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.

6. Client research:
Client: IRN BRU – “Scotland's other national drink”
- Early ads contained wrestlers and athletes.
- 2000’s campaigns “dramatized the extraordinary appeal of irn bru”
- one advert was their interpretation of the Christmas cartoon “snowman” which helped draw in American
audiences.
- They also played off a high school musical parody quoting “It’s fizzy, it’s ginger, it’s phenomenal.
- In 2012 IRN BRU used the slogan “Gets you through” To emphasize their advert showing IRN BRU getting people
through tough situations (not very realistic).
IRN BRU tend to use a linear styled narrative through their advertisements although they are not always realistic.
Recently (January 2018) IRN BRU changed the formula due to a sugar tax implemented in the UK. Although it was said
“most people would not be able to tell the difference between the flavor.” fans disagree and have started a “save real IRN
BRU” campaign.
Despite this the sales still held firm and rose by 8% in profit.
7. Client research:
-IRN BRU print ads tend to always have an orange background with a blue sloppy styled font in the writing (Usually
on the right hand side). Alongside this a black and white picture accompanies each ad which is referenced by the
text
-IRN BRU have had some controversy surround them in certain advertisements being called out for bullying and
being insensitive to the transgender community and women who have experienced miscarriages.
8. Client research:
The Christmas advert ( a parody on “snowman” ) used a memorable scene from the film which would appeal to a large
audience that had seen it. The boy was drinking iron brew as they were flying through the air and looked happy after
drinking it multiple times through the ad potentially showing the audience its good taste. The boy would also not share
his IRN BRU with the snow man showing how much he liked it and again convincing the audience of its good taste. To
help appeal to viewers, the advert contained some comedy where the snowman dropped the boy from the sky to take
his IRN BRU as he presumably really wanted it. The comedy helps them appeal to a younger audience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wMs5bUkjO0
One advert for the new formula (2018) had a young lady taking her boyfriend to meet her parents the situation seems
realistic and relatable to couples. The father asks “when are you going to marry my daughter” playing on father stereotypes
for comedic effect (which seem to play a large part of their advertising) the boyfriend exclaims that he doesn’t like him and
that he wants to leave. Just before leaving he says the new slogan “Don’t be a can’t be a can” which played on the C word
to be comedic to the audience however this was not taken very well amongst some people.
With this in mind, IRN BRU have always been known for there controversial, comedic adverts.

9. Market research:
Main competitors: Coco cola and Pepsi + mountain dew, dr pepper and Fanta
Coco cola is the official soft drink of many collegiate football teams around the nation. They also sponsored the cricket
world cup as well as the football league in the UK.
- Sports is a big way of getting there name out there
- Common themes seem to be happiness + fun within consumers.
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPi9nTE70aA
- This advert shows a variety of people Enjoying coke in different situations being at fairs, the beach a park etc. which
can relate to the audience. The advert is also very colorful appealing to the audience. Many of the actors in the
advert appear happy or content which would create a positive atmosphere for the audience. They all exclaim that
there is a cola for everyone.
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSIPL7FIlu4
- In this ad a presumable celebrity and a caterer get stuck in an elevator. The caterer decides to share a cola with the
man and then the following scenes show them having fun and bonding. These themes of fun and happiness would
help set a good mood for the audience which would appeal to them and make coco cola look good to them
10. Market research:
Pepsi use a lot of celebrity endorsements to glorify there commercials and gain them publicity
One popular Pepsi commercial staring Beyoncé, Britney Spears and pink had the 3 women appear as gladiators in an
arena. The 3 come together into the arena after a tense wait and drop their weapons to start singing “we will rock you” in
the middle of the arena showing (empowerment?). A box of Pepsi In the viewing area eventually falls off and the 3 woman
start to drink the Pepsi after their performance which would have entertained the audience.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7jkygJ_QNo
An ad for Pepsi shows off different people such as basketball players, models to relate to the audience and tell them that
Pepsi is right for them. They also take it a stretch further with parts stating things such as “this might be the first Pepsi on
mars.” and “This is the Pepsi that’s back from the future” as a reference to the hit film back to the future. These sections
help to entertain the audience as well as add a little bit of comedic value. This draws them into the product.

11. Market research:
Overall coco cola uses a lot of linear narratives that has aspects that can relate to peoples lives which promote their brand
through common themes of fun, happiness and having a good time.
Similarly, Pepsi have used linear narratives with some relatable content but has also pushed the boundaries with the
realism to create entertainment for the audience to help sell their product. They use many icons such as Kendal Jenner
and Beyoncé to appeal to a larger audience and push their product even further.

14. Idea Generation:
TV Advert:
NEEDS: witty humor(CON-TRO-VER-SY), preferably orange colors, possibly Scottish stereotypes.
1. Drinks IRN BRU and gets super strength. Could be in a job with lots of handy work.
-(workshop) could include lots of orange and blue colors)
2. people in a conversation in a living room. One feels beyond sad and his (friend) offers him an IRN BRU which
makes him feel happier. He becomes animated in his movements and spills IRN BRU on his dog:
- He explodes
- He mutates
- He rockets himself through the living room window into an IRN BRU billboard
3. An Asian girl takes her boyfriend out for a meal at a restaurant. They both talk in (Japanese) voice with subtitles
underneath about how they love their time together. A waitress then hands them an IRN BRU. When the Asian
boyfriend drinks it his voice becomes really deep with a Scottish accent and he starts spouting typical Scottish slang.
The girlfriend is shocked (he could now start spouting racist comments to which the girlfriend has an angry facial
expression or cut out). Last shot is the side of the restaurant with an IRN BRU billboard in the background with a
sunrise/set. The silhouette of the boyfriend can be seen getting tossed out the window with the cans of IRN BRU.
15. Idea Generation:
Use this space to record your idea generation. Whatever method(s) you use, get it all together here. Remember you are
making three different but linked products.
Advergame
1. Similarly styled to super Mario. Start the game small but as you collect IRN BRU you eventually get visibly buffer
(super strength) allowing you to stomp on the enemies. These could be cola / Pepsi styled enemies.
2.The game is set in a trashed restaurant with tables to climb behind and different levels (heights) + ventilation systems
to climb through. The objective is to grab as much IRN BRU as possible to increase your score whilst avoiding the
“girlfriend” otherwise it’s game over. Tables could be hidden behind to hide but she will randomly flip them up to find
you which would be instant game over. Vents would be on either side of the screen to get across from one side of the
level to the other quickly which she cannot reach through.
- Enemy could be defeat able
