Hadrian and Constantine were among the best Roman emperors. Hadrian rebuilt structures like the Pantheon and constructed Hadrian's Wall. Constantine reunited the empire under one ruler and founded Constantinople. Commodus, Nero, and Caligula were among the worst. Commodus was a megalomaniac who took no interest in governing. Nero was also a megalomaniac obsessed with the arts who was blamed for the great fire of Rome. Caligula thought he was a god and was vain, cruel, and possibly mentally ill.

Change From Republic To Empire
The document summarizes the transition from Roman Republic to Roman Empire. There was growing disparity between the rich and poor, leading to reforms attempted by the Gracchus brothers which failed. This led to civil war between Marius and Sulla, and the establishment of the First Triumvirate between Pompey, Crassus, and Julius Caesar. Caesar's victories in Gaul increased his power and fame, causing Pompey to oppose him and lead to more civil war. Caesar became dictator for life but was assassinated. This threw Rome into further chaos and civil war until Octavian emerged as the first emperor, taking the name Augustus and establishing the Pax Romana.
6.2 the roman empire
Rome had become very prosperous as the sole power in the Mediterranean, but wealth was unequally distributed. The wealthy landowners benefited greatly from slave labor and conquered territories, while many small farmers lost their lands and livelihoods. The Gracchus brothers tried to implement reforms to help the poor, but were opposed by wealthy senators and murdered. This strife between rich and poor led to civil war, with discontented soldiers supporting their generals over Rome. After Caesar's assassination, Octavian defeated Marc Antony and Cleopatra, becoming Rome's first emperor and bringing a period of peace and prosperity known as the Pax Romana.
Rise and Fall of Roman Empire
Julius Caesar was a military leader who became a great leader of the Roman Republic. However, he was assassinated by a group of plotters led by Brutus and Cassius. His last words were "Et tu, Brute?"

The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire
The document provides an overview of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire from 509 BCE to 476 CE. It discusses the transition from Roman Republic to Roman Empire under Augustus, key emperors like Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, Vespasian, and Hadrian, as well as the division of the empire into eastern and western halves under Diocletian. It also examines factors that contributed to the decline of the western empire, including invasions by barbarian tribes and the removal of the capital to Constantinople, while the eastern empire continued on as the Byzantine Empire until 1453.
The Roman Republic Briefly
The Roman Republic was established in 509 BCE after the overthrow of the Etruscan monarchy, organizing the government into a combination of aristocracy, oligarchy, and democracy with citizens electing consuls and a senate to advise them. Society was divided between the wealthy patrician class and the plebeian majority, who engaged in occasional strikes to gain more political power. The republican government structure consisted of two annually elected consuls, the senate which controlled finances and foreign policy, and plebeian tribunes who could veto consular decisions and advocate for the common people.
Ancient Rome
The document provides background on the founding and early history of Rome. It describes how Romulus and Remus founded Rome after being raised by a she-wolf. Over time Rome became a large, prosperous city under Etruscan kings. The Romans then overthrew the Etruscans and established a republic with elected leaders. Rome expanded across Italy and the Mediterranean, fighting three Punic Wars against Carthage to gain dominance of the region.
Fall of Rome
The Roman Empire fell due to a combination of political, economic, and social factors that weakened it over time. Politically, ineffective emperors and constant power struggles led to a loss of civic duty and trust in leadership. Externally, invasions by Germanic tribes and the Huns drained Rome's resources. The Plague killed many citizens, reducing the number of soldiers and farmers. This exacerbated economic troubles like inflation. As the economy declined, it became difficult for Rome to defend its vast territory and pay mercenary troops. Agricultural problems from lost land and overworked soil worsened the economic issues. Christianity also contributed to the loss of traditional Roman values and identity. The Western Empire finally collapsed in the 5th
Rome Republic to Empire
The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Roman Republic and the establishment of the Roman Empire. It discusses how Rome defeated Carthage in the Punic Wars and began expanding its territory and wealth across the Mediterranean. This led to problems as generals became more powerful than politicians in the Senate, resulting in civil wars. Julius Caesar took advantage of this chaos and was named dictator, but was later assassinated, leading to another civil war won by Octavian, who became the first emperor, Augustus. Under Augustus, Rome entered the Pax Romana, a 207-year period of peace and prosperity during which the empire reached its height before declining.
Rome Part 2
The Roman Republic collapsed due to economic turmoil and military upheaval. Julius Caesar took control of Rome through his military prowess but was assassinated in 44 BC. This led to civil war between Caesar's supporters and those who assassinated him. Eventually Octavian defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra, uniting Rome under his rule as Augustus Caesar and ending the Roman Republic, establishing the Roman Empire.

The golden age
Spain unified in 1469 through the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, laying the foundations for its conquests and Golden Age. In the 1500s, Spain began extracting gold from the New World, established the Spanish Inquisition, and defeated the Ottoman navy at Lepanto. The Spanish Golden Age of theater then began in the late 1500s, sparked by playwrights like Lope de Vega and Cervantes, before declining in the 1600s due to wars and the death of key figures like Cervantes and Calderon de la Barca.
Roman Republic Guided Notes
The Roman Republic began after Rome drove out the Etruscans. It established a system of government with citizens having certain rights. The leaders were called representatives who served in the governing body known as the Senate, which was initially comprised solely of patricians. As Rome grew, the plebeians demanded more rights and protections against the power of the patricians. The Republic fought three Punic Wars over 120 years against the city-state of Carthage, eventually defeating them. Wealth poured into Rome but also increased inequality, weakening the Republic. Julius Caesar's conquests and accumulation of power threatened the patricians and he was assassinated, effectively ending the 500 year old Roman Republic.
Philippians chapter 2
Paul urges the Philippians to have humility and unity through the example of Christ. He recounts how Christ, though divine, humbled himself by becoming human and dying on the cross. Paul then gives examples of others exemplifying humility: Timothy serves others above himself; Epaphroditus risked his life to serve the Philippians and Paul. Paul wishes to send Timothy and Epaphroditus back to the Philippians to further encourage humility and unity.
