Hadrian's Influence On The Roman Empire

He came from an Umbrian family from Tuder in northern Italy which had chosen to settle in Spain. His father was Marcus Ulpius Trajanus, a very prominent man in terms of government. He was the first of the to reach the office of senator, commanded the Tenth Legion 'Fretensis ' in the Jewish War of 67-68 AD, and became consul around the year 70 AD. During the year 75 AD, he became governor of Syria, one of the key military provinces in the empire. Later he also was to be governor of the provinces of Baetica and Asia. While his father was governor of Syria, Trajan served as military tribune.

Marcus Aurelius was born into a rich family and it was known he would become an Emperor in his later life. Marcus Aurelius was “born... April 26,121, in Rome…” and grew up in Rome (“Marcus”). Aurelius was “raised by his grandfather, who was a...relative of the emperor Hadrian…” and

Trajan is considered by many historians as one of the greatest Roman emperors. He conquered Parthia and Dacia, expanding Rome’s borders. He was also the first non-Roman emperor in Rome’s history. Trajan was born in Italica, Baetica (modern-day Spain) on September 15th, 53 CE, and he died on either August 8th or August 9th, 117 CE in Selinus, Cilicia (modern-day Turkey). Trajan started his career as a legionary staff tribune in Syria, where his father was governor. After that, he became a praetor, which qualified him for command of a legion in Spain in 89 CE. One day, he was ordered to march his troops to Rome to help a revolt against emperor Domitian, but the revolt was suppressed by the time he arrived. In 91 CE, Domitian allowed him

In the expanding world, there are many prominent people that are influential in the smallest of places to the largest of the regions. Role models like leaders, writers, scientists, and many more have qualities that have the power to change the world either to bad or good. In Greece, there is Alexander the great who is known for the his military leadership that was considered the best in the land. Or Mahatma Gandhi who is called the father of his nation because of his contribution to overthrow the Britishers. Unlike any others, Nero is an infamous leader that is known to be the most cruel, malicious and tyrannical leaders throughout Roman history.

Emperor Nero, who was infamously known as one of the worst emperors, had a huge impact on the Roman Empire in many different ways throughout his lifetime. Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, but known by most people as Nero, was born on December 15, 37 A.D. to Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Agrippina the Younger. He was then adopted by his Uncle Claudius, who at that time was Emperor. Nero did have a couple obstacles in his way to becoming Emperor, though. Eventually, Nero did gain the throne, and finally, it was his time to dominantly rule over Rome, by being a cruel and oppressive tyrant, which established him just not only as one of the worst emperors throughout history, but as the worst emperor throughout history. The historical impact that came from Emperor Nero was through what his “accomplishments” were throughout his rule.

Throughout the period of Roman emperors, there were many good emperors who brought wealth and prosperity, but there were bad emperors who brought terror and poverty. Emperor Titus Augustus was one of the emperors who brought wealth and prosperity. He had one of the most popular rules, even though he only ruled for about 3 years. He was, also, nicknamed the “darling of the human race” by Suetonius (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica). Although Emperor Titus had a short rule, he brought wealth and prosperity, thus making his rule have a positive impact on the Roman Empire.

Nero is well known for his love of music and acting. He was not, however, known for being a good ruler. Nero was too focused on his own interests to rule his empire. He left that job for three crucial advisors: Seneca, Burrus, and his mother, Agrippina (History.com Staff, par. 3). Nero also did not have any experience leading an army. Nero relied heavily on his competent military generals Gnaeus Domitius, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, and Titus Flavius Vespasianus to lead in battles (Sienkewicz, par 8). Nero had to, by law, put to

