    Extractions: and Technical Assistance by Valerie Roybal O n December 21, 1991, 11 high-level communist party officials passed a resolution that proclaimed "the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics shall henceforth cease to exist." It was an extraordinary occurrence, instituting an agreement which transformed the political and economic relationships that defined that neighborhood and the entire world community for the previous 50 years. The event was unprecedented in modern times. Not since the Fall of the Roman Empire has the world changed so dramatically for so many people. The occurrence did not only open up the countries of the former Soviet Union to extreme transformation, it opened up potentially endless opportunities for economic development and one of the richest laboratories for social scientists, professional and layman alike. Since this fall of the Soviet Union, Gregory Gleason, associate professor of Political Science and Public Administration and chair of the Russian Studies Program at UNM, has been actively involved in research and technical assistance in the former USSR. As a researcher and scholar, he has been recording and analyzing the transition and post-transition phases into democracy, as well as participating in the groundwork for the formation of the new social institutions that will define these countries and impact the world for the next 50 years and beyond.

Jesus was born a Jew and considered himself part of the Jewish community in the Galilean village of Nazareth on the border of the Roman Empire. He and his followers adhered to the Jewish way of life; Jesus preached a gospel that accepted the fundamental concepts of the Law and the Prophets. See also PBS' Frontline series, " From Jesus to Christ: The First Christians ." The separation between Jesus and his followers on the one hand, and Jews on the other hand, sharpened when the followers of Jesus claimed that he was the Messiah of Israel. This led to the foundation of communities of Jews not conforming to the Laws of Moses. Within a short time the non-conforming Jews formed a majority, and by the year 70 C.E., the schism was more marked. Image: Arch of Titus in Rome.

    Extractions: De Monarchia in the 21st Century By John J. Reilly “In writing the introduction to a work of political philosophy there is a temptation to attribute more importance to the work in question than it can properly claim. With Dante's Monarchy this temptation scarcely arises; for many have dismissed the treatise as a dream, the vision of an idealist out of touch with political realities who was yearning for an Empire that had passed away.” S o wrote Donald Nicholl in his introduction to the English translation (Noonday Press, 1954) that I used for this essay. There is a sense in which his assessment remains true 49 years later. It has been a long time since many people had much enthusiasm for the Holy Roman Empire, which was the particular instance of universal polity that Dante was defending. The paucity of translations of De Monarchia into English might also be taken as evidence of lasting irrelevance. (The Latin original is, oddly enough, available online, at no charge.) Some things have changed in the past half-century, however. The prospect of new forms of transnational governance is often discussed these days, either as a promise or a threat. Moreover, the dream-like abstraction of Dante's arguments may allow for modern re-interpretation in a way that would not be possible to a more concrete and historically grounded analysis. It is very unlikely that

WARMAN PROLOGUE The following brief is believed to have been presented to a Grand Jury in the State of California circa 1982 in an attempt to correct judicial abuse of people involved in patriot and income tax protest movements. Many people were being incarcerated as political prisoners of what is apparently a "shadow government" now in control of the USA. These patriots were attempting to educate as many of the general public as would hear their message. Unfortunately, short-sighted self-interest and apathy seem to have prevailed. Editors notes: Apologies to the original author of this treatise. It came into my possession with author anonymous. New information about the US Constitution has come to light since this paper was written. That information may effect the value of some of the following information. The Constitution was never properly ratified; and, is , therefore, not a proper Common Law constitution. It appears that it is being used as a Roman Law 'operating orders' or 'ship's orders'; as, all bodies politic and corporate are make-believe ships in the Roman system. INTRODUCTION We have a problem and we are here to analyze that problem. Why do the courts refuse to admit certain arguments and cites of the United States Constitution? And further, find some in contempt of court if they persist in doing so? Why is there so little justice in our courts today? Our problem is, we have been fighting the wrong thingplaying the wrong ball game.

    Extractions: Volume Thirty-Seven Essays in History Published by the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia. Scholars of Late Antiquity (the period roughly from A.D. 300-600) have long labored under the shadow of two monumental works: Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1787) and M. I. Rostovtzeff's Social and Economic History of the Roman Empire (1926). Though Gibbon, an intellectual of the Enlightenment, and Rostovtzeff, a Russian Marxist, approached their topic from very different viewpoints, they both agreed that the "transformation" of Western civilization from the Roman Empire to the Middle Ages was a story of decline and decay. While Gibbon favored a moral and cultural explanation, Rostovtzeff not surprisingly emphasized economic and social factors. The last generation of scholars, however, has begun to revise this earlier scholarship. With the publication of A. H. M. Jones's The Later Roman Empire, 284-602.

    Extractions: In Medieval times (from about the 11th century onward) there was a renewed interest in the law of the Romans. Initially, Roman Law was only studied by scholars and taught at the universities, Bologna being the first place where Roman Law was taught. Soon Roman Law came to be applied in legal practiceespecially in the area of civil law. This process of (re-) adoption (reception) of Roman Law occurred at varied times and to various extents across all of Europe ( England being the most important exception). Thus from about the 16th century onward, Roman Law was in force throughout most of Europe. However, in the process of adoption/reception many Roman rules were amalgamated with, or amended to suit, the legal norms of the various European nations. Thus, Roman rules, applied in Europe at this period, were by no means identical with Roman Law from antiquity. Nonetheless, because the law that had evolved was common to most European countries, it was called the Ius Commune (common law).

