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.
2. 1: In What Ways Does Your Media Product Use, Develop or Challenge Forms and Conventions of Real Media Products?
3. Masthead- For the masthead of my magazine cover I used an ordinary font from Microsoft Word; ‘Gill Sana Ultra Bold Condensed’. Looking at ‘NME’ magazine, they also use a clear bold font with no background, leaving the text to stand alone. I used this for inspiration for my cover by having clear capitalised text. I kept the colour of my magazine white to make it stand out on my background and to keep it simple like the ‘Q’ in ‘Q Magazine’.
4.
5. Written Content- In my contents page I followed the conventions of a normal magazine by having an editor’s note featured. I used more formal language for this so that it is clear and easy for the reader to follow. I wrote it making sure I included what would be in this month’s edition and finished with ‘until next month!...’ hoping that the audience would buy it again. On my double page spread I was much more informal throughout the interview and wrote in the language of the stars being questioned. I did this so that my artists can be seen for who they really are and appeal to my youth audience. I did an introduction for my audience so they knew what was to be expected and to set the scene, making them feel part of it. This is the editors note from the Q Magazine edition I used when analysing a music magazine.
6.
7. For my contents page, I kept it simple with only an image that again linked to the main story from the front cover, which is the months featured article. The only other images were the two free posters to draw the audience in. All the information I included where in set out boxes next to each other which gave it a clear indication of what was what as I headed both boxes with ‘Interviews’ and ‘Inside Monthly’.
8.
9. As you can see from the images above, my magazine is similar to that of social groups on the covers of magazines from ‘Q’. They share the same facial expressions to that of my models and especially from the Russell Brand edition of ‘Q’, the way he is postured and the way he is holding his hand is similar to that of Jack on my front cover. The lighting when you look more closely at my magazine on the blog, you will see that the lighting is brighter around the main artists and the background is darker, much like this ‘Q’ cover whereby they seem to be brighter like they also have a spot light on them. Overall these elements form a type of RnB, largely attitude based social group. They represent a type of different social group in their actions and faces rather than standing completely normal and out of character, they are very much in character.
10. 3: What Kind of Media Institution Might Distribute Your Media Product and Why?
11. I think that a media institution that might distribute my magazine would be a company such as ‘Bauer Media’. This is because they tend to aim their audience around similar ages to what mine is targeted at. They own magazine’s such as ‘Q’ and ‘Kerrang’ and the radio station ‘Kiss’ therefore are well known by the world of media and these magazines are for the younger audiences; the youth much like mine. They have experience in running a brand with over 80 influential brand names covering a diverse range of interests and engaging 19 million consumers every week, so therefore would be able to successfully get ‘Playlist’ into the media world. Another distributer that would be useful is Holborn Publishing Group (IPC) because they had a magazine known as ‘Number 1’ that was based on more pop music like my magazine genre which includes pop along with RnB and was aimed at 13-19 year olds much like my target audience of the teenager stage.
12. 4: Who Would Be The Audience For Your Media Product?
13. The headphones she is wearing imply she is a big music fan. My readers as you can see from the image are teenagers who are also students. Their types of music include pop and RnB and they tend to listen to bands such as N-Dubz, Tinie Tempah, Drake, Lady Gaga and more. The bold colouring of the font on the front would attract them and then inside the mix of bold colours being purple and red with white stand out. They tend to buy CD’s and posters of their preferred artists and would attend a few concerts a year. With my magazine there are interviews which they would look for in a magazine and free posters included that they would normally buy.
15. Front Cover Clear, bold font with the play button for the ‘a’ gives it an effective catch Snappy catch line Lighting brighter for main artists and brick wall shows the genre more The characters are showing more attitude, appeals to target audience Bold colouring, stands out on page Tells us who else in the magazine, which are popular artists at the moment Snappy catchline
16. Contents The competition may attract my audience especially as the prize is to win a day with an artist Another image of my primary lead giving away a little more on the band The monthly features give the audience lots of things to look at and do, being youth’s they like to be entertained Special features such as interviews with chart artists makes the reader want to find out more A poster for both male and female audience plus they are free
17. Double Page Action images so my audience isn’t bored by posed images but may relate to the fun side of the band Interview written exactly how the band spoke to the interviewer, meaning my youths can understand them easily Quotes from the band stand out so can read these first Gives readers a chance to know general things they want to know about the band they might relate to
20. From the boys, maybe chose a different colour rather than purple and arranged the double page better so that the images were more dominant than the text. Text made less dominant Aligned text down side
21. 6: What Have You Learnt About Technologies From The Process of Constructing This Product?
22. This is the laptop that constructed alot of my magazine on. The main thing I used was the computer’s at school but all the planning, gaining my pictures and evaluating was done on this. I used my Epson camera to gather all my images on, which some I then went on to edit using the website Picnik. I used a memory stick that helped me transfer the work I had completed to do with my magazine at home’ like my images to transfer to the school computer to put into my magazine.
23. My magazine was completed using Macromedia Fireworks. Here I was able to add on effects, shapes and form my magazine. Slideshare was used to upload my PowerPoint slides I had made onto which then allowed me to put them onto my blog. Picnik is the website I used to edit pictures for my magazine. I used it mainly for making images brighter and clearer.
24. This is Windows Live Movie Maker, where I edited my videos. Blogger is what everything I have done with my media coursework is placed on. All my planning and presenting was done on here. From the technologies I have shown above, I have learnt alot about many of them. Before starting media I didn’t know what Blogger or Slideshare was and I wasn't sure about how to use Fireworks or Movie Maker. I now feel I can use this again in the future without any problems which may help with a future career path.
25. 7:Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task, What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To Full Product?
26. By looking at both of these, I have learnt alot about using the technology of Fireworks and editing of pictures. For example my music magazine image has a brighter focus on the artists whereas they are much darker in my school magazine. I have spent more time looking at real magazine and doing research for my music magazine; whereby there is an issue number, barcode and price.
27. You can see how much I have learnt from the difference in these contents pages. I have made my music magazine much more complex and especially in the images I have learnt how to use the tool to quickly cut around things. For example the background has been taken away from the band in my music magazine but the images in my school magazine still have their backgrounds which are irrelevant. In both the contents and front cover I have learnt how to get a better shadow and glow to make a greater effect and they have much more complexity unlike the school magazine that I did at the start of my media course which is more simply and plain.
