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 Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
1. In your books…
Mind map or list as many programmes that you
can think of that are typical to:
BBC 1 Channel 4
2.
3. SECTION B – TV comedy
Section B will test your understanding
of the following media key concepts:
• institutions
• audiences
4. SECTION B – TV comedy
This section is worth 30 marks out of 80. You
will have two questions:
4(a) Discuss in detail how and why [one/two]
comedy programme(s) was scheduled on one
or more channels. (15 marks)
4(b) Show how [one/two] comedy
programmes offer their audiences different

5. In the exam…
You should be prepared to:
• contrast two texts or discuss one text in more
detail using Media Key Concepts
• explain why channels have chosen these texts to
fit their institutional contexts
• explain why channels have scheduled these texts
on certain times and days
• discuss how these texts address their audiences,
the nature of these audiences and the
• pleasures that are offered by these texts.
16. Recap starter…
Look back at your map or list…
• How do the programs link to the branding of the
channel?
• Now identify Comedy programs for both
channels… what does this tell us about the
audience?
BBC 1 Channel 4
20. Contrast
• The question will require you to contrast the types
of programmes, their broadcasters and audiences.
• So you must have knowledge of two types of at
least 2 broadcasters (TV institutions).
• Therefore the comedies you will study must come
from two differently funded channels – one from a
publicly funded & regulated channel e.g. BBC1 and
one more diverse and commercially funded e.g. E4,
BBC3 or Comedy Central.
21. Task
• A broadcasting station has asked you to create
designs for new idents for both their
mainstream channel and it’s ‘younger’
broadcast station.
• They want you to create idents – but not to
stray too far from their institutional image.
• You can choose which broadcaster. Either:
– BBC1 and BBC3
– Channel 4 and E4
22. Homework – Due Friday 19th Jan
Watch two TV comedy programmes. One must be
from one of the mainstream channels. The other
must be from the ‘younger’ channel of the ‘other’
broadcaster.
e.g.:
• BBC1 and E4; or
• Channel 4 and BBC3
You MUST make a note of which channel they are
on, the date (day) and time they are shown.
You also need to analyse 3 comedy scenes from
each show to identify why it was funny.
These will be the case studies you use in the exam
Editor's Notes
These questions will always be the same (the wording may vary slightly).
Understand they are not comparing – they need to address the differences for each institution and comedy show.
The circle – connotations of the symbol? Evoke the global nature and link to original ident on next slide.
Get questions to see if they can identify the diversity or alternative element on the video (hyperlink – click picture). They should notice it caters for a range of ages and genders but not necessarily a vast range of ethnicities/abilities.
Significance of going back to the circle theme before broadcasting one of their most iconic tv programs?
Christmas diversity – what does it tell us now about the diversity of their audience?
Get students to summarise in one sentence what they think of the BBC brand from their idents – link sentence to earlier idents and rebranding.
Significance of the blocks coming together? Significance oif range of settings – global nature – reinforces export programs i.e. Friends/Simpsons etc rather than the actual reach of the broadcast station.
Left logo – reminds us of the logo from the 1990s/early 2000s – Christmas Ident on right – significance of sprouts (not to everyone’s tastes = alternative)
Get questions to see if they can identify the diversity or alternative element on the video (hyperlink – click picture). They should notice it caters for a much wider range of audience groups.
Get students to write this in their books.
Briefly introduce these two channels to show niche (younger) element of the sister channels.
