MARCH OF THE TITANS - A HISTORY OF THE WHITE RACE Chapter 12 : Rome: The Age of the Caesars - Pre-Christian Rome Part Two: The Rise of the Emperors As recounted in part 1 of this section, Rome had been founded on a racial amalgamation of Old Europeans and Latini Indo-Europeans. Out of this potent mix came the great Roman Republic, which, after defeating the Carthaginians, quickly became the dominant power in the Mediterranean. THE LATE REPUBLIC (133 - 30 BC ) In 133 BC, the ruler of an independent state in central Asia Minor (Turkey), one Pergamum, died. When his will was read, he had left his country to Rome. This somewhat bizarre wish - which was duly carried out - served as a springboard for the later Roman occupation of the rest of Asia Minor and the Near East. The period from 133 BC to 30 BC is known as the late Republic, during which Rome itself was to experience civil strife not seen since the days of the Latini insurrection against the Etruscans. In addition to this, Rome also engaged in a number of foreign wars. SLAVES - THE SEEDS OF ROME'S DECLINE From the very earliest times the Romans had also been importing slaves into their homeland - a policy which was to grow into a major commercial activity in Rome itself - but also ultimately to lead to Rome being filled with all manner of people who bore no resemblance to the Romans themselves. Slaves from the Far East, Africa and the Semitic speaking world filled the slave houses of Rome in their hundreds of thousands.

43. The Story Of Mankind - The Roman Empire (Hendrik Van Loon) In 14 AD his position as the Absolute Ruler of the roman people had true “emperors –the absolute rulers of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. http://www.authorama.com/story-of-mankind-25.html

The Story of Mankind Hendrik van Loon Presented by Auth o rama Public Domain Books The Roman Empire HOW THE REPUBLIC OF ROME AFTER CENTURIES OF UNREST AND REVOLUTION BECAME AN EMPIRE WHEN the Roman armies returned from these many victorious campaigns, they were received with great jubilation. Alas and alack! this sudden glory did not make the country any happier. On the contrary. The endless campaigns had ruined the farmers who had been obliged to do the hard work of Empire making. It had placed too much power in the hands of the successful generals (and their private friends) who had used the war as an excuse for wholesale robbery. The old Roman Republic had been proud of the simplicity which had characterised the lives of her famous men. The new Republic felt ashamed of the shabby coats and the high principles which had been fashionable in the days of its grandfathers. It became a land of rich people ruled by rich people for the benefit of rich people. As such it was doomed to disastrous failure, as I shall now tell you. Within less than a century and a half. Rome had become the mistress of practically all the land around the Mediterranean. In those early days of history a prisoner of war lost his freedom and became a slave. The Roman regarded war as a very serious business and he showed no mercy to a conquered foe. After the fall of Carthage, the Carthaginian women and children were sold into bondage together with their own slaves. And a like fate awaited the obstinate inhabitants of Greece and Macedonia and Spain and Syria when they dared to revolt against the Roman power.

George, The World Dictator History will record that George came to power under questionable circumstances, but once in office he was accepted, and thereafter took firm control at home and abroad. He regarded himself and his nation to be the superior of all other people on earth, despite the plain truth that his great nation was founded and built by those "lowly foreigners" that he had such haughty contempt for, people who were, in reality, his own blood , his own family. But George's selfish ignorance and foolish arrogance notwithstanding, his nation truly was great; its wealth was unsurpassed in the history of humanity up to that time. Vast numbers of troops under George's command were garrisoned in nations far and wide; resistance to them was swiftly annihilated by their superior numbers and firepower. George's magnificent navy was composed of great fleets of powerful warships that ruled the oceans of the world. Backed by his economic and military might, George became a de facto (i.e. existing in fact whether with lawful authority or not) world dictator and believed that he had "the God-given right" to do so. But the time came when some of the people who were subject to George's tyranny declared that they had the God-given right to rule themselves, in their own homelands, free of the intimidation and wrath of any aggressive foreign leader who claimed the right to dictate to them. So, in 1776 some of those oppressed people, under the wise and very courageous leadership of men and women with such now-famous names as Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin, set themselves free of the tyranny of George, King George III of England, and declared that all people were created equal under God, and that no one should ever be ruled by a foreign leader. George, King George III, had a mental breakdown in 1788, and after being officially declared insane in 1811, was succeeded by his son, George, King George IV. George III died in 1820, and now awaits the Judgment Day in which he will answer directly to Almighty God, with no one to protect or speak for him, for all of the things that he claimed to have "the God-given right" to do.

