However strong the imperial leadership in Rome, it became increasingly difficult to maintain the peace.
2. The fall of Rome cannot be traced to a singular cause. As the empire's boundaries expanded from Great Britain to the Near East, social and political control became increasingly difficult. Conquered peoples often revolted or refused to pay tributes. Inefficient and corrupt centralized government could not maintain political control over distant territories. The spread of Christianity throughout Roman lands threatened the integrity of the empire by calling into question Roman values, social order, and religious tradition. As Rome's tenuous grip on its remotest territories weakened, the empire became increasingly susceptible to invaders: especially the Germanic tribes.
3. Christianity sprouted when Judea was a Roman territory and thus, the most powerful empire at the time would feel the political implications of the new religion. Had Christianity evolved elsewhere it might not have played such a major role in shaping the world 2000 years ago. The small sect soon grew a group of followers who were at first persecuted heavily...
Christians refused to worship Roman gods, let alone recognize the Caesar ("Religion" nd). They were not only a religious cult but a political one: one that would prove enervating for the Romans. Gradually, however, Christianity took root. Constantine adopted the religion as his personal faith and as the state religion, transforming the Roman Empire and ultimately the entire world. The Holy Roman Empire became a Christian political entity. Christianity would replace the indigenous religions of Europe, and would later influence European social norms.

The Roman people regarded themselves as highly religious. They linked their success as a powerful force in the world to their cordial relations with the gods. The victory by the Romans was essentially a religious occasion in which the generals exhibited their piety and zeal to serve society by dedicating a fraction of their fortunes to the gods. Jupiter was particularly called to attention in such circumstances because he was
In addition, Rome's issue is not name recognition, but rather positioning. Public relations is more effective at shifting the positioning of the Rome brand than attending trade shows. The primary advantage of a PR campaign and the related media relations is that the message reaches the target market. The media are beneficiaries of the campaign, so will be willing partners. This allows the message to be spread. Public relations is
] In 46 B.C., once again Sallust was given an opportunity to shine or fail, as he was made a practor and sailed to Circina where he proved himself by stealing the enemies' stores. In return, Caesar rewarded Sallust with the title of proconsular governor of all of the province of Numidia and Africa. Others with a much stronger background were expecting this position, but it may have just been that
The Campus was a busy place, a place where the remains of Augustus would have been a constant reminder of a once great emperor. The view from Augustus' Mausoleum is looking out upon the garden side of the Campus Martius, not the city side (Lanciani; 1897). "His Res gestae inscribed on two bronze pillars set up in front of his mausoleum, and elsewhere, gives a valuable account of his principate

One of these intangibles is the human capacity to produce both incredible beauty and horrific evil -- both of which occur during war. In fact, we may ask -- what is war?
