What is the climax point of art in ancient rome?
Q. I have to do a 10 page monograph about ancient architects in Rome, more specific about the Arc of Constantine. In my monograph I have to elaborate about art/architect in ancient Rome (history), and I was searching for the climax point of art in ancient Rome. When was the art in Rome becoming well known and important? When did it's characteristics really show in all artistic forms? I don't know if I am making my question clear enough, but I hope someone can answer it.

A. This question is really tricky! Many scholars, including P. Davies and F. Kleiner, agree that the "climax" of Roman arts was definitely during the reigns of the 5 good emperors. Here are some reasons why: 1) After the end of the reign of Commodus, son of Marcus Aurelius, the empire experienced a mini-speed bump with its emperors but was revived when Septimius Severus took the throne. However, this was short lived because his son Caracalla murdered his younger brother and was eventually murdered himself;after a few other emperors, the Severi Dynasty came to an abrupt halt and a century of "solider" emperors dawned the purple...the empire has begun to fall apart. Thus, the high point would have to have been during the reigns of Nerva, Trajan, [cont.]

Q. how were women treated at home in rome? Like, did there husbands and fathers beat them, molest them? was that normal?
Asked by Lily Pie - Tue Jun 10 17:50:11 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Ancient Rome was a very violent society, where people routinely went along to a public place to see other humans torn apart by wild beasts, or killing each other with weapons, activities they thought of as 'entertainment'. Roman women were always legally under the 'control' of a man ~ the woman went from father to husband and even when very old and perhaps widowed, a male had to be responsible for her financial matters, under the law. Rome was also a very hierarchical society, and low born women and slaves were simply drudges who could be commanded at will. Like most places in the ancient world, and many today, women had very few rights, and were subject to the decisions and whims of the males in their families about how they would live, [cont.]

Why were women given more rights during the empire in ancient Rome?
Q. I have to write an essay on this, and don't even know where to begin. Ancient Rome used to be a republic, and women basically had no civil rights.

A. Actually, these rights began DURING the Republic. Even before the time of Julius Caesar, the ancient form of patrician marriage was falling into disuse. The old form basically gave the head of the husband's family the power of life and death over the wife and her children, restricted the women to the home except for such occasions as called for the matrons to participate in public festivals (such as the Vestalia, in honor of the goddess Vesta, who presided over the hearth fire).

Q. Why did the civilization of Ancient Rome have a long life span?
Asked by chain gang soldier for life - Sat Apr 22 23:31:36 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Rome didn't have a particularly long life span. The Roman Empire, as we know it, lasted only about 400 years, if that long. The Egyptian Empire lasted several thousand years. I didn't check the dates, but that's close. That being said, most governments last less than 200 years, which is why we consider the Romans to be long-lived. The real answer to your question is assimilation. When Romans conquered a people, they made them Roman citizens and incorporated them into the army. They also gave the local people all of the benefits of Roman citizenry, such as aqueducts, amphitheaters, roads, baths, trade, protection, and republican government (form of self-rule). This made for loyal subjects rather than an insurgent populous. Much… [cont.]

A. Rome didn't have a particularly long life span. The Roman Empire, as we know it, lasted only about 400 years, if that long. The Egyptian Empire lasted several thousand years. I didn't check the dates, but that's close. That being said, most governments last less than 200 years, which is why we consider the Romans to be long-lived.

A. Agree - Italians look right for the part, especially the citizens of modern Roma, who can trace their ancestry right back to ancient Rome - even if people think otherwise. Ancient Roman Faces = Modern Roman (Italian) Faces I've had plenty of holidays in Italia and know a true Roman when I see one. roma spqr in this video below, not only do we get the fabulous voice of Gigli (A Roman if ever I saw one) but we also get little tour ot Italy too. Who is Mamma? Italia of course.

A. Victory in the Punic Wars gave Rome its first overseas conquests, so was the beginning of a Roman empire. Victory also enabled Rome to take over Carthage's long established trade routes and trading empire, so considerably enriched the Roman republic on an ongoing,long term basis. So, the Punic Wars led to the establishment of territory and wealth that enabled Rome to expand into a large,powerful, long lasting empire.
