Having these two areas under its control meant that the Mediterranean was once again a Roman sea, and the trade that was now available to the empire would greatly increase its revenue. Justinian would further improve his legacy as these two former Roman territories were still very important to the Byzantine Empire. However, the conquests expanded throughout more than just North Africa and Italy. Conquests were throughout parts of Europe, Middle East, and North Africa, as Document 6 shows. The conquest of Africa in 533 by Belisarius also increased the wealth of the empire as the general took back the Vandal treasury, once plundered from
How similar are Warwick and Kenilworth castles in their development over time? In this essay I will be showing how similar/different Warwick and Kenilworth castle developed over the years.

They lived in a range of structures including pit houses and cliff dwellings. They had a major trade network created and was based in Chacco Canyon and Mesa Verde. As you can see, both of these civilizations were quite advanced and were essential to the growth of our country. There are three main reasons why learning about these two ancient Native American civilizations will be beneficial to us in the present time. They are that we can learn from their mistakes, improve upon their own brilliant inventions, and lastly because it will help us understand how our country’s foundation was laid as these civilizations played a major part in it.
In 1811, Europeans began to develop port facility in the area and receive fresh produce. Port functions grew by 1826 and became one of the busiest seaports in Australia. Due to this, it attracted industry to the area. Port facilities lead to population growth as it was close to the city and markets and continued to attract industry to the area. Industry transport grew, in 1870 rail goods yard built to handle increasing transport requirements of industry.
Motte and Bailey Castles were made out of wood, this is what made them cheap and fast to construct. William needed to establish himself fast and by building castles quickly he sets up controlling the country just as fast. In the centre of a Motte and Bailey castle was a keep, this was the safest place in the castle and was built on a defensive mound of earth, the motte. On lower ground, there would have been a large walled area where the soldiers and animals would have lived, this part of the castle was
One of these included the massive growth of conservatism through the US, and increasing business influences. The main strength would be the growing influence of Mark Hanna, who used his growing wealth to bolster republican campaigns. He also used his business, which included coal, iron and steel, to the republicans’ advantage, which he joined in the 1860s. Hanna invested his own money into the campaigns and raised huge sums. Not only did the strengths of the Republicans help increase their dominance, but also the
This then triggers a sudden increase in private investment. Private investment brings a range of benefits into the area including: more high quality public services and transport, new housing and hotels which helps create this new ‘global brand’ for the area which of course leads to even more inward investment to the area and so on. One of the main, most recent, examples of this idea of using sport as a catalyst for rebranding has to be the 2012 Olympics. With all else mentioned above related to private investments and its benefits aside, the 2012 Olympics created a feel-good factor for many of the local residents in east London. This was achieved by the constant promise to the local people of great improvements to their lives, and through other things such as the new recognition to their area, the physical environmental improvements to their area and the new jobs being created all contributed to the widespread feel-good factor.
American Architecture and Its Development Early American Architecture was developed through European colonization. As settlements began to colonize and form towns, the architecture began to change. From the seventeenth to nineteenth century, American architecture evolved from its vernacular form practiced by the originating country to a style that invokes a sense of revivalism that is seen through the designs of Henry Latrobe and Thomas Jefferson. Once cities began to flourish there was a need to facilitate them. By designing a practical skyscraper along with influencing the idea of the modern suburban house, industrial cities could function properly and people could move out of the overcrowded cities.
Chapter Three: On the Magical Medieval City The primary generative force of magical medieval cities is security. Most settlements begin in the shadow of strongholds, towers, castles, or great churches. As these settlements grow in size and number, coupled with an increase in population and trade from newfound stability, a network of towns, cities, and their surrounding villages appear on the map. But security is not the only generative force for cities. Commerce is another generative force that can take a village and progress it to an urban environment and there is also town creation by decree, where a section of land is given certain rights, declared urban, and formed from the ground up, typically in less than a decade’s time.
After a large earthquake in A.D. 62, recorded by Suetonius in his Life of Nero, many of the older elite families moved out of Pompeii to other towns. This wealth vacuum led to the rise of the "nouveau-riche", often wealthy freedmen pursuing power and stature. The Vettii brothers were a prime example of this new class that arrived in Pompeii with the earthquake rubble. The very fact that these two brothers were able to rise from the status of slaves to wealthy merchants speaks to the social mobility within their society Wall painting can be considered the most
