Romulus the Great (Romulus der Große) about a last Emperor called Romulus Augustulus, but uses some artistic license: his Romulus is a middle-aged student of history.
- Daniel Gomez on 18 Nov 09
  
  Romulus the great was the last emperor to be named Romulas Augustulus. I wonder if they would have kept that name to see if one of the other emperors would be called like that. It would be even cooler if they would have kept it till now in the 21st Centrey.

Constantine's effort to start a civil conflict proved successful, as did his campaign against Licinius. Following the battle at Adrianople Constantine besieged Byzantium, whilst his son Crispus commanded his navy in a struggle to wrest command of the narrow waters separating Thrace and Asia Minor from Licinius' fleet.

  Amasing that Constantine started a civil war and suceed it. Also he still did his campaign against Licinis. He even had a son named Crispus he commanded a navy in the strugle. Amasing how he did that and still did other things at the same time too.

born in Moesia Superior, Licinius accompanied his close childhood friend, the Emperor Galerius, on the Persian expedition in 297. After the death of Flavius Valerius Severus, Galerius elevated

  Wow Moesia Superior sounds like a very powerful city. Licinus was lucky to be born there. It sounds like a good friend to accompanie his closest friends. For his reward he got to be called Emperor of Rome.

Above the middle archway, the main inscription takes the most prominent place of the attic. It is identical on both sides of the arch.
- Daniel Gomez on 17 Nov 09
  
  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.
- Daniel Gomez on 17 Nov 09
  
  Wow i cant believe there were EIGHT BUSTS and two on each wall. They were destroyed so badly to extent that they cant even identify them. It must have looked like little tiny dust particals from all the destruction there was. They probley looked beatiful but not anymore.

shared by Daniel Gomez on 15 Oct 09 - Cached

Nero's rule is often associated with tyranny and extravagance.[3] He is known for a number of executions, including those of his mother[4] and step-brother, as the emperor who "fiddled while Rome burned",
- Daniel Gomez on 28 Oct 09
  
  I cant believe that Nero killed his mother and his step brother. He must of not had any feelings at that time. He even burned Rome for his own reason and blamed it on others too. He is the most egotistic person i have ever researched on.

Nero was born with the name Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus on 15 December, AD 37, in Antium, near Rome.
- Daniel Gomez on 28 Oct 09
  
  I never knew that Neros name was Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus. I wonder where he got that name Nero if that wasnt his birth name. Did he change his name on his own or if someone changed his name. Plus i never knew that he was born near Rome in Antium in 15 December AD 37

Nero became emperor at 16, the youngest emperor up until that time.[24] Ancient historians describe Nero's early reign as being strongly influenced by his mother Agrippina, his tutor Lucius Annaeus Seneca, and the Praetorian Prefect Sextus Afranius Burrus, especially in the first year.

  Nero became emperor at 16 omg. I cant believe that he was the youngest emperor too thats to major records to hold to. Plus his reign was strongly influenced by his mother, his tutor, and Praetorian Perfect especially in the first year. All of them were great people in Rome Agrippna, Lucius Annaeus Seneca, and Sextus Afranius Burrus.

Roman Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 5 views

shared by Daniel Gomez on 14 Sep 09 - Cached

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.
- Daniel Gomez on 16 Sep 09
  
  I can't belive the constitutional history of the roman republic can be divided espically into five phases. The Romans can do what they want when they want it. I also don't belive that the first phase was ended with a revolution which overthrew the Roman Republic and then created the Roman Empire, in 27 B.C.
