The Fall Of The Roman Republic
[ send me this paper ]
With the rumblings of war, Rome fortified its army with Italian allies into what ultimately became a war for plunder that lasted twenty-three years. Heavy losses of property and life did not deter the Romans' belief that they maintained a huge victory over Carthage. War thus became a means by which to enhance the city's appeal; it was by way of the First and Second Punic Wars that the Romans began to understand just how economically lucrative monarchy government can truly be.

The Four Dark Ages: Greece 1200-700 BCE; Rome 250-500 CE; Europe 9th & 10th Centuries; and 14th Century Europe
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the four “dark ages” in Europe. Europe underwent in essence four dark ages from 1200-700 BCE in Greece, 250-500 CE in Rome, the 9th and 10th centuries in Europe and again in the 14th century in Europe. All of these periods are denoted by their political, cultural, religious and social declines during the presence of increased warfare, decreased economy and sometimes plague or famine. Regardless of these dark eras, they showed creative activity which led the way to Renaissance. Homer’s poems were developed during the dark Greek ages and the centralization and establishment of the Christian religion took place during the end of the Roman period into the time of Charlemagne’s campaigns in 9th century Europe. The plagues and wars which shook Europe in the 14th century saw the development of humanism and a new creativity which was independent from the Church and new ideas were based on the strength of politics and man.

[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) " Civilized man from Scotland to Persia paid his taxes into the same treasury, was tried by the same law, was protected by the same armies, and enjoyed a profound and real peace-the PAX ROMANA- more than at any other time. This achievement was made possible on one hand by geography and on the other hand by able diplomacy, generalship, organization, government, and character." Those who had known Rome intimately were not so rational either in their praise or in the lament of her decline. We will look at some of those comments in this discussion.
