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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A.Quality control of Drugs of
Natural Origin:
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
3. DRUG EVALUATION
• Means
confirmation of its identity and
determination of its quality and purity and
detection of nature of adulteration.
• It is necessary b’coz:
1) Geographical and Biochemical variation in the
drug
2) Deterioration due to treatment and storage
3) Substitution and adulteration, as a result of
carelessness, ignorance or fraud.
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
4. Adulteration
• The term 'adulteration' or debasement of an
article covers a number of conditions, which
may be deliberate or accidental. Usually in
crude drugs, this practice includes
substitution of the original crude drugs
partially or fully with other substances which
is either free from or inferior in therapeutic
and chemical properties.
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
5. EXAMPLES OF
ADULTERATION
- Pieces of limestone are
found in asafoetida
- Mineral oil in coconut
oil
- Powdered bark is
frequently found to be
adulterated with brick
powder L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
6. EFFECT OF USING DRUGS WITHOUT QC
• It may not possess the therapeutically active
constituents
• It even may be having some toxic compounds
that may not only affect the efficacy of the
finished product but also cause deleterious
effect on human health.
• Reliability of the finished product is at
national and international level is affected
and betraying the faith of people on the
Indian System of Medicine.

7. Quality Control / Standardization
of Crude drugs
General techniques:
1) Morphological and Organoleptic evaluation
2) Microscopic evaluation
3) Chemical evaluation
4) Physical evaluation
5) Biological evaluation
Evaluation of crude drug (entire form or
powdered form) to confirm its identity and
ensure its quality and purity
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
9. 1) Morphological OR Organoleptic Evaluation
• The study of form/external characters of
crude drug is called MORPHOLOGY.
• Refers to evaluation of a drug by colour, odor,
taste, size, shape and special features like
touch, texture etc.
• It’s a technique of qualitative evaluation
based on the study of morphological and
sensory profiles of whole drugs.
• Organoleptic evaluation means conclusions
drawn from studies resulted due to impressions
on organs of senses.
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
10. E.g. Crude drug : e.g. Diagnostic characters
1. Entire form- organized or unorganized:
qualitative evaluation by shape and
organoleptic characters
E.g.
- Disc-shaped structure of Nux-vomica seed
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
11. - Twisted-shape of
rauwolfia root
(Sarpagandha)
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
-Compound quills of
Ceylon Cinnamon bark
-Conical shape of
Aconite root
12. - Ovoid tears of gum
Acacia
- Ribbon-shape of
Tragacanth gum
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
13. E.g. Diagnostic characters:
Organoleptic characters
- Sweet taste of Liquorice root
- Pungent taste of capsicum
- Brick-red color of bark drugs (cinnamon,
cinchona)
- Aromatic odor of Umbelliferous fruits
(Fennel, Coriander)
- Odor and taste of spice-drugs: asafoetida,
cardamom, black pepper, cumin, etc.
2. Powdered form- organized or unorganized:
qualitative evaluation by specific organoleptic
characters only
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
14. 2) Microscopic Evaluation
• Allows more detailed examination of a drug
under a microscope
• Can be used to identify the organized drugs by
their known histological characters
• Mostly used for qualitative evaluation of
organized crude drugs in entire and powdered
forms
• Histological studies are made from very thin
sections of drug (entire forms) or powder
slides (powdered forms)
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
15. • The characteristics /types of cells and tissues
and their arrangement (lignified tissues like
stone cells, trichomes, stomata, fibres)
• The characteristics /types of cell contents
(starch grains, calcium oxalate crystals)
• Microscopic evaluation does not apply
to unorganized drugs, unless they are
adulterated with some organized
drugs.
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
16. e.g. Diagnostic microscopical characters:
For Organized drug (entire and powder
both)
- Lignified trichomes in nux-vomica
- Warty trichomes of senna
- Sessile Glandular trichome of mint
- Powdered cloves do not contain
sclereids/Stone cells but they are
present in powdered clove stalks
- Powdered clove fruits show presence of
starch, while it is absent in clove bud.
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
21. Detailed study of some microscopical
characteristics:
1. Stomata- Definition, Types, Examples, role
in drug evaluation
2. Trichomes- Definition, Types, Examples, role
in drug evaluation
3. Plant tissues- Types, characteristics and
functions
4. Cell content- Definition, Types, Examples,
role in drug evaluation
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
22. • Quantitative microscopy: Involves
measurements (counting and linear measurements).
• Various parameters studied are (for both entire and
powdered organized drugs):
- Leaf constants (Stomatal number and index,
Palisade ratio, Vein-islet number, Vein termination
number): e.g. Senna varieties are distinguished by
differing stomatal number and palisade ratio.
- Size and number of starch grains – E.g. Ginger
- Number of sclerenchymatous cells per square mm
of cardamom is useful for detecting different
varieties of cardamom seed.
- Length of fibers – E.g. Cinnamon, Cinchona.
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
23. 3. CHEMICAL EVALUATION
• Comprises of different chemical tests
(qualitative) and chemical assays
(quantitative).
• The qualitative chemical tests (preliminary
phytochemical screening) are useful for
identification of drugs and for detection of
adulteration.
• The purity of crude drug is ascertained by
quantitative estimation of active chemical
constituents present in them.
• Useful in determining single active
constituent or the group of related
constituents present in the same drug.
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
24. Assay Methods:
Chromatographic Techniques
– Thin layer chromatography (TLC)
– High performance Thin layer
chromatography (HPTLC)
– Gas liquid chromatography (GLC)
– High performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC)
– Column chromatography
– Gel permeation chromatography
– Affinity chromatography

27. 5. BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION
• When the estimation of potency of crude
drug or its preparation is done by means of
its effect on living organisms like bacteria,
fungal growth or animal tissue or entire
animal, it is known as BIOASSAY.
L. M. COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
This method is generally
called for, when
standardization is not
adequately done by chemical
or physical means and also
for confirmity of therapeutic
activity of raw material.
