Assuming you're referring to ancient Rome, some characteristics would include pride, wealth, territorial expansion, and more importantly the military, which was at the center of society.

1. The Romans were the most powerful people in the ancient world from around the third century B.C. all the way until almost the sixteenth century A.D. That's about 1,700 of dominance. This fact is the most striking and telling of the Romans. They were the top dogs, influencing and controlling the whole western world longer than any civilization that has ever existed. Today, dozens of nations are either seriously influenced by Roman culture, or were directly shaped by its historical weight.


2. The Romans were master "stealers". Their roads wee copied by their northern neighbors during the Roman Kingdom, their toilets and aqueduct technolgoy and all that might have been taken from North Africans, their relgion was stolen from the Greeks, Christianity from the Judeans, military dress from the Gauls, art and education from the Greeks too... you get the idea.



3. They were fighters. Thy conquered the world not because it was a dangerous and scary place where there had to be somebody on top. Few wanted to invade and take the spoils or become "masters of the world" The Romans went far and wide in search of new land to take. Their ability to steal and adapt didn't exclude their military. Theirs was the most technically and tactically advanced army the world would see for ages. They rarely had reason beyond their own ambitions to expand and subjugate unwilling, victimized peoples into slavery and military service and often early graves. One historian said, "Rome created a wasteland and called it peace".



4. The Romans were decadent with their riches. Well, at least their leaders were. Rome, the city, had loads of huge and beautiful monuments dedicated to some victory or god or leader. The Pantheon (an expensive, domed temple built to honor the gods; famous for its freestanding dome), Nero's Palace (a huge, expensive personal mansion he built on the ashes of a section of Rome he burned down secretly), the Colosseum (a super-famous arena where people would fight and be executed in sand for entertainment of the masses), and the Circus Maximus (the largest arena in the world at the time, housing hugely popular chariot races and huger crouds) are just a few examples.

Answer:

The answer is social clock.

Explanation:

This phenomenon explains the expectancy of society to achieve certain things at a determined time (for example, graduating from high school at age eighteen or getting married in your twenties). However, these expectations are variable in different parts of the world.

How do I construct a DBQ? (document bassed question)
Deffense [45]

<span>Step 1: Answer each question in Part A. 
</span>Carefully read or view each document relating to the DBQ question, and answer the question that follows each document. Use factual information and base your answer to each question on the specific document to which it is related, and be sure to compose each answer using complete sentences.

<span>Step 2: Compose a thesis statement.
</span>Read the task section in of the DBQ essay question and analyze it in order to figure out what it is asking you to do. Key words used in the task may include:

Discuss means "to make observations about something using facts, reasoning, and argument; to present in some detail."

Describe means "to illustrate something in words or tell about it."

Show means "to point out; to set forth clearly a position or idea by stating it and giving data to support it."

Explain means "to make plain or understandable; to give reasons for or causes of; to show the logical development or relationships of" (Global Studies Regents, June, 1997).

Once you understand what the task is asking you to write about, compose a thesis statement that addresses these issues. For example, the sample DBQ below contains a task that could be reworded to form a thesis statement such as:

<span>"Many<span> societies have held different viewpoints regarding the process of governmental</span> decision-making and about the role of citizens in the political decision-making process. Therefore, several types of political systems have evolved over time, from those that are controlled absolutely as well as some that follow a democratic tradition. Regardless of the type of government, there are obvious advantages and disadvantages involved in both types of political systems."</span>

<span>Step 3: Organize the essay.
</span><span>Organize the information that you want to use in your essay through the use of an outline. During this pre-writing step, you should brainstorm as many facts as possible that could be used in your essay. Also make sure that you are addressing the task as well as the requirements from the rubric.</span>

Step 5: Write the introduction.
<span>A. Revisit the historical context and determine if you can use part or all of this statement in your introduction.
B. Insert your thesis statement from step three.
C. If your thesis does not address the body paragraphs that will follow, compose a sentence that briefly introduces    each topic.</span>

<span><span>Step 6: Write the body paragraphs.
</span>Write the first body paragraph. Be sure to include all of the following components: 
topic sentence, supporting evidence in the body sentences, and a closing sentence. Follow this same format as you write the additional body paragraphs. Compose additional paragraphs if necessary in order to completely answer the essay question.</span>

<span>Be sure to use most of the documents provided by the teacher in order to provide evidence which proves your
thesis statement, and to meet the criteria in the rubric to earn a full credit for your essay.</span> 

<span>Step 7: Write the conclusion.
Summarize the subject of the essay. You can often do this by restating the question in a different way. Explain what you concluded about the essay question. Summarize how the information in the body of your essay proves your point.</span>