    Extractions: Before we tell the story of how the Second Commonwealth of Israel met its sad end at the hands of the Roman Empire, let us step back in time and delve into what Rome was about, and how it became a power that challenged the mighty Greeks. Rome started out as a city-state, dating its history to 753 BCE. The founding of the city is rooted in a famous legend: It was common practice of the settlers of the banks of the Tiber River to keep "vestal virgins" on whom they believed their fate rested. These young women had to stay pure and chaste, and if any vestal virgin strayed, she was put to death by being buried alive. In the 8th century BCE one vestal virgin, named Rhea Silvia, found herself pregnant. But she got pregnant through no fault of her own she was raped by the god Mars!

    Extractions: Unit 4: Late Antiquity / Transformation of Empire A Reaction to Diocletian's Reforms, ca. 315 The Tetrarchs Finding the third-century Empire too vast and beset with turmoil to rule alone, Diocletian, in one of his major reforms, deicided not to rule alone. He created the tetrarchy, a system of four emperors, two senior Augusti and their subordinates and eventual successors, the Caesares . Each Augustus had responsibility for one half the Empire, Diocletian choosing the wealthier east. The Augusti would choose their Caesares on the basis of personal ability, not family connection. Diocletian hoped to solve the succession struggles that had plagued the Empire in this fashion. It worked briefly, but after Diocletian died the relatives of the retired Augusti made war on their appointed successors, plunging the Empire into conflict. A more lasting legacy was division and multiple emperors ruling simultaneously, sometimes in conflict and sometimes not. This sculpture shows the tetrachs in idealized form. Constantine the Great Constantine considered himself “the restorer of the Roman Empire” since he unified it following the collapse of Diocletian’s tertarchy. The militarization of the Empire continued under him as he expanded the use of mobile field armies staffed primarily by barbarians. His numerous treaties with German tribes initiated a policy of conciliation and alliance which eventually led to the formation of barbarian kingdoms within the Western Empire. The reforms of Diocletian and Constantine created a more stable empire, but one which was very distinct from its predecessor.

    Extractions: Heritage > The Romans In ancient times, there were few bridges, and those that existed were not always safe. This made it difficult to cross rivers, and even boats were not always around when needed. But in the River Tiber in Italy, 20 kilometres from its mouth, was the Tiberine Island, which made it easier for people to cross. Gradually, the Island became a more and more popular spot for getting across the river. The area was closed in and protected by seven hills. These would become the seven hills of Rome, and the few farmers living in the area were the first Romans. By AD 114, the Empire stretched from Scotland in the north to Egypt in the south, and from Spain in the west to the Persian Gulf in the east. All the people within this area could call themselves Romans. All this was united by a single government, an international legal system, and the language of Latin. Nearly two millennia later, Europe is just beginning to approach some kind of unity in law and government.

By rearranging here the laws of the Theodosian Code Theodosian Code is "more text-conservative" than the Justinianic Code (152), and the dating, probably performed by the commissioners themselves, was 89 percent accurate (150). Yet if there is some editing (even if not very much), and one in ten laws is incorrectly dated (and must be redated on the basis of style [p. x]), the certainties on which the stylistic analysis depends become a little less certain. Ninety percent of eighty-nine percent is eighty-one percent: for some, the chariot may be slowing on the back stretch. Theodosian Code considered their laws "brief" and "clear," even though these laws might seem "obscure and wordy" to us (127). The

The question why the empire fell is an important one because many people believe that the answer might reveal a flaw or weakness in Western civilization itself. This question may or may not have an answer, but we have to understand the nature of the empire before considering how and why it fell. 1. The Roman empire was not unique. It was one of the classical empires of the Old World. These empires Han China, Mauryan India, Sassanid Persia and the Rome arose in the period 200-100 BC, and were characterized by the fact that they were formed by the union of at least two widely disparate geographical regions. Han China had arisen in the valley of the northern, Huang-ho River and had conquered the southern Yang-tze River valley; Mauryan India had expanded from the valley of the Indus River to occupy the valley of the Ganges River; the Persians, inhabitants of mountains and plateau of what is now the nation of Iran, had gained control of Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), the basin of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers; the Romans, inhabitants of a small town in Italy, in the western basin of the Mediterranean, had manages to conquer first the entire western basin, and then the eastern basin of this almost land-locked body of water. 2. Let's consider the differences between the western portion of the empire, centered on the western Mediterranean, and the eastern portion, which included lands that had been deeply influenced by Greek culture.

    Extractions: 7 May 1998 If the pagans of the first century were amazed by the love which Christians bore one another, those of later centuries could have been equally astonished at the loathing and intolerance the upholders of loving God and their fellowmen displayed towards their associates whose formulae for defining the indefinable differed from their own. For many years, I wondered what happened to Christianity between the Sermon on the Mount and the Spanish Inquisition. How did the teachings of Jesus become so completely reversed in Christian practice? For the first 300 years, Christianity spread without violence, permeating the world like yeast in bread, by preaching a better God and a Master worth following, and by demonstrating a better way to live both here and hereafter. Then, sometime between AD 300 and 400, everything changed. Suddenly, Christians were the persecutors, instead of the persecuted, and remained so until modern times.
