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 United States has a representative government. We learned about this form of government from the Romans.

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

Rome’s women 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. Stoicism stressed the importance of being a good citizen.

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. We took much of our system of government from the Romans.

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. Another reason Rome grew weak is that they had tax problems and couldn’t raise enough money to keep the roads from crumbling. 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.

Constantinople grows Constantinople became a leading center of trade. Trade helped the Byzantine Empire grow rich.

Justinian Justinian was the greatest of the Byzantine emperors. Justinian made many changes in the laws. His laws were called The Code of Justinian. Justinian also built many churches throughout the empire.

Constantinople is captured The split in the church weakened the Byzantine Empire. In 1453, the Ottoman Turks captured Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire came to an end.

The Byzantine Empire preserves great stuff The Byzantine Empire preserved the art and literature of the Greeks and Romans. Without the Byzantine, the world may have lost great treasures of the past.