Home Economic Education Coins of the Ancient Mediterranean World The coins we use as money today have a history that goes back 2,700 years. Ancient people used metals, especially gold and silver, to mint coins. Rulers soon learned to standardize their coins and define them in terms of fixed quantities of gold and silver, thus establishing a rate of exchange between the two metals. The usefulness of early forms of money was often restricted by its inconvenient size, limited geographic acceptance and unpredictable fluctuations in the supply and demand for metals. In ancient times, the greatest stimulus to trade came when rulers such as Alexander the Great and the Roman emperor Augustus established uniform coinage systems that were widely recognized and accepted. Today, most currency is paper money, and coins are passed as small change. Still, coins have many of the same features that they had in ancient times. For example, modern coins have a government-approved design and value stamped on them, like the earliest coins did. Many nations still follow the Greek and Roman custom of recognizing famous people by placing their portraits on coins. Even the eagle, which appears on the back of the U.S. quarter, can trace its use as a symbol back to the coins of the ancient Mediterranean. Most historians think the city-states of Greece and kingdoms of Asia Minor invented the first coins in the 7th century B.C. The Kingdom of Lydia, in present-day Turkey, stamped lumps of precious metals with an official seal to guarantee their weight and purity. Lydian metal, stamped with King Croesus' seal, became something everyone accepted. Public confidence in the King's money gave trade a great boost.

48. World History In Britain, famous roman towns were Chester, Caerleon, York, Silchester, the prince and people, were devoted to improve and to adorn the roman empire. http://www.sacklunch.net/history/21.html

Index Previous Page Next Page The Roman Empire The City of Rome and its decaying senate had failed in its attempt to rule the now vast Roman Empire. The mightiest of the Romans, Julius Caesar, had formed great plans for improving and organizing the Empire. Both Caesar and Alexander before him the greatest men of the ancient world had hoped, if they had lived, to weld together East and West, from the borders of India to the Atlantic Ocean. Brutus and Cassius, and earlier patriots like Cicero, had tried to restore the ancient republic. But the fine old Roman character had been destroyed in the constant wars, and Rome and its rabble of citizens could no longer rule an empire. The death of Julius Caesar was followed by fourteen more years of civil war. At last (31 B.C.) these turmoils ended with the triumph of Caesar's grand-nephew, who became Augustus, "the august," and Princeps, "the first of Roman citizens" in fact, the first Emperor of Rome, though the hated name of "king" was not used. And so the century of violent changes or revolution (133-31 B.C.) ended in the rule of one man as in the ancient East. And this Roman Empire lasted, though it gradually decayed after the first two centuries, for 500 years.

THE ROMANS AT WORK AND PLAY History is more than the study of wars and governmental institutions. As I said in my first lecture, history is essentially the story of people in their eternal confrontation with each other and with the forces of nature. So, today let us take a close look at the everyday life of the Romans. To understand fully the Roman standards of living, we need to compare Pompeii with Rome, the Eternal city. Pompeii and Herculaneum are museums to prove the high standard of living in third rate towns during the first century of the Roman empire. At Pompeii three municipal baths, two theatres, a basilica for the law-courts, a temple of Jupiter, and an amphitheater are luxurious public buildings for any town of 20,000 people in any age. The shops, the taverns, the bakeries, and the houses reinforce the picture of a solid comfort and prosperity. The House of Pansa is 319 feet by 124, that of the Dancing Faun is 262 feet by 115, and these are big houses for any town or city. All Pompeian houses face inward. When you walk into the House of Pansa today you come first into the atrium. This is a tall room with an opening to the sky in the center of the roof. Beneath the opening is a rectangular pool to catch the rain-water. At the sides are rooms opening off the atrium, At the back is a room called the tablinum. This was a step above the atrium and could be closed off from it by curtains. This atrium complex of rooms was, originally, the house in which the early republican Romans had eaten, slept, and washed dishes. By the last century of the republic, the atrium had become the reception hall, while the rooms off it bad been transformed into expensively-equipped salons. If the family was noble, as in the case of Pansa, statues of the ancestors stood along the walls of the atrium, and in a cabinet in one of the wings of it were their waxen death-masks.

He conquered Gaul and his victories brought into the empire what should later become one of the most important new territories to the empire. He also led expeditions into Germany and Britain , which were at that time completely unknown to Romans. But his political enemies never stopped plotting against him and tried to take away his power. He took power over Rome as a dictator, a ruler with lots of power. In Egypt he fell in love with the Egyptian queen, Cleopatra VII. Julius Caesar also reformed the calendar. His is the calendar we use today and July is named in his honor. Augustus The first Emperor Augustus was the first emperor of Rome .

