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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Robert Capa
Robert Capa was an American war photographer born to Jewish parents in Budapest 1913. Robert studied political
science in Berlin but was unfortunately driven away from the country due to the looming threat of the Nazi regime. He
in fact hated war but wanted to show the world how harrowing and brutal it can be by capturing the moments in war.
He gained his fame from a widely known spread of twenty six photographs taken during the Spanish Civil War. Capa’s
photos of the war were heavily featured in media around the world, more specifically a photo of a loyalist soldier falling
after taking a bullet wound. This photo earned Robert his fame and reputation while also becoming a symbol of the
haunting effects of war. Later on in 1946, Robert was sworn in as a United States citizen and joined a couple other
photographers by the names of Henri Cartier-Bresson and David Seymour. Together, they formed the first ever
cooperative agency of free-lance photographers.
Most of Capa’s work was done guiding younger, less experienced photographers and selling their work from this
moment until 1954 during which he volunteered to photograph the French Indochina war and was unfortunately killed
after stepping on a landmine.
Famous Quotes:
“For a war correspondent to miss an invasion is like refusing a date with Lana Turner”
“It's not always easy to stand aside and be unable to do anything except record the sufferings around one.”
“I hope to stay unemployed as a war photographer till the end of my life.”
The first quote, to me, highlights Capa’s passion and drive for his photography projects. Obviously, a date with said
woman would have been impossible to turn down and therefore he feels the same temptation with his photography
outings. The second quote further proves his hatred for war as it details how he feels about being unable to help any
soldiers wounded or dying from battle. It also outlines the risk he put his-self through by mere choice – this clearly tells
us that Robert was a very brave man. The last quote, much like the first, outlines Robert’s passion for his dangerous
photography and getting the message out to the world that war is a hell on Earth. It also tells us as the audience how
free he may have felt, traveling around the world to see so many events and meet so many different people.

4. Mario Testino
Mario Testino is a fashion photographer born in Lima, Peru in 1954. He moved to London in 1976 where he became an
apprentice at the studios of Paul Nugent and John Vickers. Mario was majorly inspired by the way photography masters
documented the society in their time. He stated that he tried to emulate the English (more notably the Mitford sisters,
Stephen Tennant and Cecil Beaton) in his work and soon enough got a commission to photograph a girl’s haircut for
British Vogue. Mario also tried to recreate his youth in pictures and eventually saw his work evolving.
Mario’s photo’s aim is usually to show the human side to objects and people captured in a moment – often featuring
extremely ‘alive’ subjects with an openness and intimacy with them. Mario’s career managed to up itself even more
when he was personally chosen by Princess Diana of Wales to conduct a photoshoot for Vanity Fair in 1997. Thanks to
this, more royals from across Europe heard about his skills and came to him for photoshoots.
Testino’s work is available to view in museums around Europe and America alike – not just photography but also
painting and sculptures.
Not only has Mario worked with fasion photography and art, but he has also captured the spirit and life of urban areas,
cities in the nihgttime and even private soirees. He was dubbed the "John Singer Sargentof our times" by one Terrence
Pepper who was working as a photography curator at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Mario has photographed
many royals too, including The Prince of Wales, The Dutchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry and the Kind and Queen of
the Netherlands.
I then started photographing the royal families of Europe extensively…this brings out my love for tradition, for a way of
showing family and the longevity of people”
"I've been criticised for pretty, smiley photographs, but at least someone is happy! In my mind, I am always giving the
image to the sitter."

6. Daniel Ernst
Daniel is a 29 year old freelance photographer from Frankfurt, Germany who works as a photo-creator
& story teller, projecting what he sees to us through photos. His passion is heavily based upon his love
for nature, the outdoors, lifestyle and adventure. Daniel's favourite places to go are the colder regions
of the north or the mountains, where he documents his daily life. He is completely self taught in his
profession and has been in the business for 5 years and edits his images in software to get the best out
of them.
Daniel regularly uses Instagram to share his experiences and photos with all of his fans. He currently has
around 602k followers, safely placing him into the category of "social media influencer". He began his
serious career in photography in 2014 while in New Zealand, he tells interviewers that he gained his
extra motivation and need for more knowledge in photography from the nature and landscapes around
him. His camera choice is not important to him as he believes anything is good enough, it's all in the
circumstances of the shot. Most of his work is made up of clients wanting special commissions and
requests for influencer work on his Instagram page.
To grow to where he is today, Daniel has used his Instagram and events that he has shot for to advertise
his work to the public and potential clients. Not only are his photos of landscapes and nature for
aesthetic reasons, but they are also there to raise awareness of the situation of the environment on
Earth. A lot of his other work is simply ever changing due to him needing to adopt and react to the
market, especially in the fast industry of social media.
"My best advice for them is not to get too much influenced by the stuff you see on social media. This
can destroy one’s own creativity"
"be patient, that is probably my second best advice."
