
  • Pliny loved villas, and, being wealthy, owned many, such as the one in Lake Como named "Tragedy" because of its situation high on a hill. Another, on the shore of the lake, was named "Comedy" because it was sited low down.[4]

    I can't believe Pliny actually taught his son Pliny the younger. It would be kinda cool to have your uncle to teach you. But then again you coulldn't act up without getting seriously yelled at. Why didn't he just get his son a regular tutor or teacher?
  •  
    Pliny must have been pretty educated if he started writing at the age of fourteen. I'm almost fourteen and I don't write nearly as good as him. I don't get it when they say many are reigning emperors. Did he write about the different emperors of Rome?

    I only new that he was a writer but i never thought that he would be a lawer.i didnt think they new what a lawer was back then.

    pliny the younger had a uncle called pliny the elder.
  •  
    Its not a surprise to me that pliny died young. Mostly because he is a male. Most Roman males only lived to about 29 and women 31. this was probably the reason he died because of his aqe

      Hadrian was the emperor after Trajan. Hadrian built a wall to keep out barbarians. He built the wall in England. Hadrain's wall was call Hadrian's wall! After that Hadrian built the most famous building! The popular building was called the Penthion. The Penthion had a whole in the ceiling. The penthion is about 150 feet high. The whole on the top was thrity feet high. Now, today the Penthion is a catholic church. The christians took over all temples and changeed them into catholic churches.

    • ashley hernandez
       
      He was a non-roman and they still accepted him to become emperor? I dont understand the Romans because i thought if they werent Romans werent they become slaves? I think they thought a different way about Hadrian.
    • Veronica Rodriguez
       
      That is true .why would rome make him a emporor? he is not a roman and he became an eporor? he must have been lved a lot. Because rome never picks nonromans.
  • He was also archon in Athens for a brief time, and was elected an Athenian citizen.[11]
    • daniel arocho
       
      wow hadrian was a famouse person.so far from reading this he was known in the world of acient rome and other places.he is a geat man to be emporor. also to be elected citizen of athens even when he never lived there.
    • ashley hernandez
       
      wow hadrian was a great emperor in all the places he goes to.He was elected citizen of Athens when he was emperor of Rome. He was the greatest emperor ion Ancient time.If i was him i would feel so great of how much the people would love me and all the fame i would had.

      hadrian must have been a great great person cause he is everywhere. he is elcted citezen of Athens? he was probably the most famous man alive in that time. he is like a antient movie star.
  • of adoption from Trajan
    • daniel arocho
       
      i never knew trajan was abopted.well now when i think of it i think i remember mr santamariah say he had been adopted by hadrian.hadraian adopted trajan because he thought he would be a good leader so he adopteded him to be the next heir to be emperor.and he rite about him being a good leader
    • ashley hernandez
       
      Hadrian adopted trajan because he knew he would be a great leader and also because he didnt have a biological son.So he trusted trajan.he was so right about trajan of being a great emperor for rome.
    • Bryan Cardenas
       
      Wow i been knowing Trajan was adopted but not becouse of this. I always though becouse Hadrian never had a son. The thing i dont get is how he knew. You have to aggre with me, people change.
  • He surrendered Trajan's conquests
    • daniel arocho
       
      what does surrendering trajans conquest mean. i think that means that he ended trajans conquest to go to war but he ended it so he doesnt. but im not sure that makes sense.
  • Hadrian was born Publius Aelius Hadrianus in Italica[2] or, less probably, in Rome,[3] from a well-established family which had originated in Picenum in Italy and had subsequently settled in Italica, Hispania Baetica (the republican Hispania Ulterior), near the present day location of Seville, Spain. His predecessor Trajan was a maternal cousin of Hadrian's father.[4] Trajan never officially designated a successor, but, according to his wife, Pompeia Plotina, Trajan named Hadrian emperor immediately before his death. Trajan's wife was well-disposed toward Hadrian: Hadrian may well have owed his succession to her.

    I think that whole Jewish revolt was stupid of the Jews. They kind of gave me the idea that they were trying to say that they were better than others. One reason is because they reasoned with Trajan about worshipping their gods. To me they were the same as everybody else, they just believed in differnt things the Romans did.
  •  
    It's cool how Hadrian built the first mall. Imagining the Romans shopping is weird but cool at the same time. Doing this proved that they were civilized back then. I guess we did adopt habits and other things from the Romans.
  •  
    Hadrian obviously didn't play around when it came to him having power. I think he was a little over protective of his power and how he ran it. He didn't even permit people to talk bad about him without them being executed.

    Hardrain was a great guy and he belt the first roman mall it was three floors you could of speed the whole day there.

    i wonder if there was an ancient bookstore in the mall.....
