The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire

Rome built great stuff Rome built great roads to travel on and aqueducts to bring water into the city. Rome also built great stadiums and amphitheaters for the entertainment of the people. Romans also developed the use of the arch.

Rome was a Republic A republic is a form of government where people elect representatives.

The Senate The Senate led the Roman Empire. They made the laws for the republic.

Rome’s women got shafted Rome might have had representative government, but not all people were represented. Roman women were not allowed to vote.

Roman Citizenship Romans had a strong sense of citizenship. Roman citizens were protected by Rome, but had a duty to participate in society and to make it better. The philosophy that preached good citizenship was called Stoicism.

Roman Law and Rights Roman laws stressed fairness and common sense. There was equal treatment under the law in Rome and people were considered innocent until proved guilty when accused of a crime.

Roman Art Mosaics were popular in Rome. A mosaic is a picture made out of small, colored tiles or pieces of glass. The Romans also made great statues that looked like the real thing, even though they were made from stone.

Rome’s first emperor Octavian is Rome’s first emperor. He took the name Augustus Caesar. Under his rule, Rome expanded and enjoyed a period of peace.

Pax Romana Rome lived in peace for 200 years. It was called the Pax Romana, the Peace of Rome. Unfortunately for Rome, the peace would not last.

Rome grew weak Rome grew weak because it had grown too large. Slavery was also a problem in the empire. With so many slaves, the people did not need to work. Internal problems that helped Rome’s downfall were corrupt generals, civil wars, and economic problems.

Barbarians at the gates Romans called the people who destroyed Rome Barbarians. Romans called anyone who didn’t speak Greek, even though the word barbarian actually means uncivilized, lacking in culture and violent. The Roman Empire fell in 476 AD. The eastern part of the empire would survive.

Byzantium The eastern part of the Roman Empire became known as the Byzantine Empire or Byzantium.

Constantinople Constantinople was named for emperor Constantine. Constantine was important because he legalized Christianity in the empire. Under Constantine’s rule, Christianity spread greatly. He moved the capital of the empire from Rome to Constantinople.
