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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. In 600 BC Greece was divided into city-states, separate nations centered in major cities and regions. The most populated city-state was Athens, where at least 150,000 people lived. It was here, in Athens, that the play Rites of Dionysus evolved into what we know as theatre. Between 600 and 200 BC, the Athenians would create theatre, something that would live on for at least another two millennia. Time Period

It could be the arrogance of not accepting ones destiny, the arrogance of assuming the right to kill, or the arrogance of assuming the right to seek vengeance. Whatever the root cause, the protagonist's last collision with fate, reality, or society would almost always be inevitable and irrevocable. Tragedy (cont.)
8. Tragedy was not the only product of Athens' flourishing theatre culture; comedy as well thrived considering that the Greeks produced many lasting comedies. Sadly though, historical development of comedy was not as well documented as that of tragedy. Comedy developed along the lines as tragedy did, becoming more about the common people and less concerned with its religious origins. By 317 BC, a new form had evolved that resembled modern farces. (Farces: A play consisting of such things as an unrealistic plot and over exaggerated characters.) Comedy
9. Greek culture had an oral tradition where bards would visit kingdom to kingdom and orally recite stories of past heroes. Eventually, reciters were accompanied by a chorus. This chorus then evolved into a chorus plus an actor, then two actors, and then three. Over time it took its then present day shape. Evolution From Previous Era

20. Zeus gave Prometheus, a minor god, a major job—creating humans; while his brother, Epimetheus, created other forms of life. Prometheus finished his work but took too long. By the time he finished, Epimetheus had already passed out most of the gifts that Zeus had given them both to share with all living beings. Animals ended up having more physical skills, like running, and adaptation skills, such as fur coats to keep them warm whilst humans were shivering in their skin. Preliminary Action
21. Kratus and Bia carry Prometheus to a mountain in the Caucasus. Hephaestus follows them. Kratus explains that this is where Prometheus must be chained to a rock on the orders of Zeus in punishment for giving fire to human beings. Prometheus is expected to learn to like Zeus and stop liking humans. Hephaestus, whose job it is to bind Prometheus to the mountain, groans that he finds it difficult to do this to a fellow god. He explains, however, that he has no choice but to obey Zeus. Prometheus will remain there for a long time; his liberator has not yet been born. Exposition
22. As a god, Prometheus was immortal. He could not die, but he could suffer great pain, and he did. Every day an eagle flew down from the sky, tore out Prometheus's liver, and ate it. Every night the liver grew back, ready for the eagle's return in the morning for another meal. This continued for hundreds of years. Initial Action
23. Oceanus flies in and tells Prometheus that he himself is going to Zeus to have Prometheus freed. Prometheus responds that talking to Zeus would be useless and Oceanus should not put himself in danger by getting involved. Oceanus argues that words are needed for healing, but Prometheus counters that the medicine must be applied at the proper time. Convinced by Prometheus's logical argument and refusal of his help, Oceanus departs. Rising Action
24. The Chorus sings that the entire old world mourns for Prometheus and his brothers who also suffer at the hands of Zeus, especially Atlas who, because of Zeus, is now forced to hold up the world. Prometheus summarizes everything he has done for humanity. He insists that all human arts come from him. Rising Action (cont.)
25. Prometheus reveals that Zeus will one day choose a mate whose son will depose of his father and only Prometheus can help Zeus prevent this. One day someone will free him. How Zeus will cure and impregnate a woman with a gentle touch of his hand. Descendants, and who will become kings of the city Argos. Rising Action (cont.)
26. Prometheus shouts out that Zeus's own son will topple him. Zeus's messenger, Hermes, enters and orders Prometheus to reveal the identity of this son's mother. Prometheus mocks Hermes and says that he will tell him nothing. Hermes warns that if Prometheus does not yield, a storm will send him to Tartarus, and that then he will emerge only to have an eagle eat his liver every day, and this will not end until a god agrees to die for him. Climax
27. The Chorus advises Prometheus to yield, but he shows no fear of his destiny. Hermes orders the Oceanids away, but they reply that to betray a friend is the worst crime of all and vow to stay with Prometheus; just as he helped human beings who cannot save him from Zeus, they stay with Prometheus even though he is trapped and can do nothing for them. As the earth begins to shake and thunder gathers around him, Prometheus calls on the elements to witness his suffering. Falling Action
