The Epistle of Paul to the Romans is a letter of introduction to Christianity for the Jews and the Gentiles of Rome. The letter to the Romans is fairly different than a number of other letters that had been written by Paul because this letter is not in response to situations or concerning events that’s going on in Rome, rather, it is a little more relaxed and informative. Paul gives to the Romans introductory and foundational information that appears to be somewhat of a precursor for when he arrives
In the Roman Republic, citizens were divided into two political castes: the Patricians and Plebeians. The Patricians were a wealthy upper class who were descended from the earliest Roman families, while the Plebeians were essentially "everyone else." As I have explored in the fourth entry of my Learning Journal, one reason why the Plebeians were so important was that they comprised the vast majority of Rome's total population. As such, they had certain power to control the direction of the Republic;
Ancient Rome was an agrarian and slave based economy whose main concern was feeding the vast number of citizens and legionaries who populated the Mediterranean region. Agriculture and trade dominated Roman economic fortunes, only supplemented by small scale industrial production. The staple crops of Roman farmers in Italy were various grains, olives, and grapes. Olive oil and wine, outside of direct food stuffs, were among the most important products in the ancient civilized world and led Italy's exports

The Roman constitution has three elements, but their share of power was so well regulated people are still unsure whether the republic was a democracy (A democracy is a system of government in which people have the right to empower rules, usually through representatives) or more of an aristocracy (a form of government where the authority is held by the nobility) or a despotism (a form of government where the ruler has absolute power).

reasons but the main reason was that of poor leadership. Romes emperors were too selfish to even think about how to save the Roman empire. Poor leadership was caused by factors like selfishness, war, not addressing the needs of the people, and premature deaths. Many emperors died in battle or were assassinated before they could make a difference in the empire. Almost all of the Roman emperors were self-centered, egotistical, and greedy.
