Analysis of inscription (RIB 1713) Vindolanda Inscription (RIB 1713) relates to a sandstone funerary headstone used as a building-stone found amongst debris associated with the east gate of Vindolanda fort in 1818 commemorating the life of Cornelius Victor (RIB 1713, Funerary inscription for Cornelius Victor, 2014). There is a degree of ambiguity in relation to his military position as a senior centurion. Victor is listed on the inscription as a singularis consularis ‘governor 's bodyguard’ either mounted (eques) or infantry (pedes), seconded from an auxiliary unit; he also served as a courier and special emissary (Glossary of military terms, 2014). If indeed he was a special emissary it supports the argument of a senior centurions’ position.…
The fall of one of the largest empires in the world was tragic to the people who lived there. Rome was so powerful and great, no one thought that they would ever lead into a great decline, that would end the empire. Rome was feared and strong, how could Rome fall so quickly without warning? This happened because the empire grew too quickly, their army became weak, and they never had a stable government. When Rome was at its highest peak in population and size, the borders became too hard to maintain.…
Fortunately, I believe the United States will not fall soon like Rome did. The United States exhibits different manifestations than Rome did.

I will provide evidence to show this to you in the paragraphs below.…

Imagine, you are safe in a controlled city, you are healthy and enjoying a nice bath, or eating a feast in the dining hall. This is what it was like for most Romans from about 50 BCE until the year of 200 CE. At this time, Rome was the superpower of the Mediterranean World and Rome’s territory, wealth and popularity were well known (Background Essay). Although Rome was prospering, it was slowly starting to fall apart due to poor leadership, a weak military and invasion of outsiders. Poor leadership was a big contributing factor to the fall of the Roman Empire.…

My senator’s military role is a legitimate example of the cursus honorum that functioned in Roman society in that before a patrician man could hold a magisterial office, id est, becoming a member of the senatorial class, he had to serve in a military capacity for the state (Lendering 2002). During this period of service, my senator would have had to have served under a more senior commander, and Tiberius would have served in this capacity. Upon return from the mandatory military service, a member of the senatorial class would serve in various magisterial roles, as a quaestor around the age of 30, as an aedile at 37, a praetor at 40, and then as a consul at the age of at least 43 (Lendering 2002). The consular position itself, while seen as the pinnacle of a Roman senator’s career, was coloured by whether it was during the first or latter half of the year, and this is presented in this way to emphasise the prestige associated with the position. The final part of my response includes reference and quotations to the mannerisms of Tiberius in his ways of speaking and deliberation.…
How did they rank up in the Roman army was it by their loyalty or by how many kills they got in each battle. The people chose who will be in the Roman army. They do this so they know who is protecting them from danger. I think they did this so they felt protected. Cause if they don 't feel protected then they need to get different people in the Roman army.…
Well organized society by Politics had many impacts on a military. To illustrate, Roman divided their society into three parts which were Senate, people, and Consuls. The Senate were the once who had authority to control the economy of the state; it means that they look over the money of the state. People were workers, employs and low cast people. Finally, Consuls were the people who had the most power in the society, and they had the power to control all the state.…

The jobs that the military created provided an economic boost as well since “the boundaries between citizen and soldier were neither firm nor long-lasting, and large numbers of adult males performed both roles.... citizens eligible for military service came to Rome for the levy, or dilectus, in which some were chosen to be soldiers in the consuls’ armies in the upcoming season...after a season’s campaigning, soldiers were discharged, returning to their places in civil life” (Boatwright 76). Finally, the republic grew stronger as a whole by extending Latin…
The women’s roles in Roman culture helped shape their family life, business, politics, and religious rituals. They had great influence on their family even though they were still considered inferior to men. Once they were married they would have children. Then, once the baby is born, the mother has property right on that child. The woman would also then be responsible for raising the child, also make sure the infant is well raised as well a good citizens of Rome.…
However government was nothing without the power of the military. Gaius Marius was elected consul for 107 BC and was voted to go into Numidia.5Marius noticed that there was a shortage of men in the armies so he decided to do the unthinkable. He forced the proletarii, the lower class of the urban poor who owned nothing, to join the armies.5This became common as the second century enters. This caused smallholdings to fall into disuse and deprived peasant farmers to tend their farms.5Only the wealthy benefitted from these actions.…
Clientage was a moral agreement, unlike Rome and Persia whose slaves were basically property. War and army were vital to the success of Rome, men were prompted to join in return for land, or other riches (Kagan, Ozment ,Turner, Frank, 2011. The Roman army was different from the Persia in the ways technique, skill and organization. Rome’s army, like Greece’s was well organized and…
Christianity’s control grew greatly and rapidly and this minimized the power of the empire. The church leader’s power increased while the Roman Empire’s power decreased. “Over time, Church leaders became influential and took away power from the emperor.” (Google.com) Some of the Christian’s beliefs and ways of life conflicted with the laws of the empire and the people chose Christian laws over the Empire’s laws. This contributed to the decline of the Roman Empire.…
