    Extractions: The study of Roman imperial historywhich in practical terms began from the 60s BCEpresents the modern reader with certain paradigmatic issues relevant to governments and societies today. In broadest terms, the persistent dilemma was how to modify government structures and ethos as state and society expanded geographically and demographically. The republican ideal of Rome had somewhat made sense in a time when the state was little more than the preeminent city in a Mediterranean peninsular area, and needed to ensure its own survival and domination of surrounding locales. By the middle of the final century BCE, however, Rome had become the center of a multi-continent empire stretching from Spain to Iraq. Thus, one can present the continuing civil unrest from 80 to 30 BCE as the inability of an expanded city government to cope with the needs of an empire's administration. Caesar , again as a Dictatornow perpetual enacted reforms in the court system and in the administration of the provinces, as well as in the settlement of military veterans and in the increased granting of Roman and Latin citizenship to regions near the capital. Still and all, though, the inauguration of the Principate under

Before you plunge into a consideration of Diocletian's reign, you might be interested to know that much of the great palace he built for himself in ex-Yugoslavia is still sufficiently intact to provide one with a good idea of how the rulers of the Roman empire lived. You might want to visit it and look around. Political a. He divided the empire into two independent parts, leaving an impoverished and vulnerable western empire. Note that the Western empire had by far the longer frontier to defend, and a much smaller tax base with which to pay for its defense. b. Established the Augustus-Caesar policy of succession. Under this system, there were two emperors ( Augusti ), each of whom appointed a Caesar to defend the frontiers. When an emperor died, his Caesar was supposed to succeed him, take over his administration, and appoint a Caesar to defend the frontiers and eventually succeed to the emperorship. This was an attempt to create a stable form of succession which had been the weakness of the original empire but it failed. c. Made the provinces smaller and appointed both a civil and military governor over each. This generally increased government interference at local level and took affairs out of the hands of the middle classes of the provinces. Once they no longer had an important role in the governing of the empire, the imperial administration was able to tax the urban middle classes to the point of destroying them, at least in the western empire.

    Extractions: Rome at its Height Dictionary and Thesaurus The Mediterranean in 200 AD In many ways, the Roman empire remains the ideal upon which Western civilization has shaped itself. One need only look at the Capitol in Washington to see how extensively the founders of the United States followed the Roman model in fashioning a new nation. Because so many Roman principles are embodied in modern institutions, people feel that it is important to know why the Roman empire fell. question The answer might, after all, reveal a flaw or weakness in the Roman tradition that was passed on to modern Western civilization and which could eventually lead to the end of the centuries in which Western civilization has been able to expand and to dominate the globe. Much our of high standard of living has been a result of our ability to take what we wanted from the rest of the world, and the loss of that ability would mean that our lives would become significantly less comfortable and luxurious. And so people are always interested in attempts to answer the question "Why did the Roman empire fall?" Every now and then, one sees a magazine or tabloid reporting the latest theory - all the Romans caught malaria and were sick most of the time; they were poisoned by the lead in the glaze of their cooking pots and went crazy; they started having orgies all the time and their moral fiber was weakened by their preoccupation with sex; their conversion to Christianity focused their attention on the next world rather than the present one; and so on. This question may or may not have an answer, but first we have to understand the nature of the Roman empire. You see, it was not so much a question of why it fell but what had kept it standing for so long. I'll state a proposition that will give you something to think about as you cover the next few lectures.

    Extractions: The Growth of the Roman Empire Brent A. Canter See my poster. The Roman Empire was ahead of its time. Its ideas, inventions and culture were then unheard of. The Romans had a special something that no one else seemed to have. They always had the extra edge that led them to triumph and to victory. In Rome almost everyone had the same idea of how things should be. Their main goal for the Roman Empire was to expand their territory while sustaining happiness and letting everyone contribute what they could. They believed the government should do everything in its power for the people. They also believed that soldiers should not feel obligated to join the military, but they should want to fight for Rome. And finally they believed they should not destroy any culture while conquering different lands. They should incorporate the beliefs of the culture and use them as their own. The Roman government was an organized way of dealing with the people. It consisted of two consuls, a senate, and two assemblies. The Romans would choose the two consuls to serve for one year. The consuls ran the Roman government and either of the consuls could veto the other. The rule of the consuls was called imperium. The senate was an advisory group. The senate was mostly made up of all the patricians (the elders of the community). The names of the assemblies were "Corritia Curiata" and "Corritia Centuriata". The "Curiata" had a tribal foundation and the "Centuriata" had a military foundation.

    Extractions: Will the revived Roman Empire become a military superpower? I don't see a requirement in Scripture for the European confederation that will form the Antichrist's kingdom to achieve super military status. According to Daniel's vision of the five empires, the kingdom of the Antichrist will be of the weakest quality. "And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken." (Dan. 2:41-42). It also says in the Book of Daniel that peace will be the Antichrist's greatest weapon. "And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand" (Dan. 8:25). The revived Roman Empire will have one advantage over all the other kingdoms: It will be in control of weapons of mass destruction. King Nebuchadnezzar was history's most powerful ruler in that his word was law. His orders were carried out by men with swords and spears. The Antichrist may at first have to deal with a legislature, but once he makes a decision, he will have the power to destroy nations.

    Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Flavius Valerius Constantinus Constantine I or Constantine the Great May 22 ), was proclaimed Augustus by his troops on July 25 ; and ruled an ever-growing portion of the Roman Empire to his death. He was born at Naissus in Upper Dacia to Constantius I Chlorus and an innkeeper's daughter, Helena . Constantine was well educated and served at the court of Diocletian after the appointment of his father as one of the two Caesari , at that time a junior emperor, in the Tetrarchy in . On the death of his father Constantius in 306, he managed to be at his deathbed in Eburacum ( York ), where troops loyal to his father's memory proclaimed him Emperor. For the next 18 years he fought a series of battles and wars that left him as supreme ruler of the Roman Empire. Constantine is perhaps best known for being the first Roman Emperor to endorse Christianity , as a result of his victory in the Battle of Milvian Bridge , which he credited to the Christian God. His adoption of Christianity may also be due to family influence: Helena was probably born a Christian, and demonstrated extreme piety in her later life. He legalized and strongly supported Christianity beginning around the time he became emperor, with the

    Extractions: Social standing in the Roman Empire was based in part on heredity, property and wealth, Roman citizenship, and freedom. The specific class designations included Senators, Patricians, Equestrians, Plebeians, Slaves, Freedmen, and non-Roman citizens - all of which were ruled by the Emperor. The boundaries between these classes were legally enforced, although it was possible to move up the social ladder as one's financial circumstances improved. During the Empire, entry into the higher classes could be gained upon acquisition of property and wealth, or at the pleasure of the Emperor - in one famous incident, Caligula even raised a horse to Senatorial rank. The name "Patrician" comes from the Latin word patres, or "fathers," and the Patricians were a privileged group of families that dominated the political, religious, and military leadership of the Empire. The majority were wealthy landowners from old Roman families, although the Emperor could raise anyone he chose to Patrician status.

A few years later, Flavius left her to marry into Maximian's family, and later became co-Emperor Constantius I, in 305. Through this turn of events, Constantine became Caesar in 306. He was raised to Augustus in 307, and had a long and successful reign that made it possible for his three sons to follow in his footsteps. He was the first Emperor to embrace Christianity, after a long period of persecution suffered by its believers. His mother, Helena, who may have been a sinner, was, long after her death in 328, made a Saint by the Roman church.
