Roman Culture Compared To Today's Society

Ever wonder what happened to Rome? Rome was one of the most powerful civilizations of the Middle Ages. Nevertheless, Rome was overcome by weak leaders and Barbaric Invasion. The Roman Empire started in 753 (before common era) to 476 (common era) . Rome was in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Fall of Rome was caused by weak leaders and barbaric invasions.

Rome was one of the most powerful forces in the Mediterranean at their time in power. They had their first major victory in the punic wars against Carthage. This win provided them with more territory and power, and soon enough they used this to conquer the rest of the Mediterranean. But they didn’t stay in power forever, eventually they did fall. The question is why? The most contributing reason to Rome’s fall was its poor leadership. That’s right, it wasn’t just the power of other forces, Rome fell from within.

Rome was a very powerful empire when it started they had conquered many empires at the time this is one of the reasons why we still study them to day. They had made many enemies and were at the top. Until one day they had became weak and lazy this will soon lead to what we call today the “fall”of Rome. First of one of the main problems were the case of foreign invasions.

At around 395 C.E. it was very clear that there were two different Rome’s, this was largely due to there being multiple people trying to govern Rome. Rome was split into eastern and western Rome, after this division, western Rome started to experience many troubles. Between cultural decay, military struggles, and a poor economy, western Rome eventually fell apart, on the other hand, there are some that strongly believe that the decline of Rome was caused by the rise of Christianity, this claim lacks strong evidence to support it, making other explanation much more reasonable.

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.

Beginning in the eighth century B.C., Ancient Rome grew from a small town in the center of Italy near the Tiber River into an empire that, at its peak, defeated and conquered most of continental Europe, Britain, western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. From the start, the Romans showed a talent for borrowing and improving upon the skills and concepts of other cultures.The Kingdom of Rome grew rapidly from a trading town to a prosperous city between the 8th and 6th centuries BCE. Among the many expansions of the Roman empire, they started to gain dominance over other well-known practices and were able to widespread the Romance languages derived from Latin, the modern Western alphabet and calendar, and the emergence of Christianity

Like waves, Rome once was tall and strong, but eventually, every wave comes crashing down. Starting around 750 BCE was a strong and powerful empire- Rome. After fighting to get territory and succeeding, Rome took over places such as the Mediterranean sea and colonies in North Africa, the middle east, Egypt, and the asia minor. Caesar became a powerful emperor and led Rome to a time of peace (Pax Romana). Rome rose, but like most, eventually fell due to laziness, then causing invasion.

For a long period of time, Rome seemed like an unstoppable empire. It conquered the majority of the land surrounding it, including Greece, Turkey, Iraq, and many of its other neighboring countries. It seemed as though Rome would conquer the entire world, as it was the center of it, until it began to decline in 476 C.E. The very aspects that made it so successful were the ones that caused its collapse. Various political, religious, and economic reasons caused its downfall. The fact that the entire economy of Rome collapsed and money became worthless was a major reason for the empire’s collapse. In addition, the loss of a common religion and lack of efficient ruling in relation to its vast territory affected the empire. The Roman

The rise of the Roman Empire had many contributors. These factors would include strength in the military, society, leadership, religious, and architectural aspects of the

     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

Ancient Rome was a large empire that dated back to 753 BCE. In its approximately 12 centuries of existence Ancient Rome evolved from a monarchy, to a classical republic and then to an increasingly autocratic empire. Ancient Rome was one of the largest empires of the ancient world with an estimated of 50 to 90 million inhabitants. Ancient Rome society has contributed to such things as modern government, law, art and religion To a very large extent, the lives of freedmen in Ancient Rome were influenced by their past (being a slave) and by their social class. This can been seen through how they actually become free, the contact that they have with their ex-masters and what political rights they had.

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

Between 500 BCE and 500 CE, the Roman civilization experienced changes both politically and culturally. Firstly, Rome’s government transitioned from a Republic to an Empire. Later, that empire was split into two parts; east and west. In terms of changes in culture, it was impacted by the shift in religion, as the Romans shifted from polytheism to monotheism. Despite all the changes, Rome still remained culturally diverse.

By eighth century B.C, Ancient Rome grew from a small town on the Tiber River into a world empire. When Rome was at its peak, it had overtaken most of continental Europe, Britain, many parts of western Asia, northern Africa, and the Mediterranean islands (Ancient Rome. (n.d.). Among the many things the Romans left behind from their dominance are the worldwide use of romance languages (Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese) that came from Latin. The current western alphabet and the coming of Christianity as a major worldwide religion are other things that Rome left behind (Ancient Rome. (n.d.). After 450 years Rome became an empire in the wake of Julius Caesar’s rise and fall. The long and victorious reign of Rome’s first emperor, Augustus, began a golden age of peace and prosperity; in contrast, the empire’s decline and fall by fifth century A.D was one of the most dramatic implosions in the history of human civilization. Legend has it that Romulus and Remus found Rome, the twin sons of mars (Ancient Rome. (n.d.). Rome’s era as a monarchy ended by 509 B.C. with the overthrow of the seventh king, King Lucius Tarquinus Superbus, whom ancient historians depicted as a brutal and tyrannical, compared to his benevolent predecessors. Eventually Rome did turn from a monarchy into a republic (Ancient Rome. (n.d.).

Ancient Rome has left a legacy for the world. During 8th century BCE (753 BCE) the roman civilisation was founded and in control of most of the known world. Rome was known as a violent city that brought slavery and death and gained power through wars, but other rulers brought peace and prosperity (Wikipedia 2015). In 117 CE the Roman Empire ruled all of Italy, Mediterranean’s and much of Europe including England, Wales and some of Scotland. (Nat Geo kids 2015).
