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.

Juluis Caesar-Shakespheare -- a Parallel Text, Third

William Shakespeare's tragedy Julius Caesar provides audiences with an account involving the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, the 44 B.C. conspiracy that resulted in his violent assassination, and the continued violence that dominated Rome consequent to his death. In spite of the fact that the play's title is Julius Caesar, Caesar's character only appears in three scenes. The tragedy's central character is Marcus Brutus and most of the storyline relates to him and to his failure to understand matters from a general perspective when he has the chance to do so. The play actually demonstrates how violence can emerge from individuals misinterpreting behavior seen in others and the idea of violence dominates most of the play, shaping the way that characters interact and think.

Corporate Worship vs. Private Worship

This paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed, scholarly and biblical literature to support the need for corporate worship.

A summary of the research and important findings concerning these issues are presented in the conclusion.

Treaty of Lisbon: Democratic Deficit and EU Reform

The Reform Treaty or the Treaty of Lisbon, 2009, is an amending instrument for existing treaties, Treaty of European Union ("TEU) (also known as the Maastricht Treaty) and Treaty on Functioning of European Union ("TFEU") – the Treaty of Rome- which form the bedrock of the European Community's administrative and legislative functions. The historical background for the need for this "reform" treaty was the failure of the treaty to establish a European Constitution which had been voted out by referenda in France and Netherlands. Nonetheless it was felt amongst member states that they needed a compact that would perhaps more suitably express their desire to form a closer and more perfect union. In doing so the member states had to strike a balance between national aspirations and the aspirations of European unity. (Bonde, 2009) Added to this triangle was the need to sustain existing devolution. The complexity of the puzzle created by the various stakeholders required a sustained effort and that effort materialized in 2007 with the aforesaid treaty which was put in force in 2009.
