Compare And Contrast Two Ancient Empires

Even though Rome and China were different places they still have a lot in common, but don’t be fooled they also have their difference’s, our own government today and maybe even other parts of the world have either based their government on the old Roman Empire or may even have taken ideas from the Han Dynasty.

a) Rome gained its independence from Etruscan rule, and was established as a republic (state without a monarch), in 509 BCE. The republic lasted until the

Did you know that while the mayan, egyptian and romans seem so different they’re actually similar in many ways. From studies scientists have seen that the government between rome and egypt was almost the same and the fall of all three kingdoms have their similarities. Seeing it now there are many similarities between these three civilizations.

Have you ever wondered the difference in ancient civilizations? I am going to tell you about the differences in these civilizations; Rome, China, and Persia. Two of these places are still here, but the other was taken over and is no longer in existence. Though these places are old, they have played a big part in the growth of humanity. They have played a major part in our culture, religion, and everyday activities. Many of the things that we do today are based upon what they did way back in these times. Without Rome, China, and Persia: Do you think we would be the same as we are today? They are all different, but they have one thing in common, they helped evolve the human species.

Chau’s thesis that the rise and fall of empires was due to tolerance, inclusion, difference, and diversity is shown to be true of the Roman Empire because of the way that tolerance allowed and caused the empire to rise, enter its golden age, and fall. The Roman Empire was a “hyperpower” that lasted from 44 BCE to 476 CE. The empire contained Western, Southern, and Eastern Europe, along with North Africa; thus, there was an abundance of culture from many different conquered groups. Romans wanted to make these conquered nations provinces of Rome. The Roman Empire began (and the Roman Republic ended) with the assassination of Julius Caesar, who wanted to be a dictator. No longer a republic, the lands already ruled by Rome became part of an empire. The government became centralized with a single ruler, the emperor. However, even before the empire, during the Republic, there was also the similar feeling of wanting to conquer other nations was there.

The Roman empire and the Persian empire were both world powers for a reason. Both empires used very similar and different strategies to achieve all the power they accumulated over time. They both had very different views on everything from religion to human rights. Both empires both grew around the general same area, the Mediterranean Sea. They both used massive military force when conquering other empires and lands.

Civilization. The word “civilization” comes from the Latin term for “city.” The first civilizations were the river-valley civilizations, so-called because they all developed alongside major rivers to secure an adequate water supply for agricultural production. 2 of the greatest river-valley civilizations were Mesopotamia and Egypt. All though they both supported having a patriarchal leader or king, Egypt had a strong, centralized government, whereas Mesopotamia was decentralized, and built based on small city-states operating independently.

What Distinct Characteristics Did the Early Civilizations and Empires of the Middle East and Egypt Develop?

It is a well known fact that the Mughal empire is one of the three gunpowder empires. They are called this because they strong militaries used gunpowder. The three gunpowder empires controlled parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa. But the Mughals land covered mostly India.

The foundations of an ancient empire are shaped by many characteristics originating in a civilization’s social, philosophical, and theological values. Collectively these will bring about an empire that has aspects which will classify them in distinctive ways. The aspects that will be compared between Persia and Rome are the motives for expansion, methods of expansion, the administration, the impact on those conquered and the original empire, and the reasons for the decline of each empire. When combined, these aspects predispose the individual overall shape of ancient Rome and Persia. Both empires began with conquering larger rulers and creating vast empires which had never been seen

The three great empires of the time were the Han in China, the Romans in Europe, and the Gupta in India. Each was destined to fall, each in their own way. The Han lose the Mandate of heaven. Han ruled China about 300 years. They had natural disasters, Gods and spirits were mad, and warlords take over.

Khitan Empire has army for about 200,000 – 300,000 in peacetime, if a war broke out, the maximum number of army that emperors can use is close to 1.65 million, and the maximum population of Khitan Empire was about 9 million (Toqtaqu). Most of Khitan army were cavalry, the weapons they used usually were knifes and arrows. Like I mentioned in the beginning, Song Dynasty and Khitan Empire both wanted to conquest each other and then unify China, lots of wars and conflicts broke out between them, the trade and other commercial activities suffered a lot. In order to have relatively peace and balance between them, several peace treaties were formed, the most influential one called “Chanyuan Alliance”, it was formed in Chanyuan (now Puyang in Henan

The economy has been essential for empires and kingdoms throughout the human history. It was the main reason that caused the appearance of nobility and political organization after the specialization occurred just in the beginning of the Neolithic revolution. Later on, during the mid-bronze age, Governments were mostly not able to sufficiently feed their needs as all the societies were used to acquire some of their demands using trade. Even if they were able to, the greed to possess more luxurious and exotic goods had always kept the path open for nations to trade. Late Bronze Age was a period of mass trade between superpowers, as most of them were well fed and introduced to none local foods.

The ancient Greeks and Romans were among the most influential civilizations in the history of the world. Even though the Roman Empire eventually conquered Greece, Greek culture lived on within the Empire. The Roman form of government was the foundation of the design of the United States Senate. Ironically, the office of the President of the United States is the same as a tyrant in ancient times, that is a person who appealed of the common people to gain power.’ The Greeks and Romans had many differences, but there are also interesting similarities.

Diocletian ruled the empire by dividing it in two and having a co-emperor named Maximian rule with him, as well as Constantius and Galerius as assistant emperors. They governed the empire in a tetrarchy so that each of the them controlled a region. Diocletian was supreme ruler and the other three owed him their loyalty. Diocletian installed dioceses that were controlled by governors who answered to the praetorian prefects (the four emperors’ aides). In an attempt to decrease inflation, Diocletian put in place a new taxation system, as well as implemented strict wage and price controls.
