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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

INT. MUSIC PRACTICE STUDIO - DAY
Asian A level student [SWEETAH] nervously stands leaning
against the wall of a practice room, holding a jumble of
papers. The door to the room is partially open. YOUNG ADULT
MALE BAND MEMBERS are tinkering around with their
instruments.
Sweetah, engrossingly listens with enthusiasm to the
unidentified miss-mash of music. Suddenly without warning, a
YOUNG ADULT MALE [LOGAN] bursts through the door, making
Sweetah jump. The unexpected encounter forces Sweetah to
drop her papers into a scattered pile on the floor.
Embarrassed, Sweetah nervously smiles at Logan. Logan slowly
runs his eyes down Sweetah’s body.
SWEETAH
Oh, I’m sorry Logan.
Logan bends down to gather up the loose scattered paper,
staring at Sweetah’s ankles.
LOGAN
Ah Sweetah, don’t be.
Logan slowly gets back up and hands the pile of paper to a
nervous Sweetah.
SWEETAH
Er thanks. Er have you had a chance
to view the song I wrote?
Logan tenderly smiles at her.
LOGAN
Sort of, I’m off for a smoke, join
me.
Logan heads in the direction of the main door and Sweetah
eagerly follows him.
EXT. MUSIC PRACTICE STUDIO COURTYARD - DAY
Logan walks briskly towards the bench and then immediately
halts. He stares at Sweetah who is now in front of him.
Continuing to admiringly stare at her, he draws a lighter
and a packet of cigarettes out from his jacket pocket. Takes
one cigarette out of the packet and holds it to his mouth,
whilst replacing the packet back into his pocket. He then
lights the cigarette and draws in his first puff. Smoothly,
he blows the smoke out and offers the cigarette to Sweetah.
(CONTINUED)
3. CONTINUED: 2.
She looks intensively at the cigarette and then hesitantly
back to Logan.
SWEETAH
I don’t smoke, thanks.
LOGAN
(Suggestively)
Try it, you may even enjoy it.
Gingerly Sweetah holds out her hand to receive the
cigarette. She takes it to her mouth and tries to draw it
in, but the smoke is choking and she coughs with
embarrassment and offers the cigarette back. She observes
Logan’s slight grin as he retrieves it back. With his other
hand he gently touches her arm, in an attempt to console
her.
SWEETAH
(Confidently)
My song, what do you think?
LOGAN
(Politely)
Yeah, OK, needs some work though
You free now?
SWEETAH
Yes, but we can’t go back to mine,
my dad wouldn’t understand.
Logan eyes Sweetah up and down and gestures her to follow
him, as he stumps out the cigarette with his foot.
LOGAN
I know somewhere, come.
Sweetah smiles and the two set off.
EXT. DESERTED ALLEYWAY - DAY
Walking down some stairs leading to a deserted alleyway,
Logan stops and discreetly removes a small, unidentified
package out from his jacket pocket. He takes one of the
pills out of the package and offers the other to Sweetah.
Taken by surprise, Sweetah takes a huge breath of fresh air.
She steps back and shakes her head, whilst looking deep into
Logan’s widening eyes as he alluringly licks his lips. She
becomes emotionless.

Logan re-offers the pill to her with an intimidating and
hard stare, almost suggesting it is not an option to refuse.
She slowly and hesitantly obliges and swallows it whole in
an attempt to get rid of it immediately.
EXT. CAR YARD GATES = DAY
The couple happily walk along a rough alley road, until
Logan halts at a large purple gate. He furiously and
violently rattles the door.
SWEETAH
Hey, what’s the problem?
LOGAN
It’s locked, it’s never locked.
SWEETAH
Who’s lockup is it?
LOGAN
Just a mates.
Seeing his anguish Sweetah removes a hairpin from her hair
and twiddles it into the padlock.
Delightedly, Sweetah looks directly at Logan as the padlock
comes away in her hand.
Logan opens the door to the yard and beckons Sweetah to
follow him.
Hesitantly. Sweetah delicately places her hand in Logan’s
and allows him to lead her into the yard.

Logan leads Sweetah through a maze of classic cars. She
cautiously observes as he eagerly attempts to open varies
cars. She sighs with relief as they are all locked.
Anxiously, Logan tries to open the back door of a old ford
zodiac. It freely opens and he sighs with relief.

into the car, urging her to join him. For a brief moment,
she hesitates, but complies with his request.

floor, and the door to his yard slightly ajar. Furiously, he
enters his yard.
INT. CAR YARD - DAY
The owner scornfully, scans his yard, looking for signs of
disturbance. He sighs with relief and then rushes to his
CCTV Station.

noticing that nothing has been disturbed. He then closes the
door and begins to make a cup of tea in the kitchen area.
INT. CAR SEAT - DAY
Logan becomes more sexually persistent towards Sweetah, as
he starts to run his hands up the outside of her right
thigh. A stressed Sweetah, pushes him off of her and emerges
to a sitting position.
SWEETAH
Have you got a...
LOGAN
No, do I need one?
Anxiously and inconsiderately Logan pulls Sweetah towards
him.
SWEETAH
Well yeah.
Angrily, Logan unwraps his arms from around Sweetah’s waiste
and quietly exits the car.
LOGAN
Alright, I’ll be right back.

INT. CAR YARD - DAY
Logan rushes out of the yard. Neither, the owner of the yard
or Logan notice one another.

He casually makes his way passed the cars and enters a work
garage.
EXT. YARD ALLEYWAY - DAY

van. He approaches it with caution, but intriguingly tries
the handle. The door opens and Logan jumps in. He rummages
around in the glove box, looking desperately for a condom.
INT. CAR YARD GARAGE - DAY
The yard owner interestingly observes his CCTV monitor. His
eyes widen and his face nearly touches the screen as he
notices his van door open and the body of a male (Logan)
rummaging around inside, just outside the yard.
Raging with anger, he grabs a large spanner that is casually
laying on the bench and charges out of the garage and the
yard.
EXT. YARD ALLEYWAY - DAY
YARD OWNER
(Aggressively)
Oi, you.
Logan immediately looks up, observes the middle aged mean
looking thug.
The yard owner sharply stares at Logan.

away from the man, as he begins to run down the alleyway.
The yard owner, begins to chase him.

and into the same lockup garage.
INT. CAR YARD GARAGE - DAY
The yard owner, begins to work on one of his classic cars
INT. CAR SEAT - DAY
Sweetah slowly lifts her head, blinks her eyes and scrunches
her face. She turns her head to notice that the door to one
of the lockup garages is open. The light is on. A large male
(yard owner) figure is inside walking around.
She sinks back into the seat, to immediately conceal her
identity.
She gathers up her belongings, whilst popping her head
slightly up, to observe the mans whereabouts. She can hear
banging noises, but he is now visually out of her view.
Slowly and quietly, Sweetah opens the car door. She pauses
to re-observe the mans actions. He is not in sight.
Frantically, she exits the car, quietly closing the door
ajar.
INT. CAR YARD - DAY
In an attempt not to be discovered she dashes to the shadows
of the yard, then immediately out through the gate.
INT. PRACTICE STUDIO
Sweetah opens the door to the Practice studio, makes her way
along the corridor to the practice room.
The door to the studio room is partially open and Sweetah
discreetly, peeps in. She sees Logan gently strumming
various chords on his guitar, whilst laughing and embarking
in light conversation with other members of the band.
She steps aside, her eyes indicate a sense of deep thought,
as she leans against the wall.
FADE OUT.
