    This essay will discuss the question of whether equestrians were more important than senators in the running of the empire. Here, I have interpreted importance to mean the degree to which they were integral to Roman imperial administration. That being said, I shall evaluate the role of both the Senate and individual equestrians under the Julio-Claudian emperors. I will investigate Augustus’ granting of rights to equestrians that permitted them to enter Egypt and Arminius being an equestrian in his youth, Tiberius’ attitude and role in treason trails and the role of Sejanus, Gaius’ relationship with the Senate, Claudius’ actions towards the Senate and his promotion of equestrians, and finally Nero’s relationship with the Senate and the role…

    During the Medieval period learning how to sing chants, although still not entirely correct, was such a time consuming and arduous process until the medieval music scholar and teacher Guido introduced new methods. Guido’s teaching of solmization and Guidonian hand had a major impact on the way music was practiced and learned, to the point where it contributed significantly to the notation system and methods we use today. Therefore, I will discuss, in detail, the approaches that Guido came up with to resolve the issues of that time period. Guido, a medieval music scholar and teacher, was given the task to instruct a large body of Gregorian chants to the young students that were learning to be monks at the cathedral.

    The process of political, economic, and social modernization in Scandinavia and the Baltic states from the early 19th century to 1939 has both similarities and differences; similarities in the sense that moves toward modernization were taken, and differences in the sense that the processes themselves as well as the outcomes of each vary. In the beginning of the 19th century, Scandinavia’s political sphere was control largely by monarchies. At the beginning of this century, Sweden and Denmark were the “great” governing powers; the Swedish King had governing power over both Sweden and Norway, and Denmark ruled itself with a strong monarch. As the 19th century progressed, Sweden’s overarching power began to lessen and the government underwent constitutional reforms; the Norwegians protested Swedish rule and demanded their own government; liberal reforms in Denmark resulted in local…
