Controversy would be an understatement when describing early Christianity in the Roman society. Knowledge vs religion is the argument centered around this controversy. You have the Christians being hesitant toward the Greco-Roman world of pursuing knowledge. Then on the other side, Roman societies lack of acceptance toward Christians.

It is often believed that the Romans did not achieve empire until there were emperors in place in the government. This theory is far from true.

However, the Romans achieve empire far before any emperors took rule in society. The rise of the Roman Empire transpired not due to an offensive move, but rather a defensive strategy.…

hear and see the characters. Ammiano just shows one side of reality, though: the worst. But averything has a counterpart and the noble characters and actions are suppressed. This choice reflects the defensive and desperate situation of the last Roman Empire century. The same horror, but passionately, is shown in San Jerónimo’s Procession.

In The Ragged Road to Abolition, Gigantino redefines the concept of slavery in New Jersey by describing how, despite being a northern state, slavery remained and expanded as their economy grew. He proves throughout his writing that slavery was always prevalent and prevailed over time despite abolitionist efforts.

The spoke as if they were a representative of the slave and this was accepted by the slave(s).
