Answer:
<em>In matriarchal societies women hold the power position, social privilege and control of property</em>. The Eastern woodland Indians lived east of the plains Indians. like other Indians they also used to depend on the natural resources. Because they lived in forests , they came to be called as Eastern Indians. All their basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, tools and weapons were from forests. Their villages were near lakes or streams. The Cherokee, Mound Builders and Iroquois were important Woodland tribes, they used to live in longhouses and wigwams. In all of these eastern woodland societies the women held prestigious positions.
As we know....the Roman Empire was very, very successful.....but if we look closely; I believe it's quite easy to distinguish by which means the Roman Empire used to grow. Rome just loved to war aka conquest other countries...it would use its resources and force them to pay tributaries (payment to the person whom conquered them). They had an incredibly good army..their military techniques were incredibly smart..and they also had war machines; which greatly contributed to their power on the battlefield. As far as I know, Rome rarely made alliances and agreements...Christianity was after the fall of Rome.
This being said to expand and grow, it's quite obvious that the Roman Empire went on conquests and war to expand and thrive. Alas, all Empires fall...as did the might Roman Empire.
