Roman citizenship

Citizenship was the status given by the Roman and Athens government to many of its people, but not to all. In my opinion, there is evidence that the Roman system was superior and more effective than it because it was less restrictive to become a citizen, there was no ostracism, and its citizens functioned willfully out of their rights to do so as full citizens of the empire of Rome. In Rome many more could become citizens than in Athens. It was less restrictive. According to document A, Rome…

Throughout Rome’s long history, a theme of territorial expansion can be seen. They wanted to become the greatest and most dominate power in the world. In the early stages of the Roman Empire, Rome was a small city-state that fought for territory and control over the Italian peninsula with several other city-states and tribes. Rome had many enemies that it eventually overcame and conquered. One of Rome’s major enemies was the Etruscans who lived to the north of Latium, the region in which Rome…

This is because Rome gave citizenship to a variety of people. Unlike Athens, Rome gave citizenship to females . This example shows why Rome is better they supplied citizenship to native born females while Athens did not give citizenship to native born females (Doc A).

Which shows why they are better by allowing more people to become Roman citizens. Rome had a…

THE ROMAN EMPIRE AND ITS HEIRS KEY X.T. MORROW UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA Rome, one of the most fruitful and prosperous empires in history, did not become such a great power for such a great amount of time by mere accident. It is seemingly astounding that an empire that lasted for so long had so many changes in power and structure, which further provides evidence that Rome was such a great empire to emulate, because despite all the violence and disagreement over power, the empire…

The best case of a perfect despot was a Roman citizen called Cincinnatus. Amid an extreme military crisis, the Roman Senate called Cincinnatus from his farm to fill in as leader and to lead the Roman armed force. At the point when Cincinnatus ventured down from the dictatorship and came back to his farm just 15 days after he effectively vanquished Rome's foes, the republican leaders continued to control Rome. Concerning the law and citizenship, the Romans adopted an interesting strategy to the…

the day in Rome was citizenship for the Italian allies. While the Romans had previously been fairly liberal in granting different allies full citizenship, lately they had been satisfied to grant only second class, or Latin, citizenship. Unfortunately, the Italian allies were not nearly as satisfied with this and were agitating for full rights. We have already seen how this issue cost Gaius Gracchus his life. When another Roman, Marcus Livius Drusus, proposed full citizenship and was assassinated…

Roman citizens had certain rights that non Romans didn’t have such as being beaten as punishment for disturbing the peace. The Apostle Paul was being annoying to the Romans by preaching Christianity and giving them hope of freedom from oppression. But because he was a Roman citizen, it was not lawful for him to be beaten, though I think he was beaten anyway. Our modern culture has adapted from the Romans use of the census to calculate population, citizenship, and use of resources. The…

Greco-Roman City: Team Project Corinth, a city that has a history of two rich cultures that had great influence on the history of the world.

Corinth made the decision to join several of the Greek states to fight against Rome, and the Roman army defeated them and burned Corinth to the ground. All the valuables…
