The Great Fire of Rome was a devastating urban blaze that began on the 19th of July in 64AD, consuming over half the city and was not contained until six days later. The controversy surrounding this infamous event stems from historical claims that the fire was initiated at the command of Emperor Nero, who “fiddled” while his great city burned.

caused by a flaw. For Brutus, this is his nativity. He often does not question anything around him and because of this, he lacks judgement. A good example of this is when Brutus compels himself to kill Caesar after reading letters from Cassius as a Roman citizen.

The Roman Military The Roman Empire was arguably one of the most technologically advanced powers of all time. The feats they accomplished with the technology they had was mind blowing, and today we are still trying to figure out how they accomplished everything.

idea of severe oppression is conducted. That is why the Athenians may have created a democracy. It is to be noted that the Athenians did have slaves, but they were not treated like the Helots. The Romans like the Spartans had a focus on the military. According to the book of humanistic tradition, the Romans after overthrowing the Etruscans kings began to extend their…

Latin Plain of Central Italy, Rome, a single city-state grew into an empire that ruled the entire Mediterranean coastal region. The Roman rule can be divided into two periods: the Roman Republic spanning 507 BCE to 31 BCE and the Roman Empire, spanning 31 BCE to 476 CE. The Roman Republic consisted of two main movements. First, the Constitution of the Roman Republic consisted of principles passed down through precedents…

history dating as far back as the militaristic Roman Empire, the influence of its rich culture can be found throughout Europe. Some examples of this influence include popular Italian cuisine and the strong presence of the Roman Catholic Churches spread throughout its countryside.
