Ancient Rome

Laws from ancient Rome have come to western countries indirectly - principally through the Eastern Empire centred on Byzantium (aka the Byzantine Empire) after Rome's western empire obliteration. They were also channelled therough English law. Sources of Roman law known to us are principally: Gaius Institutes Justinian Digest Justinian Code Ulpius Institutes Paulus Opinions Not dissimilar from today, law evolved from the Twelve Tables by custom and judicial precedent. And eminent jurists were invited by the Emperor to give opinions on various issues, and often quoted precedents/their predecessors in the process. The real codification Corpus Juris Civilis done for Justinian in 438 CE is extant and contains the above plus a couple of thousand other contributors.

The Pax Ramona, also known as the Roman Peace, refers to a period of relative peace and stability that existed within the Roman Empire during the reign of Emperor Augustus. It lasted from 27 BC to 180 AD and was characterized by minimal military conflicts, improved infrastructure, and the spread of Roman culture throughout the empire. It was a time of consolidation and expansion for the Roman Empire.

There were three main eras in Ancient Rome: the Roman Kingdom (753–509 BC), the Roman Republic (509–27 BC), and the Roman Empire (27 BC–476 AD). The Roman Kingdom was the earliest period when Rome was ruled by kings, followed by the Roman Republic, which was a period of democracy. The Roman Empire was marked by the rule of emperors and the expansion of Roman power.

The quote "Chance is always powerful - let your hook be always cast in the pool where you least expect it there will be a fish" is often attributed to Ovid, an ancient Roman poet. However, it is important to note that there is no specific citation of this quote in Ovid's works. It may be a paraphrase or interpretation of his ideas.

Ancient Rome left a significant lasting mark on the world, especially the U.S and Modern Europe.

The ancient Roman race chariots, known as "quadrigae," typically featured a lightweight and open structure with two wheels. The chariot had a box-like compartment for the driver to stand in and control the horses. The wheels were often reinforced with metal rims to increase stability and durability during races.

Jupiter did not have any brothers. He was the twin brother of the goddess Juno.

The main legacies of the Romans are religion, the alphabet, language, the calendar, law, architecture and literature.

Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Later Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.

Western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The only letters in the English language which do not come from the Latin alphabet are J, U and W.

Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are languages derived from Latin (Romance languages). Many Latin words or words of Latin origin have entered English via two routes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the court language and many French words entered into the English language. These words are usually of Latin origin.

Many international words in medicine, law and theology are Latin.

The calendar we use is the Gregorian calendar. It is named after the minor modifications made by the calendar instituted by Julius Caesar (Julian calendar) by Pope Gregory XII in 1582. Therefore, we basically use the Roman calendar. We also use translations of the Roman names for the months.

Roman law became influential through the Corpus Juris Civilis, a collection of books which reviewed imperial laws going back 400 years (to the time of Hadrian) and was commissioned by the emperor Justinian I. It scrapped obsolete or unnecessary laws, made changes when necessary and clarified obscure passages. Its aim was to put the laws into books (previously they were written on many different scrolls), harmonise conflicting views among jurists which arose from centuries of poorly organised development of Roman law and have a uniform and coherent body of law. It was rediscovered in a library in Pisa in 1070. It became the foundation of the training of the nascent profession of lawyers in Europe in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It has been used to compile the civil law of many modern nations.

The Romans influenced European architecture, sculpture and painting until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today). Palladian architecture was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century.

There was no particular meaning to the Roman helmet crests except that if they were worn at all, each unit would have to have the same color. The ordinary soldier had a feather used on his helmet for dress parades. A centurion wore his crest in order to distinguish himself in the battle line so his men could follow him. (In battle, the Roman centurions led by example) There is no consensuses on the colors used. Sources that mention helmet feathers are divided between the colors red and yellow.

It was spoken about 3000 years ago.

Writing was important to the Romans for the same reasons that it is important to us. It was their means of correspondence, both for business purposes and for personal purposes. Record keeping, the rolls of citizenship, tax assessments, accounting matters, the manumission papers of a slave, marriage contracts, business contracts,--the list goes on--all had to be written as there were no CDs on which to save them. Plays, poetry and other literature also had to be written in order for them to be distributed and read.

They fought many animals such as lions or tigers I don't believe crocodiles were one of them.

Young men were under the legal authority of their fathers. Moreover, families and allegiance to the family was very important to the Romans and the young usually respected that. This was enough for them to be trusted. When they came of age they simply acquired citizenship, which gave them the right to vote and (if from wealthy families) to start pursuing a career in public office (usually by serving in the army first).

After driving the last Etruscan king from the throne, the Romans vowed never again to put so much trust in kings. They wanted a government that did not rely on the will of one ruler. Therefor creating a republic.

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).

how did the romans cope with the scots

Palatine Hill

Rome was a densely packed city. Only alleys separated the buildings and they were illuminated by torches. A fire in a house on one side of the street could easily spread to the other side of the street. The apartment blocks (insulae) which were six-seven floors high, were made of bricks and timber or poor quality concrete. Their build was of poor quality because speculators wanted to minimise costs. The insulae were prone to collapse or fire.

When the emperor Nero redeveloped Rome after the Great Fire of 64 the houses were spaced out and built with porticoes facing wide streets. The emperor Nero also legislated a restriction in the height of the houses. This decreased the risk of fire, but did not eliminate it. Regulations about house heights were at times ignored and the quality of construction remained poor.

Rome's conquests spread Latin across Europe, laying the foundation for Romance languages like Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. Latin also influenced the development of academic and scientific terminology in many languages, contributing to the richness of vocabulary in fields like law, medicine, and theology.
