The Roman Empire spawned from the civil wars occurring during the republic. Ceasar was assassinated and the republic gave way to its new undisputed leader, Octavian. Octavian was given the name Augustus, ‘revered one’, by ...

The Emperor Caesar Augustus was a man with a grand vision for his future and the future of his city, Rome. He was born into a wealthy family, but he was not necessarily born to become Emperor of Rome—this was a position that he grew into, rather than one he inherited ("AVGVSTO The Emperor Returns to Rome”). During the course of his time as ruler, Augustus—sometimes alternatively known in other texts as Avgvsto—began to keep a text that described his time as leader of Rome (Bushnell). He eventually had this text transcribed onto a number of bronze tablets, and it was this ...

The story of Jesus of Nazareth is one that is difficult to tell in written words, let alone in film. To be sure, it is not hallowed ground – the Roman Catholic Church permits these adaptations freely, not like Islamic institutions who are sensitive to adaptations of their own prophet Mohammed. However, there appears a number of constraints and restrictions that are otherwise absent if one makes a conventional film with a conventional character in its narrative center. For one, the director is constrained with telling the story faithfully to Jesus’s biblical sources. The scriptwriter, on the other hand, has the ...

Virgil’s Aeneid is a literary epic and the national story of the Roman Empire. The story is an attempt to link the history of the Roman Empire, and its emperor Augustus Caesar, to the ancient wanderings of the Trojan people to its establishment. By doing so, Virgil hoped to not only create a common national identity of his country’s people, but to link this identity to historical symbols that people would recognize, in an effort to legitimize the Caesar and his empire. By doing so, Virgil creates a story on a grand scale that encompasses not only the history of his ...

A republic is a form of government in which power is clearly and openly given to people as a right or responsibility. The people or citizens in turn use the power to elect the desired leaders or representatives.

Julius Caesar is perhaps one of the most popular and powerful political, military, and economic leader who have ever lived. In this paper, the author is going to give out specific reasons why Julius Caesar can easily be considered as the most influential person in history. It was in 60 B.C. when Julius Caesar won the election as consul for 59 B.C. The results of the election were fairly close because of the strong reputation and apparently incorruptible character that the other two candidates had . However, what made Julius Caesar win the election was his strong background and popularity as a ...

History of Western Civilization

Western civilization describes the development of human civilization beginning in the Middle East and spreading westwards. Its roots may date back to 9000 BCE when humans existing as hunters and gatherers began to settle into agricultural societies. However, the western civilization, in its more strictly defined European spheres, traces its roots back to classical antiquity. The western civilization had spread to northern America, South America and much of Oceania. In western history, there were three seminal periods: the Classical Greece (Hellenic), the pagan roman empire and the ancient Israel. The Greeks believed in democracy and pursuit of intellectual inquiry. ...

Shakespeare in the “Julius Caesar” play was much concerned about how individual lives. He provides an insight of the human’s life by raising the argument about the aptitude free will versus the power of fate in life. The playwright ultimately backs the philosophy in which freedom and fate have delicate coexistence. He uses characters such as Cassius, Caesar and Brutus to bring about the issue of the fate and free will. As Cassius and Brutus were attempting to eliminate Caesar from power, Caesar suggested “men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is ...

The Elizabethan period was a phase of industrial development, scientific improvements, commercial growths and eventually of material affluence. The period was intensely categorized by an unending hunger for knowledge, insatiable yearning for power and a fervent aspiration to disrupt the chains of human restrictions.

Doctor Faustus is the piece by Christopher Marlowe which arranges with the yearning for tremendous mortal knowledge which effects the everlasting punishment of the existence of the hero. ...

The daughter of a King, Andromache was married to Hector of Troy and Achilles slew not only her beloved husband, but her seven brothers shortly after her nuptials.

Obviously each poet, writer, playwright or screenwriter has all viewed Andromache through their own lens. For the purpose of this paper, however, we will focus on Euripides’ perspective in The Trojan Women and Virgil’s view in the ...

The Roman and the U.S. Empire: A Close Comparison

Analysis of Selections from Nagel, What Does It All Mean?

Thomas Nagel’s 1987 book, What’s It All Mean?, offers an introduction to philosophical thought. He directs this book toward a person who has never studied philosophy before. He bases his introduction not in the writings of the great philosophers or great thinkers, but instead he offers nine categories of questions for his reader to think about. As he puts it, “The main concern of philosophy is to question and understand very common ideas that all of us use every day without thinking about them” (Nagel 5). By laying out these problems and his ideas about them, Nagel encourages ...

According to Davis and Moore, it’s a mandatory for any society to be stratified. To explain this, the first step of the argument is from the position of a classless society. Then stratification comes to structuring the society in different dimensions. These include functional and social systems. Therefore, stratification explains the social and functional inequality of the society. It gives focus to the creation and systems, opportunities and positions and explains the reason making particular individuals occupy those positions and not others. Davis and Moore describe the functions that a stratification system performs to a society. The major functions include religion, ...

