Write the causes of the decline of Roman empire |
| Answer» Conflict between the Emperor and the SenateWeakening of the emperor’s authority (after Christianity the Emperor was no longer seen as a god)Political Corruption – there was never a clear-cut system for choosing a new emperor, leading the ones in power to “sell” the position to the highest bidder.Money wasting – the Romans were very fond of their prostitutes and orgies and wasted a lot of money on lavish parties, as well as their yearly “games”Slave labor and price competition – Large, wealthy farm owners used slaves to work their farms, allowing them to farm cheaply, in contrast to smaller farmers who had to pay their workmen and could not compete price wise. Farmers had to sell their farms, leading to high unemployment figures.Economical Decline – After Marcus Aurelius, the Romans stopped expanding their empire, causing in a decrease of gold coming into the empire. The Romans however kept spending, causing coinmakers to use less gold, decreasing the value of money.Military spending – Because they wasted so much money and had to defend their borders all the time, the Government focused more on military spending than building houses or other public works, which enraged the people. Many stopped volunteering for the army, forcing the government to employ hired mercenaries, who were expensive, highly unreliable and ended up turning against the Roman Empire.A stop in technological advancement – The Romans were great engineers, but did not focus on how to produce goods more effectively to provide to their growing population.The Eastern Empire – The Roman Empire was divided in a Eastern and Western empire that drifted apart, making the empire easier to manage, but also weaker. Maybe the empire’s rapid expansion was its own downfall in the end.Civil War and Barbarian Invasion – Civil war broke out in Italy and the smaller Roman army had to focus all of its attention there, leaving the borders wide open for the barbarians to attack and invade. Barbarian bandits made travel in the empire unsafe and merchants could not get goods to the cities anymore, leading to the total collapse of the empire. | |

What were the status of women in Roman empire |
| Answer» Freeborn women in ancient Rome were citizens (cives), but could not vote or hold political office.

Explain the life of common people in ur city? |
| Answer» \t\tIn Mesopotamian society\xa0the nuclear family\xa0was the norm,although a married son and his family often resided with his parents.The father was the head of the family.We know a little about the\xa0procedures for marriage. A declaration was made about the willingness to marry by the bride’s parents. When the wedding took place, gifts were exchanged by both parties, who ate together and made offerings in a temple.Ur was one of the earliest cities to have been excavated in Mesopotamia.\xa0Narrow winding streets\xa0indicate that wheeled carts could not have reached many of the houses. Sacks of grain and firewood would have arrived on donkey-back. Narrow winding streets and the irregular shapes of house plots also indicate an absence of town planning.\xa0There were no street drains\xa0of the kind we find in contemporary Mohenjo-daro. Drains and clay pipes were instead found in the inner courtyards of the Ur houses and it is thought that house roofs sloped inwards and rainwater was channeled via the drainpipes into sump sin the inner courtyards.Yet people seem to have\xa0swept all their household refuses into the streets, to be trodden underfoot!This made street levels rise, and over time the thresholds of houses had also to be raised so that no mud would flow inside after the rains.Light came into the rooms not from windows but from\xa0doorways opening into the courtyards: this would also havegiven families their privacy.\t\t\xa0 | |
