Roman History (Note: A brief description of the Roman controlled Germania Provinces along the Rhenus (Rhine) River. A more detailed look at “free” Germanic territory [Germania Magna] and the Danube region, including the campaigns of Marcus Aurelius will be covered elsewhere) From the third century BC onwards the Germanic world was continually affected by migrations that would continue to gain momentum and significance as time advanced. Rome’s first major contact with Germanic people came in the late 2nd Century BC when members of the Cimbri and Teutoni tribes wandered en masse into Southern Europe and Gallia. These migrations were neither simple warrior-raids nor armies on the march, as the Romans were accustomed to, but the complete relocation of entire tribes of people. Displacing Celtic tribes as they moved, the force of these “first-contacts” was a harbinger of what would come over the next several centuries. In 113 BC, the Cimbri and Teutoni defeated a Roman army under Gnaeus Papirius Carbo in Noricum. They then pushed west of the Rhenus and threatened the territory of the Celtic Allobroges. A request to settle the land was refused by Rome, and in 109 BC they again defeated another Roman army under Marcus Junius Silanus in southern Gaul. They didn’t follow up by pressing further and disappeared from Roman influence, but by 105 BC, the Cimbri King Boiorix and the roving Germans returned. They crushed the armies of Mallius and Caepio at Arausio (Orange), killing over 60,000 Roman Legionaries.

    Extractions: There are many great moments of the powerful Legions, many capable and good commander. I would like to hear which battles are in your opinion the best of the best. As there is not a single one that would stand out (or so I believe), feel free to discuss and argue which are the best moments for the Roman Army. The battle came about as a result of a massive invasion of the Goths into Roman territory in late 268 and in the early months of 269. The Goths pushed across the Danube River and made their way into the wealthy Roman province of Pannonia, where they looted and sacked several cities. It was thought by many that their next stop was going to be Rome itself.

Increased Military spending Reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire All left Rome open to outside invaders adapted from History Alive material There were many reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire. Each one intertwined with the next. Many even blame the introduction of Christianity for the decline. Christianity made many Roman citizens into pacifists, making it more difficult to defend against the barbarian attackers. Also money used to build churches could have been used to maintain the empire. Although some argue that Christianity may have provided some morals and values for a declining civilization and therefore may have actually prolonged the imperial era. Decline in Morals and Values Those morals and values that kept together the Roman legions and thus the empire could not be maintained towards the end of the empire. Crimes of violence made the streets of the larger cities unsafe. Even during PaxRomana there were 32,000 prostitutes in Rome. Emperors like Nero and Caligula became infamous for wasting money on lavish parties where guests ate and drank until they became ill. The most popular amusement was watching the gladiatorial combats in the Colosseum. These were attended by the poor, the rich, and frequently the emperor himself. As gladiators fought, vicious cries and curses were heard from the audience. One contest after another was staged in the course of a single day. Should the ground become too soaked with blood, it was covered over with a fresh layer of sand and the performance went on.

    Extractions: Introductory Notes : The Holy Roman Empire, in the 17th and 18th centuries, much as the UN today, had no armed forces of her own, but depended on states within the Empire to contribute military forces. The Holy Roman Empire did, however, designate certain fortresses as Imperial; in the 18th century they were usually garrisoned by Austrian or Prussian troops. Sweden, a traditional French ally, in 1675 invaded Brandenburg, in order to relieve pressure the French armies felt on the Rhine front. In the BATTLE OF FEHRBELLIN (June 28th 1675), Brandenburgian and Saxon troops defeated the Swedes; in alliance with the Danes, Swedish Pomerania including Stettin (1678), Stralsund (1678) and Greifswald were taken; the Brandenburgers even attacked the Swedes at Riga. However, Saxony turned sides; Brandenburg, frustrated by the lack of imperial support, was to give up most of her gains at the negotiation table.

