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.

4. Main Clause…
• It is the clause which doesn’t depend on some
other clause for its meaning rather it conveys
meaning independently.
• It is also known as independent clause.
• E.g.
I am sitting on a chair
↓ ↓ ↓
Sub Verb Predicate
5. Sub-Ordinate clause..
• It depends on the main clause for conveying
its meaning
• E.g.
She felt sorry for her aunt when she reads the letter
↓ ↓
main clause sub-ordinate clause
6. Continue…
• Sub-Ordinate clause performs the same
functions in the sentence as that of a phrase.
• But the difference between phrase and clause
is phrase doesn’t carry a finite verb whereas a
sub-ordinate clause has a subject and as
predicate of its own.
• Then type of clause is identified by the
functions it performs, its link to the word in
another clause which it qualifies.
8. Adjective clause…
• “A group of words having a subject and
predicate which qualifies/modifies a noun or
pronoun”
• E.g.
Books, that have illustrations, sell well at
Christmas.
9. Analysis…
• Let take the sentence…
Books, that have illustrations, sell well on
Christmas.
Main Clause → Books sell well at Christmas.
Sub-ordinate Clause → that have illustrations.
10. Continue..
• A direct object word which, the sub-ordinate
clause modifies/qualifies is a noun, hence
sub-ordinate clause is an adjective clause.
• Example:
I made a dress that I intended to wear .
• In above example “dress” is a direct object
which is being qualified by adjective clause.
11. Continue…
(Qualifies an indirect word in main clause)
• Indirect Object – word is a noun, pronoun or
noun equivalent hence, the sub-ordinate clause it
is adjective clause.
• Example
I sent my sister, who went abroad, some of my
favourite records.
In this sentence “I” → Sub, “sent” → Verb
“Sister”→ Indirect object, “Records”→ direct obj.
“who sent abroad” → adjective clause, that
qualifies indirect obj. “sister”
12. Continue…
(Relation to Antecedent)
• Antecedent is a noun, pronoun or noun equivalent in
another clause which is qualified by the sub-ordinate
objective clause.
• It is linked with sub-ordinate clause by linking words
that occur at the beginning of sub-ordinate clause.
• Example:
The house, that is too large, is a burden.
The house, that is too large, is a burden.
↓ ↓ ↓
Antecedent (linking sub-ordinate clause.
sentence)
13. Introducing / Linking Words…

finite verb, which glorifies a verb, an adjective

modifies the verb.
• Example:
The ferry sailed when the tide was high.
↓ ↓
verb Adverb clause
• In above example, the sub-ordinate clause linked
with the action verb “sailed” and shows when did
the ferry sails? Hence it is an adverb clause.
16. Modifying Adjective….
• In this function the adverb clause qualifies and
adjective.
• Example:
The profits were as large as we hopefully
supposed them.
• In this example, the adverb clause is qualifying
adjective by telling the degree of largeness of
profits.
• “As we hopefully supposed them” is adverb
clause (qualifying adjective)
17. Modifying an Adverb…
• In this function it modifies adverb.
He drinks greedily as he eats.
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
Sub verb adverb (qualifying adverb
hence adverb clause)
18. To represent expceptions…
• An adverb clause is used to represent
exceptions / opposite circumstances to that of
what are demonstrated in another clause.
• Example:
Though I am an optimist, yet it expects to
loose this game .
• In this example yet to loose this game is
exception/opposite.
19. Classification of Adverb clause…
1) Adverb clause of time introduces by since,

23. As an object..
• “A group of words that has a finite verb and it
is used in place of an object as a noun is called

cohesion and coherence to a text.
• They show diversity in grammar and should be
handled with great care.
