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

Extractions: Marsh Wise "All roads lead to Rome" Rome's tenacity towards any adversity created a world that lasted over a thousand years. Roman culture evolved through that time, from a small collection of villages on seven hills and the earliest kings, to the Republic, to the Empire, and this great culture is still with us. The Roman culture and military which created and held this all together is a fascinating study of organization, arts, economics, discipline, technology and thinking. Roman reenacting is very popular in Europe and now in the United States, with new groups appearing regularly. Reenactment now encompasses military (infantry and cavalry), civilians, gladiators as well as Rome's enemies, and ranges from strictly historical to mock warfare. Moreover, it is now possible to assemble an accurate soldier's or civilian's impression from existing suppliers. We need your help to keep the lights on!

O n Wednesday, August 27, an important German public TV station, the ZDF, aired a two-part show titled "Almightiness America-The World mastered by the USA." Following are excerpts from the first segment of the show, translated from German: "The US military has divided the globe into a power grid, leaving no part of our planet without a military base. the Pacific Command, stationed in Hawaii, controls 52% of the earth's surface-43 countries, 60% of the total world population. From Hawaii the Army, the Navy and the Air Force are coordinated from the South Pacific to the North pole. US troops practice in the jungle of Thailand asymmetrical warfare against Terrorists. At 38 degrees of latitude in Korea, the last watches of the Cold War are stationed; at present under the acute harassment of North Korean nuclear weapons. In both cases questions of multilateral and unilateral power are interpreted different, at least different from Europe." "In Thailand the reporters have met a young lance-corporal of the leathernecks in Texas. They looked for and found his family in the sticks of Western Texas, the homeland of George Bush. Here Bush still has a majority of support, which he couldn't find in the Metropolis of the East and West Coast. People in Texas support Bush's hard, often one-way direction, with hardly any qualms up to now."

Quiz When I wrote my recent book, The Twilight of American Culture, my focus was on what might be called "inner" barbarism, the structural factors endemic to American society that were, I believed, bringing about its disintegration. The contemporary American situation could be compared to that of Rome in the Late Empire period, and the factors involved in the process of decline in each case are pretty much the same: a steadily widening gap between rich and poor; declining marginal returns with regard to investment in organisational solutions to socioeconomic problems (in the US, dwindling funds for social security and medicare); rapidly dropping levels of literacy, critical understanding, and general intellectual awareness; and what might be called "spiritual death": apathy, cynicism, political corruption, loss of public spirit, and the repackaging of cultural content (eg "democracy") as slogans and formulas.

The army in detail Descriptions, reconstructions and plans of the different types of sites The history of the province Search ... Home The army that invaded Britain in 43 AD at the command of the Emperor Claudius differed in structure from the one that gradually slipped under local control as the province became independent in the fifth century. Changes in the army and the circumstances it found itself in are also reflected in the types of sites the army used and the structures it built. Timber and earth forts some intended for one winter's or summer's use during the first century became more permanent structures built or rebuilt in stone. During the second and third centuries they were given towers to provide flanking fire along the walls as the army began to contemplate its bases coming under siege. And by the fourth century the classic playing card ground plan of forts was becoming replaced by irregular shapes that took advantage of defensive locations and begin to suggest medieval castle plans. Armies in the Ancient World had a range of functions. Fighting wars was only one and for many soldiers it would have been a rare experience. The Roman army in Britain acted as a police force, combating minor civil disorders or quelling cattle raids; was a tax enforcer; and provided skilled administrators and engineers to the provincial governor. The frontier systems should not be thought of as modern frontiers. They were not the equivalent of Iron Curtains between Empire and the barbarians, but zones that the army patrolled in and in front off to ensure that allied tribes lived in peace and that lawlessness did not encroach on the province. That lawlessness might be the modern equivalent of a single criminal or rarely an alliance of unfriendly tribes.

http://hnn.us/articles/1685.html

Extractions: Mr. Johnson's new book, forthcoming at the end of 2003 from Metropolitan Books, is The Sorrows of Empire: Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic. The collapse of the Roman republic in 27 BC has significance today for the United States, which took many of its key political principles from its ancient predecessor. Separation of powers, checks and balances, government in accordance with constitutional law, a toleration of slavery, fixed terms in office, all these ideas were influenced by Roman precedents. John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams often read the great Roman political philosopher Cicero and spoke of him as an inspiration to them. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, authors of the Federalist Papers , writing in favor of ratification of the Constitution signed their articles with the name Publius Valerius Publicola, the first consul of the Roman republic. The Roman republic, however, failed to adjust to the unintended consequences of its imperialism, leading to a drastic alteration in its form of government. The militarism that inescapably accompanied Rome's imperial projects slowly undermined its constitution as well as the very considerable political and human rights its citizens enjoyed. The American republic, of course, has not yet collapsed; it is just under considerable strain as the imperial presidency and its supporting military legions undermine Congress and the courts. However, the Roman outcome turning over power to an autocracy backed by military force and welcomed by ordinary citizens because it seemed to bring stability suggests what might happen in the years after Bush and his neoconservatives are thrown out of office.

The comparison between Rome and America is an intriguing one. For instance, I recently heard some people talk about going the way of Rome when they were worrying about the terrible consequences of âmilitary expansionism.â Others said we were doing âjust like Romeâ by giving up âour traditional family values.â Oftentimes, the Roman Empire comparison is just a simple way to emphasize the speaker's negative feelings about a particular American condition or course of action. But the comparison between Rome and America is an intriguing one. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill history professor Lloyd Kramer has been thinking about some of the parallels and discussed them at a church school class on a recent Sunday morning. Here are some of the similarities between Rome and America.
