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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Course Description
This course allows students to participate in two performance components as either a performer
or a designer (lighting, sound, set or costume). One of these is a performance from a text, the
other a devised performance based on and influenced by their research into the work of others.
Alongside this comes the opportunity to develop high standards of academic theatrical writing
with two written exam papers.
What you will learn in Year 12 What you will learn in Year 13
Unit 1 – Practitioners in practice
September – May
120 marks | 40% | non exam assessment
Component group 1: Practitioners in practice
Students explore practically the work of theatre
practitioners and use the skills gained to
explore text and create devised theatre. They
are required to practically explore two
practitioners and an extract from a
performance text, and perform a devised piece
of drama or theatre for an audience.
This unit is built up and assessed via a final
devised performance, a research report based
on the work of the chosen practitioners and a
portfolio that documents the devising process.
Unit 2 – Analysing Performance
May- December
60 marks | 20% | 2hr 15 minutes
Component 3: Analysing performance
Students explore practically two performance
texts on a chosen theme, and analyse and
evaluate live theatre.
There is one component with two sections:
•Section A: students study two different
performing texts on a given theme and develop
knowledge and understanding of how extracts
can be rehearsed and interpreted in
performance.
The texts are as follows:
The Black Watch

•Section B: students analyse and evaluate a live
theatre performance in preparation for their
written examination paper 1.
This is a written paper assessed externally by
OCR.
Unit 3 - Exploring and performing texts
7th September- April
60 marks | 20% | non exam assessment
Component 2: Exploring and performing texts
Students explore one performance text in its
entirety and perform part of the text, applying
the relevant skills to communicate the meaning
in a performance text to an audience.
Students continue in the same role as for
component group 1:
•For performers: Performing live theatre (21)
•For designers: Designing for live theatre (31).
This is assessed externally by a visiting
examiner from the OCR examinations board.
Unit 4 - Deconstructing texts for performance
December- May
60 marks | 20% | 1hr 45minutes
Component 4: Deconstructing texts for
performance
Students will interpret and explore practically a

audience. This runs alongside the unit;
‘Exploring and performing texts.’

•Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet
Street – Patrick Quentin/Stephen Sondheim
(45)
The set texts will be reviewed after three years
and may be subject to change. If a text is to be

chosen within the currents place.
This is a written assessment assessed externally
by OCR.
