The Roman Republic was a democracy, however, the subject can be tentative because of the limitations that were set on the people.

In this way, the people chose who they wanted in power, not the person with the right last name or the person with the most money.…

A Fine Dinner at Trimalchio’s The Roman lifestyle is one where a Roman could either live luxuriously or enslaved. Although, there were many exceptions of slaves who were able to buy their freedom and live the life as a freedman, it did not mean that they could fully be a part of Roman society. Certain restrictions were placed on freedmen such that they could not hold pubic office or state priesthoods, nor could they achieve legitimate senatorial rank.…

Well, the Roman social system was structured in such a way that the privileged were bound to the unprivileged and also supplied them with strong leadership. It was this tradeoff that secured that the power of Rome could be invoked upon the rest of Europe. The privileged were called Patricians; they were mainly dominant in Rome. They were extremely rich aristocrats, who controlled much of the trade going in and out of the capital as well as how things went in the Senate. The underprivileged were called Plebeians, they were originally just the laborers etc.…
Destiny Feggins HIS-111 Quality of Life in Ancient Rome Within these two articles, “Pleasures and Excess in the Roman Empire” by Paul Veyne and “Slums, Sanitation, and Mortality in the Roman World” by Alexis Scobie, we learn about the history of how the Roman society worked as well as gain insight through the theories created in what could have possibly been going on in the everyday life of Roman citizens.

Two aspects of the Roman politics and culture change noticeably; the rise of Christianity, and the division of the empire which ended with an Eastern and a Western Roman Empire. Christianity altered the Roman lifestyle, while the decentralization of the Empire left Western Europe without a strong political system until the formation of the Holy Roman Empire. Although these changes marked the beginning of the Byzantine Empire, an important continuity shaped the Byzantine political attitude; the conservation of the Greco-Roman laws and ideas. When the Roman Empire split during the 3rd century, it was having both internal and external conflicts, unable to control its vast lands. The majority of the internal conflicts were caused by the shifting in religious practices and beliefs amongst the citizens, of which Christianity was a part of.…
In The Dinner of Trimalchio as part of Gaius Petronius Arbiter’s Satyricon, the now wealthy freedman Trimalchio has invited the hero Encolpius for a meal in his home, complete with a seemingly endless parade of food, wine and insanity. While the story may appear to be nothing but a farcical rendition of an unconventional dinner, greater meaning emerges from the story when viewed as a mixing of three distinct, but intertwined cultures, that of the slave, freed slave and freeborn roman. From this angle, much can be elucidated on the lives of roman slaves, the relatively understated freedman culture, and the fluidity with which each interacted within the roman hierarchy. While Trimalchio is likely an unreliable witness when providing evidence…

The Roman government was more lenient to its population 45,000,000 people. The Roman government had a system set up for those who were foreigners and wanted to become citizens. The Romans may have been lenient, but they had limits for citizens too.…
In the United States, the topic of national citizenship and immigration is a hypersensitive subject for many individuals, with a multitude of extremely polarized opinions on the topic. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States strives to have an outright and distinguished definition of national citizenship, which was subsequently accomplished through the Citizenship Clause. The Citizenship Clause conveys that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ("The Constitution of the United States," Amendment Fourteen, Citizenship Clause). Though this is the general law by which citizenship is determined,…
