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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
1. How does your media product
represent particular social
groups?
G e o r g i e R o b b i n s
2. A social group is a group of people who can
be generalised based on a variety of
interests that they hold in common with
each other. They combine to form a certain
demographic and are similar to a target
group except it refers to how you represent
them, not target them.
3. The representation that we included of a fiancé was inspired by Nicolas Cage in Face Off.
This is because he also has a solid family life with his partner and also his son. This stable
secure-base is corrupted by his promiscuous ways from being with other women. This
connects to our character of the male fiancé of whom also has a secure-base of his new
fiancé/girlfriend. He also ruins this relationship by secretly having an affair with his
fiancé's best friend. The black clothing and secretive, seductive ways bind the two
characters together.
We are representing a social group of adulterers with this character. This links
to the character of Castor Troy as he also cheats on his girlfriend anc comes
across as a villain.
In terms of mise en scene, we took inspiration from the black
clothing that Nicholas Cage wears; we felt it created a sense
of mystery as it gives no personality to the character and
connotes villainous ways. Black is a plain colour which
everyone wears, therefore, indicating no sense of
personality at all.
From the film Face Off, we learned that we must present our
unfaithful fiance as secretive and cruel. We learned to portray him as
two-faced and as carrying out secretive acts behind the scenes. He
ends up hurting everyone he 'cares' about.
The narrative similarities between our character and Castor Troy include the
fact that they both have a secure relationship in place with Castor's
girlfriend and son and with our characters' fiance but still fail to accept this
and live happily; they both cheat and go from woman to woman.
A lot of long shots are used on both of these characters
which forces them to dominate the screen; this
connotes power and authority. The whole body occurs a
lot to emphasize the power these two characters hold
over the women.
4. Our inspiration for our Mistress was from Glenn Close's character Alex
Forrest. She is a psycho of whom desires to kill her lovers family so that
she can have him for herself. This directly connects to the vicious ways of
our own mistress who also utilizes a knife. Our own mistress plans to kill
the unfaithful fiance's wife alike to 'Alex' plotting to kill her lovers family;
the two characters bond by their personality traits.
This character represents a social group of mistresses and adultery. It
also relates the Fatal Attraction as the social group of a mistress is
shown in this too.
In terms of mise en scene, Alex from Fatal Attraction dresses in a
provocative way alike to our own mistress. We decided it would be fitting to
dress our own mistress in tight, revealing clothing to emphasize her
personality traits. the location of a house and domestic environment links
to ours and inspired us to place abnormal action in a normal setting.
From the film Fatal Attraction, we learned that our mistress must be
sweetness and light on the front but deeper she is vicious and seeks for
more. A psycho side comes out in Glenn Close's character alike to our
mistress at the end of our opening when the knife scene occurs and the
front personality is wiped away and displaced by a trait of anger and
aggressiveness.
The narrative similarities between these include to psycho nature of the characters!
Both characters plot to kill someone involved with their secret partner and a knife is
involved with both of them.
In terms of cinematography, a lot of low angles are used on these two intertwined characters to connote a
sense of power and dominance. They are often shown head on to give an innocent sense when they're in their
normal 'alter-ego' and close ups occur to showcase their vicous thought processes. An example of this is in
the conversation in the kitchen of our own thriller whereby the mistress is shown from straight angles
which connote neither power or vulnerability; this causes mystery and forces the audience to wonder what
type of personality she had. This is identical in Fatal Attraction as we wonder what personality she has
before it all comes out at once in the psycho stage.
5. For our inspiration for the fiance thriller opening, we took the bride from kill bill into
account. The fact that her outfit and intentions were to marry link in with the fact that
our female fiance was also intending to marry and was proposed to. Furthermore, the
whole of Kill Bill is based around the revenge of the bride; this connects to the end of our
thriller when the fiance is still alive and the rest of the film would be based on her
revenge.
This character represents a social group of scorned women. This social group
also relates to Kill Bill as the bride is also scorned.
In terms of mise en scene, we decided to use a natural and normal style for
the wife as it shows that the scorned woman is a usual person which fits
into the concept of thrillers containing normal people,
From the film kill bll, we learned to present the 'finace' as vulnerable and
weak. The high angles used were replicated in our own film to force a trait of
weakness onto the scorned woman and her innocent ways are shown through
her kind facial expressions and dialogue used.
The narrative similarities of the two film involve the revenge aspect. The
whole of kill bill is based around the revenge of the wife and at the end of our
opening, the scorned woman wakes up; the rest of the film would also be
based around her revenge. Both characters have been scorned by a man and
both have been almost killed.
In terms of cinematography, high angles are used frequently on these characters and , at
the end of ours, there is an identical shot whereby an aerial is used on the 'dead' body of
the scorned woman. This matches with the screenshots below!
