From Wikipedia:
The Roman Empire is the phase of the ancient Roman civilization characterized by an autocratic form of government. The Roman Empire succeeded the 500-year-old Roman Republic (510 BC – 1st century BC), which had been weakened by the conflict between Gaius Marius and Sulla and the civil war of Julius Caesar against Pompey the Great. Several dates are commonly proposed to mark the transition from Republic to Empire, including the date of Julius Caesar's appointment as perpetual dictator (44 BC), the victory of Caesar's heir Octavian at the Battle of Actium (September 2, 31 BC), and the Roman Senate's granting to Octavian the honorific Augustus. (January 16, 27 BC).

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.

How did Roman soldiers tell friend from foe during the Battle of Philippi?
Question:
If it was Cassius and Brutus vs. Antony and Octavian, how did their forces fight? It's Roman against Roman! Wouldn't that be confusing? I mean, how would you know who was your comrade and who was your enemy on the field? I'm sure they wore the same uniform, same standard, same shield.... How did they tell enemy from from buddy? How did they distinguish that? If I was a soldier in that battle, hell, I'd be confused!


Answer:
Each legion had a distinctive vexillium (standard).The commanders would also have had their own personal standards. Further,Roman units were well trained and drilled;each group of 8 men shared a tent, and each would have known his decurion.Each decurion would have known his centurions in his cohort,the centurions the tribunes in their legion, and so on.Romans fought in disciplined formations (a large part of their military success), not swirling every man for himself melees - the guy directly facing you was the enemy.

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.

How did the Roman religion assist the Roman Republic in its ascent to being the important in mediterranenwar?
Question:
Discuss the Rome and the role of its Religion? Rome and the role of its Religion Compare and contrast Roman religion with that of the Greeks. How did the Roman religion assist the Roman Republic (and later the Roman Empire) in its ascent to being the most important state in the Mediterranean world?


Answer:
Keep in mind for future reference that it's a bit rude to post an entire assignment online. I'll give you some broad info about your first question. The Roman religion was remarkably flexible. Not only was it polytheistic, but it allowed for other peoples' gods to be added to the official Roman ones. Thus Romans were able to show their various pagan subjects that their local religions (and therefore culture, morals, etc.) were compatible with the Roman religion. Once emperors began to rule Rome, they were depicted as gods in the Imperial Cult. Their subjects had to worship them to prove their loyalty. Initially this helped emperors establish loyalty from their subjects. But Christians refused to believe, and this is how their clashes with Rome arose.

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.

Who was the greatest Roman ruler of all time?
Question:
For this question all roman rulers can be considered. Anyone from the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire, and even the Byzantine Empire as they were once part of the Roman Empire. Thank you for your answers I look forward to hearing your responses. By the way my vote is for Trajan for a variety of reasons but mostly for the fact that he mastered and had the support of the military, the senate, and the people and did nothing but improve the Empire. Also, I like that he rose to power rather than being born into it.


Answer:
Augustus was undoubtedly the best. He ended the obsolete but still beloved republic and replaced it with a much needed new authoritarianism, paving the way for the greatest period of Roman history, the first and second centuries. In effect, Augustus accomplished what had to be done the only way it could've been done--i.e. in a way that paid enough lip service to the republic to make the transition to Caesarism palatable. In other words, Augustus was a great statesman and a genius, and the great age of the Roman Empire was the fruit of his genius. He was better than Trajan in that he recognized that the Empire had become as big as it could while remaining sustainable. Trajan may have succeeded at taking and holding dacia but as others note, his near eastern conquests were a costly failure. I wouldn't rate Diocletian very highly because the hardest work of saving the third century empire had already been done by Aurelian. In evaluating emperors, you got to do so in light of the times and challenges they faced. In other words, some emperors seem great because times were relatively easy--it wasn't too tough to get a lot done. Others seem crummy because times were so tough it was very hard to do anything. It is possible that Majorian might've been a great emperor had he reigned in the first or second century instead of the fifth, when everything had gone to pieces.
