The relationship between power and artistic and literary culture
in the Greek world was if you were rich, you could dabble in
the arts and literature. People were not ruled by kings or leaders
the majority of places, but they did tend to follow their priest or
priestess and follow what they said on behalf of the gods. If
you were more skilled in specialized practices, or more
educated, since it was an oligarchy society, where the power
lies in the small, wealthy elites, you would of course be ranked
higher than slaves and peasants, but merchants and such
typically weren't ruling forces. The Roman and the Han Empires
shared many similarities, despite the fact that they developed
separately from each other. Both Roman and Han Empires
experienced social unrest during their collapse. Nomadic
invasions pestered both Roman and Han empires. Both empires
developed strong bureaucracies that allowed them to establish a
long period with effective centralized rule. The Roman Empire
and Han Dynasty were both powerful influential forces in their
heyday. However, Roman women were quite free and had
greater control over their wealth and property than preceding
states in the Mediterranean. One key difference from the Han
was an extensive institution of slavery, in which slave laborers
were used in large numbers to produce goods. The factor that
contributed to the collapse of both the Roman Empire and the
Han Dynasty is that wars with invaders from neighboring lands
weakened both empires. The Han Dynasty declined due to
internal political disputes among people in power and rebellion
form peasants that were tired of heavy taxation. The Han
Dynasty of China was the second imperial dynasty. It was a well
organized bureaucracy based upon Confucian ideas and
education. Roman Empire was a well organized bureaucracy
founded on Roman law and classical learning. Han China
focused on family ancestors and patriarchy, reliance on landed
gentry. Although the Han Dynasty was rebuilt by the Qin
Dynasty and the Roman Empire collapsed, they both led a very
greatly populated society to power and strength.
