Ancient Rome

The Roman Empire, if you mean "empire" but if you mean "Emperor" it was Caesar who conquered it and became emperor not long thereafter.

Brutus thought that Julius would become too overpowering if he was leader.

The Romans invented aqueducts, battlefield surgery, concrete, newspapers, and many more things.

Rome was founded in 753 BC.

The Mediterranean Sea determined the original imperial expansion of Rome. The Romans conquered all the lands and peoples on the shores of the Mediterranean in Europe, Africa and Asia. They then expanded further inland in Europe, but the Mediterranean remained the heart of the empire.

The Romans discovered cats. They thought cats were fearsome scavengers of the earth but actually, their quite gentle and sometimes do show love and affection to their owners. The Egyptians also were cat lovers. oops, gave too much of a history lessen there. And by the way, this was written by a ten year old.

Gladiator fights in ancient Rome were a big attraction for the population of the city. Other large cities in the Roman empire also staged gladiator combats. Combatants were usually slaves captured in battles or convicted criminals. A gallant fighter might win his freedom. A winner who only barely survived had to fight at least 3 more times to be elible for freedom. These "rules" changed from time to time.

All men wore the tunic and toga. The only difference was the wealthy had finer materials than the poor and a senator or public official had a purple stripe on his clothing.

Theodora encouraged Justinian to suppress the NIka riots in Constantinople with bloody violence instead of escaping. After that Justinian oversaw a period of greatness and splendour for the Byzantine Empire. His rule constituted a distinct epoch in the history of this empire.He was an autocrat rather tan a tyrant. Theodora became a champion of women's rights and a protector of dissident Christian doctrines.

Please specify which of the hundreds of conflicts with Rome which occurred over the 1200 years of Roman history you are referring to.

Pax Romana (Latin for "Roman peace") was the long period of relative peace and minimal expansion by military force experienced by the Roman Empire in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. Since it was established by Caesar Augustus it is sometimes called Pax Augusta. Its span was about 207 years (27 BC to 180 AD).[1]

The mountains near Rome provided plenty of water sources. When Rome's demand for water outstripped local supply, the Romans started to build aqueducts to bring water from the mountains. Over time the Romans built 11 aqueducts to supply their city

It is a Study Island Question. The answer is aqueducts.

Rome's First Period of Expansion began in 509 B.C.E. when the Romans drove the last Etruscan king out of power.

The first period of large scale expansion was the first phase of Rome's conquest of Italy in the interwar years between the 2nd ad 3rd Samnite Wars (304-298 BC) and the 3rd of these wars (298-290 BC). In the former Rome forced the Sabellic peoples of central Italy into alliances. By the end of the latter, Rome had taken control of and had alliances in the whole of central Italy, except from Etruria, and the present day regions Campania and Lucania in the south.

There was expansion, though far more limited than this, under the kingdom. This was in old Latium, the area around Rome. At the beginning of the republic (which begun in 509 BC) Rome had to defend herself against the attacks from Sabines, Aequi, and Volsci. It was not until the 380s BC that they became expansionist again by taking the Pomptine region, an area in the south of today's Lazio. There was expansion from the Pomptine to Naples from the first to the second Samnite wars (343--304 BC).

Jupiter was the supreme deity of Roman religion. He was the king of gods and the god of thunder. He was also the god of the Roman state and embodied the authority of the high officials. He was the god who was consulted by the high officials or priests called augurs before taking decision which regarded the welfare of the public or the state. He was consulted through the religious ritual called augury. This was the divination of his omens through the reading of the sky, the flight of birds or the behaviour of various animals. The purpose of the ritual was to see whether an intended action was met with his approval. The Romans interpreted bad outcomes or natural disasters as products of the wrath of the gods. Hence the need to divine the omens of Jupiter. Jupiter was also the god who protected the fetials. These were priests who acted as ambassadors, negotiated peace and declared war. Their action were under the auspice of Jupiter because he was also the divine embodiment of oaths and the patron of good faith.

The Romans overthrew Tarquinius Superbus because he was a tyrant. They decided abolish the monarchy to prevent the return of tyranny. This was the purpose of the republic. The king was replaced by two annually elected consuls. Having two men in charge meant that they could counterbalance each other. The short term of office meant that no one could concentrate power in their hands.

Italy, Gaul(France), Britain, North Africa, Egypt, Middle east, Turkey, Balkans, Greece. Iberian Peninsula

The Romans did not borrow anything art form the Minoan civilisation because this civilisation was around much earlier than Rome. The Romans borrowed later art forms: Classical and Hellenistic.

Rome was in Latium a(land of the Latins) and the Romans were Latins. Rome made an alliance with the other Latin city-states and then incorporated them after a rebellion of these Latin towns.

Rome did not actually conquer Italy (except for the North). It gained control over it by establishing alliances with the Italic peoples. This was not pre-planned. It was a development which was the result of the three Samnite Wars (343-341 BC, 326-304 BC, 298-290 BC) and the Pyrrhic war (280-275 BC).

The Samnites were a large people of central-southern Italy (present day Molise and the mountains of Campania). They were a considerable military force. The first war was fought in Campania, just north of Naples. The Campanian city of Capua asked Rome for help against a Samnite attack . In the second war, Rome adopted a policy of trying to encircle Samnium (the land of the Samnites). She made alliances with some cities in Apulia, east of Samnium. She defeated five small peoples (the Marsi, Paeligni, Marrucini,Frentani and Vestini) in central Italy just north of Samnium (in present day Abruzzo). After the war, Rome consolidated its control of this area by making alliances with these people who, due to Rome's strength, joined voluntarily. This strengthened Rome's position against the Samnites.

In the third Samnite war Rome defeated an alliance between the Samnites, the Etruscans, the Umbrians (in present day Umbria) and the Senone Gauls who lived in the present day Marche. These defeated people, except for the Etruscans, were then made to become allies. The Lucianans who lived to the south of Samnium (in present day Basilicata) became Roman allies because they had been attacked by the Samnites. Thus, the result of the wars was that Rome gained control of central Italy and the mountains of the south.

The rest of southern Italy came under Roman control as a result of the Pyrrhic war. Pyrrhus was a Greek king. He landed with a large army and wanted to conquer southern Italy. Though he won victories, he could not match the size of the Roman army and gave up. Following this Rome took control in this area as well, again by establishing alliances.

The Romans invaded part of the lands the Gauls of northern Italy because, they attacked Roman and Etruscan territories. In one occasion they got quite close to Rome. In this case there was a conquest.

The Roman did not conquer Etruria (in present day Tuscany) or forced the Etruscans into an alliance. This was they were able to control this region without these means.
