Contributions of Rome
Rome is worth studying because of their contributions. Today, we have a lot of stuff they use to have. Rome's lasting contributions are the laws and citizenship, Engineering,Architecture, Art, Philosophy, and Christianity. Diocletian was the emperor the Romans were loking for develpment and Constantine was not long after Diocletian left the power, so that's why Rome started falling. The languages we speak today is called Latin. There are a lot of languages in Latin, almost all of them come from the Ancient Rome. That languages are Sabine, Etruscan, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanic, etc. Ancient Rome was multilingual, that means that Rome use to speak a lot of languages. Immigrants, slaves, residents, and ambassadors from around of the world were also multilingual. They had laws that helped the empire survive. The Roman empire wrote down their laws and kept them on public display. The laws helped the Roman empire be free of unfair treatment. Officials have to treat everyone the same because all the people knew their laws. =**// Geography //**=

The Roman Empire grew from a small village to a huge city. Their population grew as the city grew until one day Rome was the home for a million people. A lot more millions of people lived in Rome's territory. Together, these territories sorrounded the Mediterraneansea and Rome was one of the largest states in the world. Their goverment change every moment Rome gather more territory. Rome was ruled by king, but then it turned to a republic ruled by elected leaders. These emperors helped Rome become richer, powerful, and larger for thousands of years.That map is Rome geography.

=Fall of Rome= Rome started falling because of a lot of reasons. The reasons are that Barbarians invaded Rome, the territory was too large for one emperor to rule so they divided Rome, Rome military was weak, they don't have enough food for everyone to eat, there was corruption in Rome, and there was a disease.Rome empire let the people from outside go inside the Rome. =Engineering, Architecture, and Art= Romans gather Greek ideas for art, architecture, and engineering, but they puted an innovation from their own. Engineering and architecture were almost the same. They had a lot of beautiful things including paintings, aquaducts, rodes, bridges, etc. Their buildings inspired many other people, so cities started building things that were alike from Rome. =Philosophy= Rome wanted to show the world as it was, such as artists. They don't wanted to be like Greek philosophers who spent their time thinking about ideal worlds. Romans wanted to think about how their stuff would make people's life better and how it would influence them. Stoics (a group of philosophers) thought that people shouldn't be concern about possessions and should be concern about living a good life. Romans civic duty ideas were from Stoics ideas. The United States taught of civic duty and have civic duty because of Rome. =Christianity= In the first century AD christanity appeared in Rome. They saw it as an older religion, they thought that it wouldn't become a major force in the Roman empire, but it grew and spread quickly through Rome. Christianity couldn't be stopped even if officials tried to stop it. Romans supported until it become the official religion of Rome because one day an emperor become christian. Christianity spread all around the world. In the 300s, most of the population of Rome was Christian. The head of church become the major figures of the Roman society.

=Romans Emperor= The Roman Emperor was the ruler from the Roman state during starting in 27 BC, just like a president as we have today. The Romans had no single term for the position although at any given time, a given title was associated with the emperor. There were other titles that were regularly accumulated by emperors. The power of the emperors was generally based on the accumulation of powers from republican offices and the support from the Army. Roman emperors refused to be considered "kings", instead claiming to be leaders of a republic.The first emperor,Augustus, resolutely refused recognition as a monarch.