    Extractions: Contents Previous Article Next Article Little is known about the early history of the Goths before they came into contact with the Romans. What little evidence we have indicates that they probably came from Scandinavia. In the first millennium B. C., they crossed the Baltic Sea and migrated into Northeastern Europe in the area occupied by Poland today. Later, they moved again and made their home in the area north of the Black Sea. Nobody knows for sure what caused these migrations but they became known as the Wanderings of the Peoples. Anthropologists speculate that changes in climate caused the land to produce less food and forage for animals during this period and the excess population had to look for new homes. The Roman historian Tacitus describes the Germans, of whom the Goths are a group, as a people with nomadic lifestyle and a love for warfare. They looked down on farming as a way of life and actually considered the hardworking farmer lazy because he was not willing to make a living by warfare and plunder. According to Tacitus, the Germans considered laziness to be "acquiring by honest toil that which you might procure by the shedding of blood". It is interesting to note that racism was just as much a part of the human experience 1900 years ago as it is today. In this case, it was a short, olive skinned people who were the dominant culture and the tall blond and redheaded people were considered brutish, ugly and oversized, lacking in intelligence, difficult to civilize, and overly fond of warfare, murder, and pillaging. In spite of his comments, Tacitus does show admiration for the energetic and freedom - loving German people.

    Extractions: Invaders and Diminishing Roman Power After the Visigoths besieged and departed from Rome, a storm frustrated their plans to cross from southern Italy into North Africa. The Visigoth leader, Alaric, died, and instead of trying to cross the Mediterranean the Visigoths journeyed north into southwestern Gaul , spreading what to some appeared to be God's punishment of Rome. From his palace in Ravenna , the Roman emperor in the west, Honorius, felt obliged to make peace with the Visigoths. His sister, Placidia, married their new leader, Atauf. And, in 418, the Visigoths were granted a legal domain in southwestern Gaul. The Visigoths made Toulouse their capital, and they established themselves as protectors of those who were there when they arrived. In accord with Roman tradition, as protectors the Visigoths had the right to possess from one-third to two-thirds of the land or the produce from those lands. Local people who owned large tracts of land lost much of it to the Visigoths, while most who came under Visigoth rule had little land to lose. The Visigoths were awed by Roman civilization. They adopted local methods of agriculture and the Arian branch of Christianity. They began to learn Latin, and they administered their territory as the Romans had, using local Roman bureaucrats. Those who had been there before the Visigoths (the Gallo-Romans) began adopting Germanic ways. They wanted to belong. Some of them began wearing Visigoth trousers instead of the Roman toga. Some wore the jewelry worn by Visigoths, and they imitated the rougher manners of the Visigoths.

    Extractions: When Augustus was just four years old, his father suddenly died; without a male mentor, the boy's future looked bleak. But in 49 BC, when he was thirteen, Augustus' fortunes took a dramatic turn for the better when his great uncle, Julius Caesar, gained the upper hand on the battlefield. Caesar openly defied the Senate as well as his former political ally, the formidable military leader Pompey. Together, Caesar, Pompey and Crassus had formed the First Triumvirate, a political union that dealt a deathblow to Rome's Republican system of government. Pompey's and Caesar's armies would duel for control of the Roman Empire. As Caesar led his army across the Rubicon River toward Rome, Pompey fled to Greece to prepare for war. Caesar declared himself master of Rome, and ruler of an empire still aspiring to greatness. Julius Caesar Ronald Mellor : At the time of Julius Caesar, the Roman Empire was a little bit like a boy who's reached six feet tall and yet he's only fourteen or fifteen years old. He's not yet a man. The externals of empire were there. The armies were there. The Romans governed most of the coast of the Mediterranean with the exception of Egypt. However, they had not yet learned to bring that into a functioning organism.

    Extractions: President of the Faculty, Union Theological Seminary The Roman Empire grew over a long period of time from basically a political unit in Italy to the entire Mediterranean basin, but it took a lot of time.... It really grew out of a number of different dynamics, certainly through invasion, through conquest, but also through invitation and one could be say bequest; certainly the eastern part of what became the empire actively solicited Rome's presence and were looking for, a firm, stable political authority and found, in Rome, that authority.... The spearhead, one could say, of Roman expansion I think most certainly was as much economically based as it was militarily based. We have a lot of evidence that tells us about Roman venture capitalists out there on the fringes of Roman economic spheres, beginning to build their small economic empires, and in some cases rather larger economic empires, that brought with [them] Roman rule. In fact, in some eastern Mediterranean cities Roman business men formed actual social units, political units within the Greek cities. These then became the networks by which political power then followed. So from economic and military activity spreading out from Italy, the empire spread through North Africa, through the West all the way through Great Britain, to the East all the way to eastern Syria, and that embraced all of Greece, all of Turkey, the Syral Palestinian area. The complete Mediterranean basin was effectively Roman.

    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

(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
