Best Answer

It depends on the historical period. The history of Rome lasted 1,200 years. Rome had a monarchy for 244 years (753-509 BC) a republic for 482 years (509-27 BC) and rule by emperors for 503 years (27 BC-476 AD). Under the monarchy the king was the focus of power. Under rule by emperor the emperor was the focus of power. During the republic the focus of power were the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the city and the army) and the senate.

Who destroyed ancient rome to build his own palace?

Nobody DESTROYED ancient Rome, they just tried to conquer it. Usually, it was the Byzantine empire that sacked Rome 3 times. But Rome was never destroyed, the real story is this: Rome was low on food, it was vulnerable, everybody was dying from Roman flu, hunger, and thirst. Until the Byzantine empire came the third time and sacked Rome- they took all their riches. When the Byzantium empire got all the riches, he said to the Romans, "I may think about giving you some food..." and he did. The Romans were fit, they were healthy, and ready to battle. They overthrew the Byzantine empire and ancient Rome was at peace again. After that, everybody started making new inventions and now here we are in 2012.

What did the ancient Egyptians believe about their name?

The ancient Egyptians believed that names were almost sacred. That knowing someone's name gave you power over that person. Therefore, some Egyptians did not give out their real name. The god Ra is an example. Ra was not the real name of the sun god. His name was kept secret so that no one would have power over him.