Gregory was born during politically turbulent times in Europe. Economies suffered, agriculture waned, and a plague ravaged rural areas amidst Justinian’s reconquest of Italy (535–554). The bridges, aqueducts, and infrastructure of Rome degraded with age too. The Lombards held North Italy and less than a generation later, they seized Milan, and were threatening Rome. Even still, the Byzantine emperors, who were too far to protect Rome, demanded loyalty and taxes from the people of Italy from its imperial post at Ravenna. Gregory witnessed all of that turmoil which certainly would inspire his career and outlooks. Gregory came from a wealthy Roman family and as a young man he served as prefect of Rome (from 573). The Roman aristocracy which he would have known was losing faith in the power of Rome. Many looked instead to the Church’s message during times that many, including Gregory, viewed as apocalyptic. Gregory gave his property Italy and Sicily to the Church, converted his family mansion in Rome into a monastery, and lived there as a devoted and highly contemplative monk. These early experiences influenced Gregory and his subsequent development of the role of the papacy: “when I rose in contemplation above all changeable and decaying things, and thought of nothing but the things of heaven.” Gregory’s aristocratic background, preference for monasticism, and deep interest in eschatology pervaded his greatest contributions to role of the bishop of Rome by influencing his

As history teaches, the Roman Empire was a great and solid empire. From the time of its birth to its fall the Roman Empire was known and remembered for its greatness. Yet through all of that, somehow, someway it fell apart. It became the million dollar question that almost everyone was asking themselves. How and why did the Roman Empire fall? The answer to that question is inconsistency and the lack of good leadership.

There have been many ideas on how to define childhood that have been expressed over the years, from more controversial concepts such as the psychosexual stages developed by Freud to the more polished concepts like Jean Piaget’s stages of cognitive development and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s tabula rasa. Despite these differing academic views about how to describe childhood, there is a universal understanding that childhood is a distinct space from adulthood. Childhood is often depicted as a stage in life that is filled with unruly behaviour, an abundance of imagination and irrational thought processes. It is also commonly portrayed as a vulnerable period in which children should be sheltered from neglect, abuse, and exploitation. As newcomers to

Classical Greek culture had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of the Mediterranean region and Europe. Greek culture influenced the development of Roman civilization because at first Rome absorbed ideas from Greek colonists in southern Italy, and they continued to borrow from Greek culture after they conquered Greece. Ancient Greece has had an enormous amount of impact on culture in the western world. For this reason, Classical Greece is generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation of Western civilization. Rome conquered the Greek empire and its civilization, but Greek culture conquered imperial Rome. Furthermore, the Romans willingly

The War with Veii played a significant role in the expansion of the Roman Empire. The war, which ended in 410 B.C., set in motion an entirely different Roman army. No longer was the army a volunteer militia, instead it became a paying and contractual organization. The “Roman victory brought an end to Rome’s most threatening neighbor and began its rise to prominence in the central Italian peninsula” (www.warandgameinfo.com).

The Roman Empire conquered land at a previously unparalleled rate, within the known world, affecting its institutions from the rest of the Empire’s prevalence. From Hispania to Britannia sweeping across the mediterranean, gaining Egypt, ending in Persia; the absorption of Carthage and North Africa, and finally the civil war being won by Augustus, all brought upon the negative effects of their conquest. The Empire continued to grow from the year 200 B.C.E. to the year 200 C.E.; this growth had many effects upon the Empire. Although expansion and conquest are often good, seen as liberating, or wholly expansive in mathematical, philosophic, and scientific thought, this is not inherently the case. The Roman Empire’s expansion was not entirely as powerful and awe inspiring as many claim it to be; the greedily performed collection of lands resulted in many negative outcomes. These outcomes largely presented Rome with an issue they would never be able to recover from: empiric decay. The effects of militaristic expansion, of the Roman Empire, resulted in the decay of previously prosperous economic, political, and social institutions.

I still faintly remember the way my mother carried me as a toddler. She would wrap me in a colorful, African cloth and tie my to her back, knotting the cloth in front. I would rest my head on my mother’s back, listening to her steady heartbeat as it lulled me to sleep.

I want to be a craft artist because I really like art and doing crafts. And I think it is a great way to express yourself in your work. I didn’t really know that you could sell crafts, I knew you could sell paintings but with other things like christmas ornaments, I only ever made them just to keep for myself. I don’t think that a craft artist has to be someone that paints or makes sculptures, they can be someone who makes and sells things such as wreaths, ornaments, and custom shirts.
