Description:
This study examines the origins of the Roman Empire in the institutions of the Roman Republic. The study will include the Civil Wars, the career of Julius Caesar, the struggle for power following his death, and the imposition of imperial rule by Augustus. Students will explore the strengths and weaknesses of the imperial dynastic succession, and analyze the reasons for the successes and failures of at least three emperors. Other topics will include the territorial ambitions of the empire, the nature of life in imperial Rome, the status of women, slavery, and the development of transportation, law and commerce. Finally, students will explore the problems of taxation, loyalty, and the barbarian pressure that created conditions for the ultimate decline of the imperial system.
