Extractions: Republic , in which Rome is ruled by its Senate and its assembly, which were institutions formed at the beginning of the monarchy. The history of the Republic is a history of continuous warfare; all of the historical stories which the Romans will use as stories of Roman virtue and values date from this tumultuous period of defense and invasion. consuls , who were two patricians elected to the office for one year. These patricians exercised imperium in much the same way the kings had in the Roman monarchy. These consuls initiated legislation, served as the head of the judiciary and the military, and served as chief priests to the nation. They even dressed as monarchs, by wearing purple robes and sitting on the seat traditionally reserved for the monarch: the ivory chair. imperium but their power was severely hamstrung by the circumstances of their office. As a result, the consuls did not exercise much initiative or creativity, so Roman government tended to be highly conservative and cautious. This, however, was the intent of the consular system. In 325 BC, however, the consul system was changed to allow for proconsuls , who were consuls whose terms in office were extended because of military campaigns.

Later, the Jews were ruled by Persia, Greece, and the Roman Empire. In Jesus' time Palestine was ruled by the Herods, who were governors under the Roman Empire. Despite centuries of often oppressive foreign domination, both the Old and New Testaments stress the importance of government for protection and for maintaining order. We should support our government, pay its taxes, and obey its laws, even though they may be imperfect: Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with the rebellious, for those two will send sudden destruction upon them, and who knows what calamities they can bring? (NIV, Proverbs 24:21-22) Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. (NAS, Romans 13:1)

Extractions: See my 3-D project. The Death of Julius Caesar and the Beginning of The Roman Empire Julius Caesar By 50 B.C., the Roman Republic had grown tremendously. Society had changed from a small farming community to one of rich and greedy landowners who ignored the poor. Dishonest leaders kept money from RomeÕs wars, and the poor rebelled. Roman society began to fall apart, and power-hungry generals in the army began to fight each other for power. Julius Caesar was an ambitious general who knew he had to gain military respect to become the leader of Rome. Caesar did gain the respect he wanted, yet other ambitious military leaders competed with him for power. Eventually, they realized that the only way to get rid of him was to kill him. CaesarÕs legacy of power lived on when his adopted son Octavian (also known as Augustus) fought and won political power. The Roman Republic died when Caesar, declared himself dictator, and the Roman Empire began under Augustus. Roman records tell us that Julius Caesar was born between 102 and 100 B.C. He died on March 15, 44 B.C. He had a long political career with many different positions. Julius Caesar returned to Rome in July, 45 B.C. after military victory in Gaul, and declared himself dictator for life. He was given four triumphs for his successes in Gaul, Egypt, Asia Minor and North Africa. No other Roman had ever received so many. (A triumph was a fantastic staged exhibition including some sea fights, land battles with elephants and prisoners paraded through the streets).

Extractions: Democracy has existed since the time of Caesar . Most people, when asked, would choose Democracy as the preferred form of government. What is a Democracy? Is the United States government a Democracy? By definition a Democracy is considered: "A system of government in which effective political power is vested in the people." (additional reading on topic) . Does the U.S government today follow this description? The Roman Republic was also considered a Democracy. The focus of this document is to examine the structure of each government and to compare commonalties and differences of these two governments that are"Democracies". Although the Romans never had a written constitution their government roughly parallels the modern American division of the three branches. Our founding fathers believed a Republic was a governmental system in which the power of the people was only used indirectly. The Romans used their power through freely elected officials who made government decisions according to the popular vote. In ancient Rome only men who owned land were allowed to have a say in any of the lawmaking (additional reading on topic) . "Romans found out very early that they did not have a desire for a King, even if he was very wise and benevolent ruler. "
Extractions: and the Slavs occupied the Illyrian Provinces. (Napisao: gosp. Marko Mareliæ - allthecookies@mindspring.com , s. Francisco - USA) German tribes exerted pressure on the Roman frontier. In the 4th century A.D. most Germanic peoples in Europe were living east of the Rhine and north of the Danube. To the east, north of the Black Sea, were the East Goths (Ostrogoths) and the West Goths (Visigoths). To the west of these tribes and extending over a large area of the Rhine were the Vandals, Lombards, Alemanni, Burgundians, and Franks. In and near present day Denmark lived the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons. These groups were seminomadic, herding their flocks and tilling the soil. Large and vigorous, the people prized strength and courage in battle. They worshiped many gods, including Tiw, the god of war; Wotan, the chief of the gods; Thor, the god of thunder; and Freya, the goddess of fertility. (The names of these deities are preserved in the English words Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.) The German tribal assemblies were made up of voting freeman, and their laws were based on long-established customs of the tribe. These political practices were to have a strong influence in medieval England, where they laid a foundation for the rise of parliamentary government and English common law.

Extractions: Without repeating what has been already mentioned of the reverence of the Roman princes and governors for the temple of Jerusalem, we shall only observe that the destruction of the temple and city was accompanied and followed by every circumstance that could exasperate the minds of the conquerors, and authorise religious persecutions by the most specious arguments of political justice and the public safety. From the reign of Nero to that of Antoninus Pius, the Jews discovered a fierce impatience of the dominion of Rome, which repeatedly broke out in the most furious massacres and insurrections. Humanity is shocked at the recital of the horrid cruelties which they committed in the cities of Egypt, of Cyprus, and of Cyrene, where they dwelt in treacherous friendship with the unsuspecting natives; and we are tempted to applaud the severe retaliation which was exercised by the arms of the legions against a race of fanatics whose dire and credulous superstition seemed to render them the implacable enemies not only of the Roman government, but of human kind.

