Roman Roman Empire continued its dominance up to present times ?
Question:
If the Roman Roman Empire would have remained at its peek and continued its domenence up to present times how would the world be different?
Would it have gone on to conquer the whole world by now, 2009?
I have read that some believe that there would never have been the Dark Ages, resulting in technology to be say 500 years more advanced.
In another article i read that it is possible that the Romans would have conquered all of the eastern world and the Incas, Iroquois, and Aztecs would be constantly warring for control of the Americas.
Answer:
Maybe if it had not allowed corrupt emperors to break the economy with stupid wars, it could have stayed dominant much longer.

The names of the months January, February, March, April, May and June come from what Roman thing?
Question:
I have these to choose from:
cities in the Roman Empire
Roman emperors
Roman gods
famous Roman generals
Please help I can't seem to research it, I can't find anything. My teacher said we could research our answers so I am not cheating on my homework!
Answer:
Roman Gods
January: Janus, god of doorways, beginnings.
February: Not a god, from the Latin word for purification
March: Mars, the God of War (snows melt this month, so fighting in wars can continue)
April: again not a god, but from Latin for opening (the month, however, was sacred to Venus, Goddess of love because the flowers open in April)
May: Maia, goddess of fertility
June: Juno, Queen of the Gods
The remaining named months are named after people:
July: For Julius Caesar
August: For Emperor Augustus
The last four months are just numbered. Originally, all the Roman months were numbered, but they slowly added names to them, but stopped at August (several Emperors tried to rename more months for themselves, but none stuck). Since the Roman year started in March (the year started, to the Romans, with the end of winter), September gets its name from the number seven (the seventh month from March), October for the number eight, ect.

Based on Livy & Cato, what makes a Roman a Roman? What are their basic beliefs & solutions to civilization?
Question:
Based on stories about Titus Livy and Cato the Elder, and from your general knowledge, what makes a Roman a Roman? In other words, what are the basic beliefs of Rome and Romans? What are the solutions to civilization that they develop?
Answer:
Cato was very much a believer in the old values; gravitas, loyalty, discipline, austerity. He believed in hard work (especially the importance of agriculture), following the old ways, and avoiding what he saw as the corrupting Greek influence (especially luxury, he was steadfast in maintaining the oppian laws). He worked very hard to get his high positions, and felt doing public service was a citizens moral responsibility.
Livy in his writings pretty much upheld these same traditional views.
I am not sure what sort of solutions they develop aside from the traditional values they held dear and felt were the reason for Rome's growing greatness.

Is it possible the Roman Empire can come back?
Question:
Like how the Roman times were in most of Europe, parts of Arabia, North Africa, Roman clothes, Roman technology, etc.
I mean it possible this could happen again, i mean why not? i know technology is advancing & this makes the rise of the Roman Empire very unlikely but maybe technology would just stop or go backward or even be illegal to progress or something and maybe if people really put their mind to making Nations into the Roman era again then it just might be possible, i think it will be great, just like watching them Roman movies & makes you want to be in those times, i certainly dont belive its impossible.
Answer:
no. it will be impossible. people don't want empires now because empires always create wars and conflicts.
please, respect the church, never compare the present church to the roman empire

What is your opinion of the Roman Empire or Roman Period in history?
Question:
Do you admire ancient Rome's civilized and genteel ways in comparison the the rest of Europe back then or do you dislike them? If you have an opinion one way or another, what are your thoughts on the Roman Empire or ancient Romans?
Answer:
There has been something I am curious about which is if in either the Ancient Roman or the Republic of Greece there were protest marches.
I wonder because anti-war protests or peace marches seem possible to me in a democracy. There is nothing in the history books or archaeology to indicate this.
Empire could erase this evidence but if people know both were Republics there could be evidence of pro-democracy groups with protest signs.

During the Reformation which sections of Roman Empire remained Catholic?
Question:
During the Reformation which sections of the old Roman Empire remained Roman Catholic, which were in conflict, and which part became protestant?
Answer:
Not well versed in history, but I'm pretty sure the Roman empire had ceased to exist long before the Reformation. That would mean the entire Christian world was Catholic until the Protestants showed up in 1500.
God bless.

How everybody was Roman during roman time and similarly everybody was Greek when Greece was power ?
Question:
It seems that during peak time of Roman empire, most of the artists, sculptures, scientists etc were Romans and similarly most of all these were Greek when Greece was a power. Is it something like present that a growth and a power center attracts talents from far off places like New York at present ? Also could it be a fact that with the passage of time, the powers whose history has survived might have appropriated work of others and affixed thier own names to that. Please throw some light on that. I will appreciate if some reading material on that may also be provided. Thanks.
Answer:
One thing is that we are used in seeing art history as something linear so we think that it was first Egypt, then Greece and then Rome and that everything was the same at a specific moment. Possibly not everyone was roman but that's how we see it now because we are not interested in the rest or we fail to see the differences among the things we call "roman". Maybe in the future people would say that all 21 century art was "New York style".
However, it is true that prosperous cities where money and power are concentrated always atract artists. It is normal because it is in such ambients where artistic skills are needed.
The issue of a power apropriating a foreign art is more complicated. You could say that Romans apropriated Greek art and possibly some art made durring Roman times could still be considered Greek. But I think this issue becomes important much later during the 19th century when "national" art histories are writen.
