The Roman Republic and the Roman Empire highly differ in their political structures. The republic: created in 509 BCE. was a form of representative democracy. It consisted of 2 consuls of which were appointed by the senate and then voted on. These consuls were the head officers and the were appointed for one year. The senate was one of two legislative bodies comprised of 300 senators and 10 tribunes who were all patricians.

The Roman Empire was a significant player in the world scene during the rise of the Multi-Cultural Empires. Specifically, there were two Roman leaders, Augustus and Constantine the Great who had significant influences on the Empire. The Roman navy and the Mediterranean Sea played a significant role in Rome’s ability to expand its territory and power.

Even with the flawed nature of their ambition, there are positive affects. “For brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name), Disdaining fortune, with his brandished steel, which smoked of bloody execution, like valor's minion, carved out his pass till he faced the slave”(Act 1 Sc. 2 18-22).The introduction of the future King Macbeth invokes a gallant impression of a character that has not been introduced yet. King Duncan is told of his soldiers brave deeds on the battlefield, and how Macbeth did justice in the name of Duncan. From the perspective of these characters, the fact that his sword “smoked of bloody execution” symbolizes the honor a soldier may acquire through his victories on the battlefield. The introduction of Macbeth as a warrior

Roman Empire was considered as one of the most influential and dominant Empire in the history that has ever existed. “The Roman Empire at its zenith in the period of the Principate (roughly, 27 BC to AD 235) covered vast tracts of three continents, Europe, Africa, and Asia” (Garnsey). It was an ancient, modern Empire, and it supported anyone who made discoveries and technological improvements. The Empire was the strongest governing body in the Mediterranean.

The Roman Republic was what built up the foundation for the Roman Empire. During the Republic, a small group of people started from scratch and developed their own systems, which later develops into the Roman Empire. The strong leaders of the Republic had conquered much land and people for Rome. The Roman Republic thus ignites Roman civilization, which leads on to the second step- the Roman Empire.

Initially, the Roman republic had two different kinds of people; the Plebeians and the Patricians. When the Republic had just started to grow, the Patricians, wealthy landowners, were in charge of the senate. Unfortunately, they also ruled the Plebeians, the majority of Rome’s population. Plebeians

The Roman Empire was during a time which the government was head by emperors and they held land around the Mediterranean Sea. The imperial period of Rome was about 1,500 Republican lasted about 500 years. The empires existence was a time where they were political stabile and is known as the Roman Peace.

Austria in the beginning was settled in ancient times in central Europe and occupied by several Celtic tribes in pre-Roman times. The land was claimed by the Roman Empire once the Celtic tribe Noricum fell to the Empire and became a providence. Once the Roman Empire gained control of the area, it soon set up a Military camp on the eastern side of the providence calling it the Upper Pannonia providence which was the home for 50,000 people for nearly 400 years. After the fall of the Roman Empire; Charlemagne, King of the Franks, had control of the land at around 788AD. The name of the country Austria was first recorded in history in 966AD or also known as The Republic of Austria in which is the formal name. The people of Austria are referred to as Austrians because of the history Austria being applied to the 17th and 18th century when the land was associated as Habsburg Austria. The Official language in Austria is German and has a population of 8.61 million people with having a birth rate (9.41/1000) and having a death rate (9.42/1000) which the country has a 0.55% of growth in the population ranking it 153rd in the world.

Rome was an empire with extremely high aspirations and expectations from. Its founders chose to steal women from neighboring villages, in order to grow its population. These aggressive and expansionary ideologies remained within the personalities of every Roman, living inside the great empire 755 years later. And yet despite its vast military presence and growing cities and towns, the Roman Empire and its capital still succumbed to a barbarian takeover. This was widely regarded as one of the greatest tragedies in ancient history, and to this day it remains as one of the most prominent events in history, affecting hundreds of thousands of individuals, residing within the empire and in the world surrounding it. After the removal of Romulus Augustus, the last emperor of Rome, the empire and the ancient world was plunged into a “Dark Age”, filled with desperation and hardships for all involved. The political element of the empire, controlled by Odoacer, did not have the roman people’s prosperity as its main priority, rather it focused on militaristic advancements and left the citizens of the empire to suffer. The “invasions” of barbarian tribes, lead to the dissolution of the empire, regardless of their level of hostile intent. The quantity and quality of the contributions and benefits provided by the empire to its citizens was vast, and via osmosis, this prosperity was transferred to the inhabitants of the surrounding civilizations. As a result of Rome’s collapse, these

A little over 2000 years ago Rome was one of the most important cities in the world. With its many emperors and armies it had gained control of a vast area of modern Europe known as the Roman Empire. Historians have linked several factors which led to the demise of the

The era dominated by Roman empire is one the most well-known and influential periods of history, home to famous names from Julius Caesar to Jesus Christ.

However, the Roman empire’s treatment of their conquered people’s and their own citizens ultimately led to the permanent downfall of Rome.

Established in 753 BCE by a Etruscan colony on the River Tiber in Italy, the city was controlled by Etruscan Kings until 509 BCE. Whence the people rose up against the monarchy to establish the Roman Republic, and fought for control of central Italy for the next 30 years. (Dr David Lundberg, 2017, pp.6-7) Thus the Roman Republic became a contending force in Western Europe, and across the Mediterranean for the next 450 years. (J.M.Roberts & Odd Arne Westad, 2013, p.218) Instead of a king, two consuls and an assembly of elected magistrates were installed to rule the Roman Republic. Before a new set of consuls, and new magistrates were elected by the citizens each year. Additionally, legislative and consultative bodies were elected as Tribunes of the people, who managed the affairs of the government and managed conflicts that arose