Extractions: The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire In The West General Observations On The Fall Of The Roman Empire In The West THE Greeks, after their country had been reduced into a province, imputed the triumphs of Rome, not to the merit, but to the FORTUNE, of the republic. The inconstant goddess who so blindly distributes and resumes her favours, had now consented (such was the language of envious flattery) to resign her wings, to descend from her globe, and to fix her firm and immutable throne on the banks of the Tiber. A wiser Greek, who has composed, with a philosophic spirit, the memorable history of his own times, deprived his countrymen of this vain and delusive comfort, by opening to their view the deep foundations of the greatness of Rome. The fidelity of the citizens to each other and to the state was confirmed by the habits of education and the prejudices of religion. Honour, as well as virtue, was the principle of the republic; the ambitious citizens laboured to deserve the solemn glories of a triumph; and the ardour of the Roman youth was kindled into active emulation as often as they beheld the domestic images of their ancestors. The temperate struggles of the patricians and plebeians had finally established the firm and equal balance of the constitution, which united the freedom of popular assemblies with the authority and wisdom of a senate and the executive powers of a regal magistrate. When the consul displayed the standard of the republic, each citizen bound himself, by the obligation of an oath, to draw his sword in the cause of his country till he had discharged the sacred duty by a military service of ten years. This wise institution continually poured into the field the rising generations of freemen and soldiers; and their numbers were reinforced by the warlike and populous states of Italy, who, after a brave resistance, had yielded to the valour and embraced the alliance of the Romans. The sage historian, who excited the virtue of the younger Scipio and beheld the ruin of Carthage

Roman Government NB This diagram shows the ladder of political advancement (cursus honorum) during the late Republic. of roman history, women were prohibited from holding political office, though in the empire http://www.vroma.org/~bmcmanus/romangvt.html
Extractions: NB: This diagram shows the ladder of political advancement ( cursus honorum ivory folding stool sella curulis ) as a symbol of their office; they also had the right to wear the purple-bordered toga ( toga praetexta ). Offices marked with an asterisk carried imperium During the Empire, most of these offices remained in place, though their functions changed. Most significantly, imperium was now reserved for the emperor, and advancement in rank proceeded in orderly stages based on conditions laid down by the emperors rather than through competitive electioneering. Thus the cursus honorum changed from a ladder of power (with important social status attached) to a ladder of primarily social rank and status. The cursus honorum was, of course, reserved for men; during the entire period of Roman history, women were prohibited from holding political office, though in the Empire their roles as mothers, wives, and daughters of emperors gave a few women very high social status and even a kind of indirect rank. Even elite women who were not members of the imperial family sometimes claimed the rank of their fathers or husbands (e.g., as consulares feminae conflict of orders system of checks and balances limited terms of political office (usually one-year term; eligible for election to higher office in 2-3 years. and for re-election to the same office in 10 years)

Extractions: In 44 BC Gaius Julius Caesar, the Roman leader who ruled the Roman Republic as a dictator, was assassinated. Rome descended into more than ten years of civil war and political upheaval. After Caesar's heir Gaius Octavius (also known as Octavian) defeated his last rivals, the Senate in 27 BC proclaimed him Augustus, meaning the exalted or holy one. In this way Augustus established the monarchy that became known as the Roman Empire. The Roman Republic, which had lasted nearly 500 years, was dead, never to be revived. The empire would endure for another 500 years until AD 476 The Romans formed that synthesis during the longest continuous period of peaceful prosperity that the Mediterranean world has ever known. Even after a German invader in AD 476 deposed Romulus Augustulus, the last emperor residing in Rome, emperors who called themselves "Roman" (although they are known historically as Byzantine) continued to rule in Constantinople until AD 1453 (See Byzantine Empire). The impact of the Roman people endures until the present day.

(For later events of the Empire of the East, see Byzantine Empire The early historical record BC BC ) are the most poorly documented periods of Roman history. Historical writing at Rome did not begin until the late 3rd century BC Ancient Roman historians initially differed over the precise date of Rome's foundation. By the end of the republic, however, it was generally accepted that Rome had been founded in 753 BC and that the republic had begun in 509 BC , following the overthrow of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the last of Rome's seven kings. According to tradition, the first six kings had been benevolent rulers, but the last was a cruel tyrant who was overthrown by a popular uprising. The prevalent modern view is that the monarchy at Rome was incidentally terminated through military defeat and foreign intervention. This theory sees Rome as a site highly prized by the Etruscans in the 6th century

Roman Empire - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia The roman empire s influence on government, law, and monumanetal architecture, as well as many other aspects of Western life remains inescapable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire
Extractions: Roman empire at its maximal extent (117 AD) The Roman Empire is the term conventionally used to describe the Roman state in the centuries following its reorganization under the leadership of Caesar Augustus . Although Rome possessed a collection of tribute-states for centuries before the autocracy of Augustus, the pre-Augustan state is conventionally described as the Roman Republic . The difference between the Roman Empire and the Roman Republic lies primarily in the governing bodies and their relationship to each other. For many years, historians made a distinction between the Principate , the period from Augustus until the Crisis of the Third Century , and the Dominate , the period from Diocletian until the end of the Empire in the West. According to this theory, during the Principate, from the Latin word princeps , meaning "the first," the only title Augustus would permit himself, the realities of dictatorship were cleverly hidden behind Republican forms, while during the Dominate, from the word dominus , meaning "Master", imperial power showed its naked face, with golden crowns and ornate imperial ritual. We now know that the situation was far more nuanced: certain historical forms continued until the
