<br> <br>In the way of order they left several forts, most of them connected to the two giant walls: Hadrian's Wall (right) and the Antonine Wall (left). Both were ordered built by emperors and named after themselves. Both, of course, were built to contain what the Romans thought of barbarians in the north. Both stand, in part, to this day. It is a testament to Roman craftsmanship and British respect for the past.
Augustus Caesar – First Roman Emperor – 63 BC – 14 CE Augustus Caesar of Rome was born with the given name Gaius Octavius on September 23, 63 B.C. He took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian) in 44 B.C. after the murder of his great uncle, Julius Caesar. In his will Caesar had adopted Octavian and made him his heir. Full name Gaius Octavius Thurinus (from birth to adoption by Julius Caesar in 44 BC); Gaius Julius Caesar (from 44 to 27 BC); Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus (from 27 BC until death in AD 14) Octavian was a shrewd, brilliant and astute politician.
In the Roman Republic, this was an honorary title assumed by certain military commanders. After an especially great victory, an army's troops in the field would proclaim their commander imperator, an acclamation necessary for a general to apply to the Senate for a triumph. After being acclaimed imperator, the victorious general had a right to use the title after his name until the time of his triumph, where he would relinquish the title as well as his imperium. As imperator, Caesar was entitled to a triumph. However, he also wanted to stand for consul, the most senior magistracy in the republic.
Scullard claims that Tiberius ‘acted firmly within the sphere of his proconsular imperium’. Raaflab adds that ‘Tiberius has the extra bonus of loyalty with the army due to his long standing role as military commander.’ In doing so he endeavored to gain more popularity in the army, which Scullard describes as ‘the first and indispensable need for any successor’. He continued to stabilize it, where he enforced reforms such as lengthening the term of legionaries to 25 years and imposing stricter punishments, Suetonius states that ‘Tiberius imposed the severest discipline on his men: reviving obsolete methods of punishment or branding them the ignominy for misbehaviors’. This impacted the efficiently and stability of the army. In addition, he increased the power

Throughout these speeches, some men occasionally proved their worth by acquiring an equivalent position held by their predecessors but most made it seem that the debt owed to their ancestors was far too great. Cicero had no opportunity to speak about his ancestors the same way, for they were not rendered illustrious nor enjoyed popular favour.2 He also warned his son about living up to a distinguished name, and how the eyes of the world will turn upon him, his life and character scrutinised in good deeds and bad.3 The value of ancestry also flowed into Roman funeral processions. This commonly involved a parade of ancestral portraits, which was offered as respect to the deceased; and destined every member of the family that had ever existed to be present at their descendant’s funeral.4 People attending the funeral would listen to the details from orators about the virtues and successes accomplished by the deceased. Afterwards they would
Taveras 1 Angel Taveras Research Paper Mrs.Ridenour The Celts, Huns, and Persians vs Rome “One cannot but admire the forethought shown in this particular by the Romans, in making their servant class useful to them not only for the ministrations of ordinary life but also for war” (Fiero 131).Romans were described as fierce by history .They had spread their empire all throughout ancient Europe, and waged three main wars with the Celts, the Huns, and the Persians. who were these three tribes of people? Were they able to survive the wars, or left into the history books. The Celts was characterized as barbarians from the Roman's perspective.“We know that the early Celtic societ[y] [was] organized around warfare―this structure would commonly characterize cultures in the process of migration: the Celts, the Huns, and later the Germans. Although classical Greek and Roman writers considered the Celts to be violently insane, warfare was not an organized process of territorial conquest” (“European middle ages,” par.6).
4/22/09 History 103 Prof. Elliot The rise and fall of the Roman Empire Many have heard the history of one of the greatest empires of all time. The Roman Empire had paved the path that the American founding fathers looked to for inspiration and wisdom from learning from the mistakes of historical leaders to create the government we are today. In researching, many wonder how exactly did the empire fail? It looked like the perfect and strongest form of government to the outside nations, and yet it failed still and became a lesson to others and just another page in a history book. Many historians have researched the military and the government of the Roman Empire and it is yet still difficult to find if there was an exact moment that the roman
It's only my opinion but it seems that way to me. Either they are not affected by it, or perhaps when it hits, it just slides off their backs, or better yet, they stand up to it. Conclusion I am aware that ageism does exist, but other than the incident above at my work, and the trouble with my grandmother and her doctor disregarding her, I have not really experienced it personally, but it disturbs me that it even does exist. That a person could be disregarded, minimized, taken advantage of, abused, neglected just because he or she happens to be 60+ makes me sick to my stomach. I plan to advocate and be a help to people such as these in my future career as a social service worker.