Historians and dramatists have a history of presenting their subjects differently. In order to ascertain the language used and the way they presented their protagonists, this paper looks at Shakespeare’s representation of Julius Caesar.

The question of whether or not religion and politics need to interact has been remaining debatable arguably since both were invented. Many a time has history known religion interfere into secular political affair, leading to controversial decisions as well as bloody quests of faith and unjustified use of violence that it implied.

However, the question now becomes: ...

According to Laurence Perrine, there are two primary purposes for any literature – to entertain and enlighten. While entertaining is the easier part, Perrine opines that a literature should do more than just entertain, if it is worth scholarly scrutiny. Thus, a fiction can be categorized into escape and interpretive literature. An escape literature is one, which mainly aims at entertaining and intended as a time pass. Whereas, an interpretive literature aims at making the reader delve more intensely into the world around him. While an escape literature aims at taking its reader away from his world for a while, an interpretive literature takes ...

The motives that inspired the political system in the late Roman Republic may be best illustrated through an examination of the writings by Cicero. Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman philosopher, lawyer, orator and politician. However, Cicero considered his political involvement as the greatest achievement despite his notable success in legal practice and oratory. Indeed, it is during this period of consulship that there was a Catilian conspiracy which sought to overthrow the Roman government. As a consequence of this attempt to overthrow the government, Cicero called for the execution of the five conspirators without the conduct of due process. In ...

Literature

A significant part of the Inferno by Dante evidently has a strong emphasis on political commentary particularly on the political scene of the Florence of fourteenth century from which he had created enemies and was exiled. His political views consequently play an important role in the arrangement of the context of his work. This he does through a number of varied assertions. He begins by condemning all his political enemies to suffering and turmoil by scattering them in the different rings of hell. His enemies from Florence constitute the largest number of sinners almost by half. Filipo Argenti for instance is damned ...

Book Review of Pat Southern’s, The Roman Army: A Social and Institutional History

ABSTRACT In The Roman Army: A Social and Institutional History, Pat Southern covers over one thousand years of history in which the Roman military evolved from its original base of citizen-soldiers defending a city-state to a force of perhaps one million troops defending far-flung frontiers in Europe, Africa and Asia.

Southern’s description of the Roman Army is highly detailed and ...

Introduction

Julius Caesar, perhaps the most prominent dictator of the Republic of Rome, is among the most important figures in history.

It is during the reign of Caesar as dictator when Rome expanded its boundaries, incorporating the British Isles and Gaul, now present-day France. Such has become possible through the superior military power of troops that served under Caesar, whose tactical nous has earned him both admirers and critics ( ...

No civilization in history can claim to have had a more powerful, resilient and disciplined army than the Romans; few have had a force so pointedly fashioned as a tool of statecraft and imperial expansion. The ingeniously imitative Romans borrowed the most effective elements of Greek/Macedonian warfare, adding their own innovations and relying upon the almost superhuman endurance of the Roman foot soldier to create the greatest empire in history. The peerless Roman soldier made a navy seem superfluous and, most of all, un-Roman. Nonetheless, in typically inventive Roman fashion, and in the interest of safeguarding commerce and protecting its citizens, Rome created a ...

1) In the 1960 Stanley Kubrick film Spartacus, Spartacus (played by an icy and heroic Kirk Douglas) is an effective presentation of the character within the context of the film itself. Douglas' steely presence, indicated by his fierce eyes and imposing physicality, shows a character of immense strength and courage. He is a man of action, using few words, especially in the beginning, to convey his inner thoughts; like many slaves, his thoughts turn only to survival, lashing out with an economical sense of force in the many gladiatorial training and battle scenes he is to endure throughout the film. His ...

The collapse of the Roman Empire has been studied by hundreds if not thousands of scholars over time. Reasons why the fall took place are plentiful; however, the actions of one figure have been studied closely: that of Julius Caesar. Examining the letters and documents of Caesar, Marcus Tullius Cicero, and Sallust will help to answer the question as to why the fall of the Roman Empire occurred and how much Caesar is to blame. However, it will be shown that although Caesar may have quickened the stage for collapse through an upset in the constitutional political system of ...

It is a remarkable fact of Roman civilization that it did not introduce a system of coinage until the late third century B.C., coinciding approximately with the Republic’s final defeat of the Carthaginians. Romans had used crude bronze fragments and “ramo secco” bars during the fourth, and up to the late third century (Burnett 15). Many historians have theorized that the adoption of a formal coinage system was a result of Roman interaction with the Greek world, Rome having traded intensively with the people of Magna Graecia, the Greeks of southern Italy, during this period (Burnett 15). As the Greeks knew, the ...
