<span>24) Between about
615 B.C. and 510 B.C., Rome was rule by the Etruscan, a powerful civilization
from ancient Italy. During this period, the upper-class citizens were called
Patricians. They used the held the most high and important offices. The
lower-class citizens were called Plebeians. They represented the poor party of
the people from farmers, peasants, etc… In 510 B.C., the patricians rebelled,
removed the Etruscan King, and created an empire of their own, with a republic
Policy, and they held all the power, while the plebeians were nothing. The
plebeians of course didn’t like that and began to ask for political equality,
but the Patricians never answered their demands. Over time, a conflict, called
the conflict of orders, grew between those 2 classes. In about 495 B.C., the
Plebeians, who were in a very big quantity representing 95% of the population,
left the city and camped in a nearby hill, and didn’t approved to come back
until the Patricians gave them their rights. Rome was in crisis. The farms were
abandoned, and the Patricians feared that they get in war with a lack of
soldiers. So Patricians had to give political rights to the Plebeians, and
creating a council for them “the Council of Plebs”. This conflict between the
Patricians and the Plebeians transformed the policy of Rome from a Republic to
a Democratic Empire.</span>
25) A political power that is still in use in today, the tribunes of Ancient Rome had the power to Veto, or block laws, in the Roman Senate that they disapproved of.
26) The Dictator in Ancient Rome was the one Responsible of the whole empire. He was the one dealing with Surprise attacks and military emergencies and all this kind of stuff. All the tribunes and magistrates were under his command, and the veto could not be used against his decisions. But of course he was limited between some severe rules which he hadn't got the rights to break.
27) It all started when Emperor Augustus, Grand nephew of Julius Caesar, Defeated Antony and Cleopatra in the battle of Actium. He Built a lot of infrastructures in the empire, established a strong money system, established fire and police departments, and encouraged the growth of Business. In addition, the Roman Empire controlled the whole Mediterranean with almost no warfare. By the reign of Diocletian, the Empire covered 5 million square kilometers, dividing the empire into Western and Eastern. Then, his successor Constantine Byzantium, capital of the Byzantine Empire, and renamed it Constantinople. During his reign, the rise of a new Religion: Christianity, was a major factor of the beginning of the fall of the Roman Empire. It was completely different from the traditional Romans beliefs. Some years later, Christianity became the official religion of the empire and changed the whole policy. The 2 roman empires were reunited under the leadership of Constantinople. At last, Germanic barbarian tribes attacked Rome and completely dominated it, and the 1000 years Empire had fallen.
