The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Rules & Regulations
3. If Aryabhatta was the 1st
Bhaskara was the 2nd
Apple was the 6th
Kalpana was the 35th
What are we talking about ?
Question 1
7. What is the rapid expansion of matter from a
state of extremely high density and
temperature which according to current
cosmological theories marked the origin of
the universe called ?
Question 3
8.
9. X is the focus of much scientific study. Its surface conditions and past
presence of water, make it arguably the most hospitable place.
Permanent X is one of science fiction's most prevalent themes. As
technology advances, and concerns about humanity's future on Earth
increase, arguments favouring X gain momentum.
Other reasons for X include economic interests, long-term scientific
research best carried out by humans as opposed to robotic probes, and
sheer curiosity.
Id X.
Question 4
11. At the age of 12, X made a Video Game
called Blastar & received $500 when its
source code was published in the South
African magazine PC and Office Technology.
In 2015, a Google software engineer
revised the code to function in HTML5 and
made it playable.
The objective of the game is to destroy an
alien ship filled with weapons of mass
destruction.
"It was a trivial game ... but better than
Flappy Bird” X said.
Id X.
Question 5
12.
13. The myth originated in 1904 in Henry Norman’s The People
and Politics of the Far East. It was reinforced in 1938 in Richard
Halliburton’s Second Book of Marvels - The Orient and
resurfaced once more during the Apollo moon landings and
shuttle era.
In 2003 Yang Liwei was disappointed when he couldn’t see X,
but in 2004 Leroy Chiao saved the day by taking a photo of it
through a telephoto lens.
So it seems the only sure-fire way to see the X for Yang Liwei
was to take a telescope with him, or maybe visit X.
What common myth am I talking about ?
Question 6
15. Connect
Malala Yousafzai (Book)
JK Rowling (Harry Potter’s glasses)
Sir David Attenborough (Whale)
Tim Peake (Spacecraft)
Sir Mo Farah (Mobot)
Serena Williams (Tennis Racket)
Usain Bolt (Lightning bolt celebration)

17. Dennis Lacarruba’s New Jersey company, Annin,
manufactured these for $5.50 a piece in the late
1960’s.
According to a report, all but one of these six, are still
standing up, but they all have become white due to
alternating 100 degree Celsius heat and -150 degree
Celsius darkness along with UV radiaton.
What am I talking about ?
Question 8
19. Based on data from the Operational Linescan System
flown on U.S. Defence Metrological Satellite Program
(DMSP), it is a color-composite created in 2003 by
NOAA scientist Chris Elvidge to highlight population
growth over time.
White,blue, green, red shades indicate city lights that
become visible in 1992, 1998 and 2003 respectively.
What is being described here ?
Question 9
20.
21. The X signal was a strong narrowband radio signal
received on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State
University's Big Ear radio telescope in the United
States, then used to support the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence.
The signal appeared to come from the constellation
Sagittarius and bore the expected hallmarks of
extraterrestrial origin.
Astronomer Jerry R. Ehman discovered the anomaly a
few days later while reviewing the recorded data. He
was so impressed by the result that he circled the
reading on the computer printout and wrote the
comment X on its side, leading to the event's widely
used name.
Id X.
Question 10
22.
23. X is a paradox of time travel that is often used as a convention in science fiction. It
exists when a time traveller is caught in a loop of events that Xs them traveling back
in time. Because of the possibility of influencing the past while time traveling, one
way of explaining why history does not change is by saying that whatever has
happened must happen.
A time traveller attempting to alter the course of history in this model would only be
playing their part in shaping history as we already know it, rather than changing any
aspects of the past.
In layman's terms, it means this: the time traveler is in the past, which means they
were in the past before. Therefore, their presence is vital to the future, and they do
something that causes the future to occur in the same way that their knowledge of
the future has already happened.
Id X which has also a recent Hollywood movie of the same name.
Question 11
24.
25. “I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is
coming again next year, and I expect to go out
with it. It will be the greatest disappointment
of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet.
The Almighty has said, no doubt: ‘Now here
are these two unaccountable freaks; they
came in together, they must go out together.”
Id this person was indeed born just after
Halley’s Comet appeared in 1835, and he died
of a heart attack one day after it appeared at
its brightest in 1910.
Question 12
26.
27. This bronze sculpture of Purdue alumnus by Chas
Fagan depicts him as an undergraduate student of the
1950s. He is sitting on a stone plinth and wearing a
windbreaker, Oxford shirt, khaki pants and penny
loafers.
His right hand is on a small stack of books, and his
slide rule is removed from the case and ready for use.
He is gazing over his left shoulder at a trail of sculpted
moon boot impressions and other symbolic features.
Id him.
Question 13
35. Id the famous person whose voice mimicry done here.
Question 17
36.
37. The X is a hand gesture popularized by the 1960s
television series Star Trek. It consists of a raised hand
with the palm forward and the thumb extended, while
the fingers are parted between the middle and ring
finger.
X was devised by Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed the
half-Vulcan character Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek
television series.
A 1968 New York Times interview described the salute
or greeting gesture as a "double-fingered version of
Churchill's victory sign". Nimoy said in that interview
that he "decided that the Vulcans were a 'hand-
oriented' people“.
Id X.
Question 18
45. The humerus (/ˈhjuːmərəs/, Plural: humeri) is a long bone in the arm or forelimb
that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. It connects the scapula and the two
bones of the lower arm, the radius and ulna, and consists of three sections.
For most of its length, the ulnar nerve is protected, like rest of the body's nerves,
by bones, muscles and/or ligaments. As the nerve passes the elbow, though, it
runs through a channel called the cubital tunnel, and here it's protected only by
skin and fat, making it vulnerable to bumps. When you hit it, you're actually
hitting the nerve against bone and compressing it. The result is an exhilarating
cocktail of numbness, tingling and pain that shoots through the areas where the
nerve does its work: down the forearm and hand and into the ring and pinky
fingers.
How do we commonly know this part of our body?
Question 22
51. This is a logo of Tesla, Model 3 Car. This logo has caused a confusion with
another iconic logo and that company has sued TESLA and TESLA is now
changing it’s logo. Identify the company which sued Tesla.
