About This Topic

Rome as a subject of academic study spans disciplines including ancient history, classical studies, art history, political science, and religious studies. Students encounter Rome in courses that trace the foundations of Western civilization, examine the dynamics of empire and power, and analyze the spread of Christianity and the institutional Church. The sheer breadth of Roman history — from the legendary Seven Kings of Rome through the Republic, the expansion of the Roman Empire, and its eventual fall — makes it one of the most analytically rich topics in world studies. Its entanglements with neighboring civilizations, particularly Carthage and Greece, and its lasting influence on Italy and modern governance give scholars multiple entry points for sustained academic inquiry.

The papers collected on this topic reflect a wide range of approaches. Comparative essays examine Rome alongside other powers, such as the Han Dynasty, or trace architectural and artistic legacies through formal analysis. Historical narratives focus on specific conflicts like the Punic Wars or biographical subjects like Julius Caesar. Other papers take cultural and mythological angles, exploring Greek and Roman mythology or the role of structuralism in classical myth. Some essays engage with Rome's religious transformation and the rise of Christianity, while art historical work analyzes specific objects and monuments in their imperial context.

A strong essay on Rome requires a clearly bounded thesis — focusing on a specific period, figure, conflict, or legacy rather than attempting to survey the entire civilization. Primary evidence drawn from ancient historians and material culture carries particular weight. The most common pitfall is conflating Greek and Roman traditions without acknowledging where they genuinely diverge.

Ancient Roman religion and its cultural significance

This essay examines some of the non-literary sources of information on ancient Roman religion, and particularly those spaces which demonstrate a confluence of the religious, political, and social. By examining three such spaces in detail, one can begin to appreciate how the centrality of Roman religion evidenced itself at every level of Roman life and representation. Ultimately, one is able to appreciate how non-literary sources of information on Roman religion can offer valuable insights into ancient practices and belief, above and beyond the understanding offered by literary sources.

Spanish Irish relations in the sixteenth century

Introduction - Overview To give some historical perspective to the battle / siege at Kinsale in 1601, it should be pointed out that the English pretty well controlled Ireland at that time. Author Paul State explains that Queen Elizabeth had attempted to put a stranglehold on Ireland going back ten years. Indeed by the 1590s, England had succeeded in "subduing Ireland, with one outstanding exception," and that was the heartland – the province of Ulster (State, 2009, p. 104). Ulster remained Gaelic in its culture and government, and the most powerful families in Ulster were the O'Neill family and the O'Donnell family, allies to be sure and in the eyes of the English they were a huge threat. Queen Elizabeth worried about the Ulster "lords" (i.e., O'Neill and O'Donnell) breaching English security in the rest of the country. On page 105 State explains that by 1595 Hugh O'Neill had rallied other rebel forces from around Ireland, believing that "…in the end, only by expelling the English from the entire island could he make his title secure." Hence, attacking the English with "musketmen, cavalrymen, and pikemen in imitation of the English," along with "gallowglasses from Scotland" (gallowglasses were mercenary warriors), O'Neill ambushed and harassed the columns of English soldiers (State, 105).

Non-Romans in the imperial army and Christianity's role in Roman decline

In this paper, we are going to be examining the impact of non-Roman troops in the Roman army. At the same time, there will be an emphasis on the effect of Christianity on society and the military. This will be accomplished by focusing on: how these shifts were occurring and the lasting effect they had on its identity / loyalty. Once this occurs, is when we show how these transformations impacted the downfall of the Roman Empire.
