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.

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.

1. Poster Analysis 1
The film poster above promotes the slasher movie the “Texas Chainsaw 3D”. The film
itself is based on a true story and “Texas Chainsaw 3D” is the most recent interpretation
of the film, which was released in 2013. Other interpretations being: “The Texas Chainsaw
Massacre (1974)” - this is highlighted at the top of the poster whereby it says “In 1974, one
movie changed the face of horror. In 2013, a dark new chapter begins”.
The poster itself follows many conventions of a film poster. The title is the biggest font
within the frame, clearly indicating that that is the title of the movie, allowing the
audience to focus on it and remember it. Smaller fonts including the institutional
information, is placed at the bottom of the frame, out of the way in an undistinguished
place so that the audience can focus on the main details. Such as the release date which
2. is the last piece of text on the poster and is placed at the bottom so it is the last thing the
audience will see and therefore remember. Lastly, the image dominates the frame
allowing the audiences to have some sort of insight into the movie. In this case it is
leatherface, whom the audience will recognise from the original Texas Chainsaw
Massacre. Therefore attracting the audience further to want to see the film.
The image itself dominates the frame, it is a medium long shot of the antagonist,
leatherface, but from a low angle shot. This makes the antagonist automatically look
dominant, proving to the audience from the beginning that leatherface himself is going
to be on a killing spree throughout the movie. Additionally, that this image is from the
victim's point of view and what they are seeing. Creating fear from the audience if it was
them in that situation! The mise-en-scene of the image allows the audience to identify
the movie as a slasher. Through the use of a mask, it is obvious, as this is a very common
convention within slasher films, a masked killer with an unknown identity or motive.
The mask itself is creepy, making the audience scared of the antagonist even more than
they would be if he was unmasked. Furthermore, the costume leatherface is wearing are
dirty, baggy overalls. This is common with antagonists with in horror films and is used
regularly. It is a consistent convention that continues to scare audiences, without them
even realising it. The overalls make leatherface look more masculine, larger and
indicates strength. The main prop within the image, is the chainsaw, as expected from
the title of the film. The chainsaw itself looks old and rusty, this implies that it has been
used before, potentially on previous victims. It takes up a majority of the image,
highlighting its importance within the film and is also used to help intimidate the
audiences as well as increase the fear factor. There is a single spot light of lighting
coming from the left hand of the poster, looking like an available piece of lighting
perhaps coming from a garden light, or a light coming out of a house window. The
lighting allows us to sit a foggy mist, creating the setting of a cold, foggy night whereby
leatherface is lurking around looking for a victim. Due to the background being black, it is
hard to specify the exact location of the image but because of the mist, it is more than
likely that it is set outside.
The title of the film is “Texas Chainsaw 3D” suggesting that the film is going to be about a
massacre (death of many people), which is done through the use of a weapon that is a
chainsaw, which is also evident through the 1974 version and is anchored within the
image. Additionally, it portrays the idea that the location of the film is in Texas which is
the second largest state in America however is covered in grasslands and forests, making
it the perfect location for massacres leaving the victims with no place to hide or escape!
The text itself is the biggest piece of text in the frame, clearly indicating that it is the title
of the film. It is written in red, which can be a connotation for blood, linking back to the
3. idea it is a slasher film which is related to gore. It is presented in an uppercase, serif font.
The use of capital letter creates emphasis on the idea that leatherface is solid and
undefeatable. This could cause fear for the audience, leaving them with no thought of any
kind of happy ending for the victims.
The tagline to this poster is presented at the top of the poster, which is a conventional
location for it to be placed. A tagline is used in order to give the audience a further insight
to the movie, which it successfully does. The tagline is “In 1974, one movie changed the
face of horror. In 2013, a dark new chapter begins”. Indicating that all that was revealed in
1974, was not the truth and more is yet to be revealed. This will intrigue the audiences, as
the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is based on a true story and has built up mystery and
suspense as to what the ‘new chapter’ is. This is further heightening by the idea that it is
written in capital letters (serif font), implying its importance. The tagline is written in
white, on a black background, contrasting the two colours which could link to the
contrast between leatherface and his victims (good v evil).
Institutional information is placed at the bottom of the poster, out of the way so it doesn’t
distract the audience from reading the more important text on the poster such as the title
and tagline. It is also written in a smaller font, further highlight the idea that it is less
important. However, the release date is written in a slightly larger font, grabbing the
audience's attention once again. It is placed at the very bottom of the page, leaving that
the last thing that the audience will see and therefore will stay in their minds.
This film poster successfully promotes “Texas Chainsaw 3D” and successfully entices
them to watch the movie by giving them a clear indication of the narrative without giving
the story line away. In general, this poster was inspirational to me and gave me many
ideas for my own film poster. For instance, the use of a low angle shot in order to make
the antagonist come across increasingly dominant and the use of a weapon to indicating
and give audience different ideas to think of as to how my antagonist is going to kill the
protagonists.
