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.

1. Reading Strategy
Introduction
Before beginning to read any text - a book, a magazine or journal article - you should ask yourself
three questions
• What am I reading about ?
• Why am I reading ?
• How am I reading ?
Example: Reading a history book.
What : World War II.
Why : Looking for the causes of the war
How : From the first word to the last word.
Many students are only familiar with from the first word to the last word strategy. The other strategies
that can be used for understanding a text - a book, a magazine or a journal article - are
1. Overviewing a passage
2. Understanding the main point
3. Understanding relationships in passages
4. Checking references
5. Finding the information we need
6. Guessing the unknown word
Overviewing a Passage
By overviewing a passage, we should know
1. The Topic : What is the passage about ?
2. The Writer's purpose : Is the writer, for example, describing a process, making a comparison,
giving recommendation ?
We do this strategy by
1. Reading the tide and headings to understand what the passage is about.
2. Looking at the titles of any diagrams, tables, graphs and illustrations.
In this strategy, we need not
1. Read word by word.
2. Follow the text with our finger or a pen.
3. Worry about words we do not understand.
2. Whether we are overviewing a book, a magazine or an article, we should never take more than two
minutes.
Understanding the main point
One paragraph contains one main idea; and we can find this main idea in a SUMMARY SENTENCE.
The summary sentence is frequently, though not always, the first or the second sentence of the
paragraph. To understand the main points of a passage, we should LOCATE and UNDERLINE THE
SUMMARY SENTENCE IN EACH PARAGRAPH.
The other sentences in the paragraph expand, illustrate and/or explain this main idea.
Understanding relationships in passages
There are relationships in words and phrases in a sentence; between the sentences in a paragraph and
between whole paragraphs. Understanding and recognizing these relationships helps us read more
effectively.
Some of the most common types of relationship linking ideas in passages are
1. Addition :
Using and, as well, in addition to, besides, also, another, the other, first,second etc.
2. Consequence :
Using cause, lead to, result in, as a consequence, consequently, therefore, hence, as a result.
3. Sequence :
Using then, afer, later, until, when, before.
4. General and Particular :
Using such as, e.g., for example, for instance.
5. Contrast/comparison :
Using but (not), as opposed to, in contrast, on the other hand, however.
Contoh :
1. A cactus does not need very much water,
ADDITION
In addition, it is well adapted to high temperatures.
2. Changes in temperature break rocks into pieces.
SEQUENCE
Then the wind blows the pieces away.
3. Temperatures in deserts are extremely high during the day.
CONTRAS
However, at night they are often very low.
3. 4. There is very little rainfall in deserts.
CONSEQUENCE
Therefore few plants can live there.
Checking References
In a set of statements, some of the words in one sentence are often repeated in other sentence. In
passages, we try not to repeat words very often. We can refer back to words used in other sentences,
This relation is called reference.
Study this short passage and notice the use of reference. This use of reference is shown in the diagram.
Deserts are very dry regions. They have very little rainfall. Few plants live there. Some specialized
animals do. Some deserts have a surface of sand. The sand often forms dunes. These are created by
the wind. Others have stones or rocks.
Deserts are very dry regions.
They have very little rainfall.
Few plants live there. Some specialized animal do
Some deserts have a surface of sand. The sand often
Forms dunes. These created by the wind.
Others....... have................. stones rocks.
Others deserts have surface of stones rocks.
In order to read efficiently we also need to be able to understand the way in which words can refer to
other words in a passage.
Finding the information we need
When our objective is to extract specific information, we should use the following strategies
1. Focus on our objective, ignoring irrelevant information.
2. Look in likely places. Knowing the organization of the text will help to decide which parts of
the text are more likely.
3. Run our eyes rapidly over the text, looking for words and phrases associated with the target
information.
4. Use print style to help us, such as names, numbers, italics, bold.
Remember that the information we need to locate may be expressed in different forms.
Guessing the unknown words
In any comprehension text you will find words that you don't know. You can look them up in a
dictionary, of course, but it's a good idea to get into the habit of doing without a dictionary as much as
possible, particularly if you are preparing for an examination. In fact, if you read the text carefully and
4. think, it's usually possible to guess the meaning of most of the words that you don't know.
Look at the context of each word-the sentence that it's in, and the sentences that come before and
after. Look to see if the word is repeated later in the text; the more often it's used, the easier it is to
understand.
Don't expect to be able to guess all new words in a text. There will be some that you can only get a
vague idea, and a few will be impossible. Don't waste too much time worrying about these; the most
important thing is to understand the text as a whole as well as possible, and one or two difficult words
won't usually make much difference.
