Roman calendar

With the multiple victories won by the Romans, there came great changes. Most of these new changes were of good nature: Rome became a republic, they kept their powerful army status along with a newfound title of best naval fleet, and became an intimidating force to be reckoned with. However, with great power comes great resp-oh wait, wrong direction. With all this great power, there came quite a bit of negative results for Rome and its people. One of these negative outcomes was what I like…

The Title How is it a Tragedy about Caesar? He died right away. So what about him. He really wasn’t even a big part of the play. It could have been titled The Menacing of Cassius, or The Indecisive Brutus, or The Two-Faced Mark Antony but it’s titled The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. But again he died right away. But on the other hand without his death, Mark Antony wouldn’t have made his vows and the civil war wouldn’t have taken place. So it’s a toss up. First, the play is titled The Tragedy of…

Learning can be interpreted in many ways to different individuals, although to me learning is about gaining knowledge and embracing every experience encountered and linking it to any task. Also I would explain that being open minded is a strong attribute to apply during the learning process. During my week one I stated that learning is to open and broaden an individual’s mind on subjects to gain knowledge or skills, and I’ve grown to realize its more than that. People can learn using different…

To be a tragic hero you must be someone who people love and you must cause you’re own decadence. Brutus was easily looked at as a hero. “This was the noblest Roman of them all” (Act 5.5 201) Even after he killed Caesar, Antony, Caesars best friend, said Brutus was still noble. Not even killing somebody can make people hate Brutus since he was loved by many. This was also because he was only of the only that only…

Ligarius adamantly trusts Brutus to execute the plan, having a deep devotion to Brutus’ leadership. Ligarius is not acknowledging the plausible consequences of the intrigue; because the commoners have not opposed Caesar before, there is no evidence the Romans will rejoice at the sight of the conspirators murdering their beloved leader. In fact, the townspeople eventually call the conspirators “traitors” for the homicide of their leader (3.2.13). Unfortunately this murder leads to turmoil, as the…

“Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness”, according to the Declaration of Resolutions and Sentiments. Analysis of Julius Caesar, Greece’s new prime minister, and Abraham Lincoln will show if a…

20th century, is a portrayal of one of the ruler of Bangwa chiefdoms . In contrast, The Marble Statue of a Youthful Hercules, a Roman marble sculpture from A.D. 69 to 98, Flavian dynasty, depicts the Greek Mythology hero: Hercules . While the idealized man form is the subject of two sculptures, both sculptures contain concepts of the power and strength. However, the Roman sculpture reflects…

Christian religion to the western civilizations. Every aspect of civilization was impacted by this socially, economically and politically. Christianity was first introduced by Constantine in the Roman Empire in the late third century. Constantine issued the famous Edict of Milan, which made it official that the Romans would tolerate Christianity. By the beginning of fourth century it had become the state religion. Under the ruler Theodosius Christianity was made officially the religion of…

ever showed monuments of an average woman. As far as the Romans go, nearly all early sources relating to Roman women and their place in society were written by men about women. Generally, Roman girls were usually married by the time they were twelve years old, and sometimes even younger. The Greek physician and writer, known as Hippocrates, 460-370 B.C., laid the foundation for medical ideas about women for centuries onward, from the Romans to the Victorians Era. One of his writings called, On…

The Roman Provinces’ Relationship to the Roman Economy Background N.S. Gill writes that Rome’s provincial system came into play, following their expansion beyond, as she puts it, “the Italian boot” (para. 1), and referring first to the islands of Sicily in 241 BCE, followed by Sardinia and Corsica in 238 BCE. At the end of the second Punic war (205 BCE), Rome’s next major portfolio “acquisition” was Spain. In all, Gill lists thirty-two Roman colonies. I was curious why she listed a date range…
