Frederick the Great Frederick II reigned for more than 45 years. During this reign he established a reputation as a brilliant military commander, played a key role in European politics, increased Prussia’s territory, and earned admiration of many European intellectuals, like Voltaire. He later earned the name Frederick the Great due to his many accomplishments. Frederick the Great is also known as an “enlightened despot” because he supported the progressive ideas and reforms of the period of history called the “Enlightenment.” Frederick II was the son of Frederick William, ruler of Prussia. At a young age, Frederick William made sure that his son was trained in the art of war, but Frederick II had little interest in learning.
He increases it to about 250,000 men, and gives them rewards and benefits for participating. He also began a massive building campaign. He built roads, aqua ducts, and coliseums. This helped the economy by providing services, jobs, and entertainment for the people of Rome. He even fixed prices so people could afford things, and the people of Rome loved Octavian.
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.
Evaluate the significance of the Gallic Wars in the Career of Julius Caesar Julius Caesar’s involvement in the Gallic Wars was a vital factor in his successful career, it had a major impact on both his military and political status. Caesar’s involvement in the Gallic wars was a daring and ambitious move, as per his financial circumstances at the time. However, it was a necessary decision if he were “to make a career at all” [Plutarch]. The Gallic Wars was an opportunity Caesar utilized to obtain a proconsular command that would propel his rise to power and status. The military strength and wealth he gained through his conquests in Gaul would pave his way to a successful career.
He also made better law enforcement by building the Court of Star Chamber. He also managed to marry his children to powerful men and women in other countries such as when he married his daughter Margaret to James IV of Scotland and his youngest daughter Mary to Louis XII of France which was a very tactical decision as France were very close by and may be able to get report of enemies before they reached England. I think that this is enough proof that Henry was a great and almighty king. I believe that out of politically, militarily and financially that Henry VII was most involved financially as he had enough money to give away to his son 4,500,000 pounds sterling away then he must have had ridiculous amounts of money and was probably one of the richest kings for England to ever have in comparison to the amount of money that was around at the
The villas also tell us that amongst the elite at the time, like people today, there was an interest in ‘identity’. The mosaics show a clear ‘Roman’ identity, and People’s homes were used as a symbol of status, many hoping to impress with the display of highly decorated (and unusable) precious metal, which can be learnt from the hoards of silver plate deposited in the fourth and fifth century. Roman Villas also helps us to understand the social
Roman civilization is an amazing one, because of this. Ordered by Emperor Vespasian, as a gift to his people, the Colosseum represents Roman society as a grand spectacle. I chose to reflect on the Colosseum because it is one of the
(World book ency.) I have learned that the Biltmore is a mansion of beauty. And many people like to visit it during the holidays. George W. Vanderbilt was a very smart man when he decided to build this house because it has become a great success. I also learned that the Biltmore has very many activities for the guests to participate in.
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
