Transcript: Fixing the Roman Empire By Collin Osbahr Early Rome In early years Carthanage was great traders of the mediteranien and at the same time the romans wanted to expand their trading into Carthanigians zones. In 264 BC the Romans and the carthagins had their first war. After 100 years of battle the Romans seeked victory and became the most powerful mediterrainian state. On January 13, 27 BC Octavian took over the supreme powers of the Roman Empire. At the same time he changed his name to Agustus. How they Rome became powerfull. Pax Romana: It was a long time period of peace for the Roman Empire in the 1st and 2nd century. Agustus was the first Roman emperor. He ruled for 45 years; the people got used to being ruled by one leader and then all of Rome went into greatness under the empire. For 45 years Rome was at peace which was the beginning of Pax Romana. During this time the empire was drasticaly growing. They expanded their roads and buildings. For the next 200 years the Roman Empire stayed steady and strong thanks to the Pax Romana. The Army Very powerfull Well trained Good effectient fighting stratagies. The army had a good supllies of weapons and other armry. Since the army was so powerfull it gave solid protection to the Empire Trades Money was made and the money benefited the army. The empire could get resources that they needed that wern't from Rome. Roads The Romans built 50,000 miles of roads that were fast and safe. The amount of trade increased becuase of how easy it was. Communicating increased becuase it would be fast for people to send letters to each other. Spead cultural diffusion. The Roman army kept patrol of the roads and since at the time they where the biggest army nobody would mess with them which made people feel safe. Buildings They built many buildings, forts and bridges. It would protect the army if someone attacked. People who weren't originally from Rome would like the buildings because the benifits it provided to people, which was appealing to people from other countrys. How did it all collaspe? Julia Caesers death The men he put out of the senate when he took power plotted against him and murdered him. His death lead to 13 years of civial war. Failing Economy The Empire was spending to much money on the army to protect them selves but faced bankruptcy The employment rate was low becuase people were starting to buy slaves, so they didn't need to have people work for them when they had people do it free. Wars They spent a lot of money on weapons and armry. They also were in great need of more soilders so the Barbarians who were already conquered faught with them. Other Problems Decline in Morals Political Corruption and the Praetorian Guard Fast expansion of the Empire Constant Wars and Heavy Military Spending Failing Economy Natural Disasters Changes I would make Taxes I would make a law that makes every citizen of Rome would have to pay 2 percent of their monthly pay, to the army so they dont face financial problems paying off equipment and armor. If a person cannot pay it then they have to serve in the army for 2 months everytime they don't pay. I would propose that no one can own more than two slaves so it keeps people working and prevent unemployment. I would make another law that everyone has to be Pacifist becuase they would be against the war which means they would support the military. Last: I would change the form of goverment from a Empire to a Republic. I would make this change becuase it would give the people of Rome the freedom to choose what they want, instead of one person controlling everyone which cuases problems .

Ruler's AUGUSTUS (31 B.C. - 14 A.D.) The Founding The Founding of Rome is very much embroiled in a myth.Traces found by archaeologists of early settlements of the Palatine Hill date back to ca 750 BC. which was traditionally celebrated in Rome with the festival of Parilia.Two founding legends exist - Romulus and Remus and Aeneas.Rather than contradict each other, the tale of Aeneas adds to that of Romulus and Remus.
