Roman Coin Project His 111_08 By: Christian Benton I believe my coin to be a provincial coin of Constantius II as I have only been able to find closely similar coins but no exact matches to the symbols on the back. If in fact this is a coin of Constantius II the coin would likely date to somewhere between AD 335 and AD 360 and Constantius II was born in August AD 317, and was the son of Constantine the Great and Fausta.[3] Constantius II was pronounced Caesar under his father in AD 324. When…

I love soccer. 3 things that can go wrong while playing goalie is having your back bent backward, standing inside the goal, and not paying attention to the ball and players. Just like you can get blown out in a soccer game, so can an empire. Political assassinations, military problems, and foreign invasions. Of these, the most important reason was foreign invasions. One important reason that Rome fell was political assassinations. Evidence that there was a problem is that there were 23 emperors…

France is today. Right before going to battle, Clovis feared that he was going to be defeated. Clovis then of course cries out to the Christian God asking for help saying, "Most mighty God, whom my queen Clothilde worships and adores with heart and soul, I pledge you perpetual service unto your faith, if only you give me now the victory over my enemies."

Throughout the history of the Roman Empire, government and religion were always closely tied together. Government led the empire while religion unified the people. When Christianity began to grow and spread, Emperor Constantine I legalized it and later, Emperor Theodosius I issued an edict making it the only religion of the Empire. When the pagans, or people who didn’t believe in the Christian God acted out, Theodosius went into action and eradicated the pagan gods and practices. Despite having…

was during the second century, under the rule of the Five Good Emperors. One emperor that outshined the rest of the emperors was Trajan. Trajan rose to excellence due to his massive skills that he acquired throughout his career. Trajan also known as Optimus Princeps, is the best out of the Five Good Emperors due to his relationship that he had with the people and the senate. Trajan can be considered the ideal model of how an emperor should rule because he improved the quality of life for many as…

Constantine (or the more well known name Constantine the Great) ruled the Roman Empire and was able to revolutionize the practice of religion and political norm of the Roman Empire. Without him there would be a big impact on the religion of Christianity and there wouldn’t be the religion you see today (or it would not have been popular). Constantine was the spark of Christianity that was passed on to many rulers post his death. Previously, Judaism was in the hands of the practiced religion in…

Various Christians were slaughtered because of their “treasonous” actions against Roman Empire. These persecutions were often glorified events performed as…
