What if Rome Never Fell: A Discussion

Many people know Rome as one of the greatest and powerful cities of history. Rome started out as a little city and slowly started gaining land as time went by. In the beginning of Rome the Greeks were the most powerful and wealthy of the area. Again as time drove by the Romans gained more power and wealth without really meaning to. The fall of Rome occurred because as Rome grew older it started to turn into an Empire with one sole leader, they conquered people who were unwilling, and the economy was starting to crumble.

During the fall of the city that would become the world's greatest empire, it all eventually fell and it all began in 750 BCE during an unremarkable settlement. Rome tried to climb up the social class as a society to become the greatest empire ever known, but it all happened way too fast. Rome took over plenty of other empires and it was very easy for them. They took over every empire that they wanted, because their army was so strong that nobody stood a chance.

Despite Rome’s impressive amount of money, people, core values, and supposed strength, Rome fell indefinitely due to lower-class problems, foreign invasions, and legal injustice. Because of its lower-class

Though Rome made plenty of mistakes, it also influenced how people live today. For example, monumental construction, encouraging religion, extraordinary language, and even a strong government. Even though it was a troubling time, if Rome didn't fall we would probably make the same mistakes that caused them to fall. In 476 CE the Ancient Empire collapsed, but there wasn’t only one cause. There were multiple reasons to why Ancient Rome fell, from population, to military and politics. One important reason that led to the fall of Ancient Rome was the steady decline in population. A compelling piece of evidence to support this is the constant warfare, and plagues that were occurring during the time. Another reason to support this, is that Romans

“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.

Let’s head back to my three reasons why Rome fell in the first place, but allow me to go into more detail this time. Starting off let’s talk about their government, don’t get me wrong the government editions threw great parties! And they were really fun! If you were in upper class. Also at these parties, they would Drink until they were ill! And don't even get me started on how corrupt and unstable the emperor duty was. The emperor changed as fast as you could say Rome. Secondly, there were the military problems, they would spread there military so thin they soon had no more. They would be killed or enslaved by other civilizations. Social classes didn’t help with Rome's current

There are many other legitimate theories on what caused the fall of Rome. One such theory is that the Romans did not develop new technology to increase efficiency, as they relied heavily on human and animal labor (Fall of the Roman Empire). Thus, they could not keep up with the needs of the growing population. But the events I focused on,

The fall of the Roman Empire is one of the most important and world-shaping events in history, but it provides more than just an interesting study of the past, it also holds many important lessons for Americans and the western world today.

     Rome's vast empire lasted for an amazing one thousand-year reign. Half of it referred to as the republic, and the other as the empire. However, after its fall in 5oo-a.d. Rome has still remained in existence through its strong culture, architecture, literature, and even religion (Spielvogel 175). Even after its disappearance as a nation Rome left behind a legacy that will never be forgotten. Its ideals and traditions have been immolated, and adopted for over two thousand years. Whether, it is through its language of Latin, its influence of religion, or its amazing architectural ability Rome has influenced almost every culture following its demise. The heritage of Rome has

In reading about the highways and roadways of ancient Rome, it’s truly fascinating that they laid out their roadways over 50,000 miles.

Concrete Many of the Roman structures are still standing today due to the invention of concrete and cement. The Romans first started using concrete over 2,100 years ago. Concrete then was a lot weaker than concrete now, but it is durable. It was made using slaked lime, volcanic ash, and volcanic rocks. The volcanic ash helps the concrete set quickly. Roads and Highways The Roman empire encompassed nearly 1.7 million square miles. The Romans built the most sophisticated road system the ancient

As the story goes, Rome was founding in 753 B.C. by two brothers Remus and Romulus who were raised by wolves. The two brothers started fighting over the leadership of the land. Eventually Romulus killed Remus and took control own his own. The city was only a small settlement

The Romans subsequently use finely ground volcanic lava in place of clay, deriving it mainly from the region of Pozzuoli. Their cement, known for this reason as pozzolanic, is the strongest mortar in history until the development of Portland cement. When small fragments of volcanic rubble are included, the result is concrete - making possible the great arches and aqueducts of Roman architecture, and playing its part in Roman roads.

According to legend, the city of Rome was founded in about 753 BC, by a group of shepherds. It sat at an ideal

Some of the concepts and inventions were from the regions they conquered, but they were so adept at improving their enemies technology that they took the credit for creating most of the technology. Therefore, making impossible for modern people to distinguish between original Roman inventions and other regions or empires inventions. The Roman Empire was remarkable and their techniques, concepts and tools have influenced people throughout history and it could be said that the Romans were the foundation humankind need it to extend and affirm its power. It was not easy for the Roman Empire to achieve so many exceptional accomplishment when some of their emperors were not qualified to rule and its enemies were always trying to invade the empire.
