The first centuries of the Roman Empire were a time of unparalleled prosperity and stability. The Empire was also called Roman Peace (Pax Ronama) due to its successful existence. Between (98–117AD) when Trajan was in charge the Empire attained its biggest expanse. When the Empire was in its third century, it underwent a life threatening existence. It was later stabilized and reunited by Diocletian and Aurelian who by then were emperors. In its fourth term in existence, Christians were rising to power and it was during this time when the dual rule system started developing in the Greek East and ...

Introduction

The legacy of the Roman empire means the combination of cultural attributes, religion, and believes as well as the technological advancements that came as a result of the ancient mighty Roman empire that have been passed to the present civilizations in western Europe and across the world1. In my view, the most obvious influence of the Roman Empire that is visible today is the language Latin. Even though Latin is an extinct language, its influences in the contemporary are enormous. Latin language did not only influence culture but also science in the present world. Even as the Roman Empire collapsed, ...

- It has been suggested that agriculture has been one of mankind’s most important inventions, second only to our learning to use fire. Do you agree or disagree? What other human inventions are of this magnitude? What would have happened to our species if we had not invented agriculture? Was the invention of agriculture inevitable?
The agricultural revolution in the Neolithic Period was one of the most important changes in human history, except perhaps for the Industrial Revolution that began in the 18th Century. In the present-day world, the computer, information, genetic and cybernetic revolutions should also ...

Accountability and rehabilitation. These are the core objectives of the juvenile probation system today. In early America, children who committed crimes were either simply placed back into the community where they would recommit or they were placed in jails with adults. Since children are mentally, emotionally and developmentally different than adults, there was a significant need for change for these children. Today, juvenile probation is the most common disposition for children adjudicated in the juvenile justice system as delinquent. The “workhorse of the juvenile justice system” is a term that has been given to the juvenile probation system in ...

Ancient Greece and Rome were very familiar with the concepts of mass entertainment in the form of theaters, games and races, although these were quite different civilizations from the modern world in many ways, such as the absence of television, radio, computers and other forms of electronic mass communications. There was no concept of a 24-hour news cycle or a wide variety of information and entertainment programs offered by cable and satellite television and the Internet. Most people lived at or below the subsistence level, and no middle class or system of mass production, consumption and distribution existed. Almost always the ...

The Pax Romana is distinguished in history as a roughly 200-year period of progress and growth separating the civil strife of the 1st century B.C. and the onset of marked decline that began with the third century A.D. Roman military power had pacified subject populations from the Euphrates River in the east to the uplands of northern Britain in the far west, while Roman law established a cohesive civilizing influence throughout the empire. The absence of strife in all parts of the empire made it possible to travel safely virtually anywhere in the known world and a highly competent and relatively benign ...

Infidelity and Scandal in “The Storm” and Other 19th Century Writing

Many authors and artists in the nineteenth century tackled a great number of pressing issues in their time, particularly relating closely to the nature of adultery and infidelity. In the world of art, Augustus Leopold Egg’s famous triptych Past and Present demonstrated a husband’s discovery of his wife’s infidelity, and the consequences that ensued, creating a subtle breakdown of the traditional family unit that was thought to be impenetrable in the 19th century. Prominent writers like Leo Tolstoy and Kate Chopin also tackled this issue as well – Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina explores the inherent acceptance of male infidelity and ...

INTRODUCTION

When the average person thinks of ancient Rome the first thoughts that often come to mind are the immense columns and marble architecture synonymous with the era, they imagine the power and wealth of one of the most successful Empires of its time or they see it is as the modern epicenter of, the Christian religious denomination, Catholicism for the bulk of the world. However, the history of Rome is not just a story of arts, architecture, wealth, decadence or religious locale; it is also a story of immense wars, dictatorships, religious intolerance, mass conquests, a number of bloody wars, shifting religious ...

The New Testament highlights the story of King Herod through the gospel of Matthew (Bromiley 1998, Vol. 2). In one remarkable event known as the Massacre of the Innocents, King Herod was placed in biblical history as the murderers of children.