Roman Religion Back to Main Use this index to skip to topics OR scroll down on your own Introduction The Phases of Roman Religion First Phase Second Phase ... Picture Gallery Introduction Throughout the history of Rome, from the monarchy to the late empire, religion had played a great role in it's society and was involved in almost every aspect of the life of the Roman citizen. It was common for each house to have it's own patron god/gods and ,on special occasions, the head of the house would make a sacrifice to the personal gods of the family. Also, great festivals were usually held in honor of certain gods and would include spectacles like chariot races and Gladiatorial fights. The Phases of Roman Religion The religious practices of the ancient Romans are best remembered with grand temples, great festivals and Christian persecution to the final acceptance of Christianity within the Roman empire over the traditional pagan religions. The Roman religious practices can be divided into three phases which span from the founding of the city to the fall of the empire. The First Phase (753 BC to 500 BC) - The first phase of Roman religion dated from the founding of the city to the early republic. This phase occurred before the Roman civilization had really adopted the Greek ways and so the religious practices of this time consisted of only three gods and these gods were known as the Archaic Triad. The gods of the archaic Triad were Jupiter (Jove) ,Mars and Quirinus. These gods had their Greek counterparts and would later be identified with them. Jupiter was the supreme master god and so he was associated with Zeus of Greek mythology. Ares was the god of power and war and so he was associated with his Greek counterpart, Ares and Quirinus was the god of the Roman people in general and he had no Greek counterpart. Mars was valued and worshipped more by the conquering and warlike Romans than Ares was to the Greeks and ,as a result, he had The Fields of Mars named after him. The Fields of Mars was located outside of Rome and it is where the soldiers would train.

TV Listings Text Only Site A-Z FourDocs ... GAMES The social hierarchy The people of the empire fall into three principal categories: citizens, provincials and slaves. Full citizenship is often granted to provincials en masse as a way of securing their loyalty to Rome. Soldiers from far-flung corners of the empire are guaranteed full citizen rights (and land on which to settle) after 25 years' service. Sometimes they earn it sooner, especially when it is used as a bribe to win their support in the numerous power struggles that beset Rome. Senators At the top of the social hierarchy, of course, is the emperor. But the Senate, which is made up of wealthy aristocrats and ruled the Roman Republic before the position of emperor was established, still provides the leading members of the government. These include consuls, other magistrates and provincial governors. Originally elected by the citizens of Rome, by the time of the empire senators are either appointed by the emperor or inherit their position. Equestrians Below the senators are the equites Plebeians and slaves Next come the plebeians, including up to 200,000 citizens among the urban poor who are dependent on the emperor's 'dole' of free corn (

var loc = "../../../"; L. Michael White: Professor of Classics and Director of the Religious Studies Program University of Texas at Austin Did Christian literature contain...predictions that might have aroused suspicions of civic disloyalty? The Christian tradition seems to be ambivalent toward the Roman state at certain times. We have this apocalyptic tradition that seems to have an implicit criticism of the state and indeed some lingering portions of the apocalyptic tradition within Christianity continued to be very antagonistic toward the Roman Empire and the imperial state structures. The Book of Revelation, or the apocalypse as it's known within the New Testament documents, is a very strong denunciation of the state. Here the emperor and the imperial court are portrayed as a dragon who goes out to devour the Virgin Mother of a heavenly child. There's no way of reading this other than an absolute polemic against the beastly nature of the empire over against the spiritual nature of the Christian church, and in this tradition it is also clear what God has in mind for the future.... In the Book of Revelation the future plan of God has a very clear and definite ending. Rome will be thrown down. The church will survive in triumph. This is the legacy of apocalypse that we still see in certain brands of Christianity. On the other side we find Christians saying just the opposite, that the emperor and governors and the state as a whole are ordained by God and one should be respectful of the state and its municipal offices. Certain Christians seem to go way out of their way to avoid persecution, and not only avoid persecution but avoid being viewed as disloyal to the state. Paul himself seems to say this in Romans 13 .... By the second and third century, Christians will still be claiming we're loyal to the state. "We're not bad citizens. We're not doing anything wrong. Look at what we do. Look at what we teach. Look at how... what we practice. Look are our ethics and you'll see we're just as good citizen[s] as you."

60. Roman Emperors - DIR Trajan In the late fourth century, when the roman empire had dramatically changed incharacter from what it The Emperor in the roman World (Ithaca, NY, 1977) http://www.roman-emperors.org/trajan.htm

Virtual Catalog of Roman Coins An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors DIR Atlas Trajan (A.D. 98-117) Herbert W. Benario Emory University Introduction and Sources "During a happy period of more than fourscore years, the public administration was conducted by the virtue and abilities of Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, and the two Antonines. It is the design of this and of the two succeeding chapters to describe the prosperous condition of their empire, and afterwards, from the death of Marcus Antoninus, to deduce the most important circumstances of its decline and fall, a revolution which will ever be remembered and is still felt by the nations of the earth." This is perhaps the most important and best known of all Edward Gibbon's famous dicta about his vast subject, and particularly that period which he admired the most. It was a concatenation of chance and events which brought to the first position of the principate five men, each very different from the others, who each, in his own way, brought integrity and a sense of public duty to his tasks. Nerva's tenure was brief, as many no doubt had expected and hoped it would be, and perhaps his greatest achievement was to choose Trajan as his adoptive son and intended successor. It was a splendid choice. Trajan was one of Rome's most admirable figures, a man who merited the renown which he enjoyed in his lifetime and in subsequent generations.
