Historians, military strategists, political scientists and economists are all greatly interested in the mechanisms that led to the rise of the roman empire. the roman empire, known for sustained military and political domination of many areas of europe, north africa, and the near east, has captured the interests of many analysts who have developed three possible reasons for the rise of and domination of the roman empire.
Firstly, the roman army was superior to all neighboring armies. despite having a very small domestic population, rome was able to successfully develop the world’s first professional army. the army was well-trained, well-disciplined, and well-equipped. when necessary, the army was supplemented with mercenaries to fill the ranks. additionally, rome had a mighty navy which could swiftly and efficiently deploy troops, increasing the area which rome could effectively control. this superior military helped rome defeat competing armies and help maintain the empire’s stability with aggressive force.
A second factor that contributed to the rise of the roman empire was the unchallenged power of the emperor. roman emperors possessed enormous power over the courts and government as well as the military and regular citizens. in effect, the emperor was just short of an infallible deity. by holding these powers, the emperor could prosecute anyone who interfered with the performance of his duties. because of this, detractors and dissidents were unlikely to object to the actions of the emperor. this afforded the empire with solidarity and helped it rise to regional dominance.
Another feature of the roman empire was high taxes. wealth coming from taxes helped the roman government continue military campaigns and feed army camps. additionally, public works projects like roads and other infrastructure were completed with money taxed from individuals. this income in turn helped stimulate the economy, promoting a prosperous and rich environment for trade.
The passage discusses the greatness of the Roman Empire and puts forward several reasons all of which contributed to its wide domination. However, the lecture deeply believes that they directly led to calppsing the Roman Empire.
First and foremost, the article asserts that the Roman Empire's army was superior because of not only its skilled troops but also its navy to move time efficiently. On the other hand, the professor points out that the Roman army was more loyal to their commanders rather than their emperor which weakened the Roman empire.
Secondly, the writer contends that the unquestioned power of the emperors afforded them to dominate lots of lands. The speaker, conversely, calls this into question. He explicitly argues that since no one was in the place to complain against the emperors' decisions, they made many poor decisions all of which led to weaken the Roman Empire.
last but not least, The author claims that high taxes provided the Roman Empire with enough budget to not only feed the army but to complete public projects such as roads. On the contrary, the lecture clears out that high rat taxes were paid by mostly peasants and farmers which brought about a revelation that ended the Roman Empire.
