Roman Empire- AJ

• The Roman empire as we know today was one of the world's greatest super powers, ruling parts of Asia and Europe. The Roman Empire was Valorous because of its well trained and highly skilled soldiers and military. The Romans had their own complex religion and culture, and they all followed polytheism. This empowerment had led to Conquering other land and easily defeating their opponents. When all the peoples of the conquered land were captured, only few with enough wealth would the Roman government for their own protection. This had been a common practice causing the Roman government to become wealthier, and  having a population of about 49 million. Their city capital was known as Rome, which meant that anyone who had worshiped the Roman were Romanian.
•  The Roman empire was founded at around 753 B.C by their first king, Romulus. Romulus had lead the small city into many battles conquering all of Italy (their home country), and all of the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea.  The people of Europe had started to form legions and fight back at the Romans, but they were crushed and their home lands were burned. Many times the Romans had crossed through cities with their armies to make it quicker to the battlefield. Though, there were many resistance fighters who ad fought back, and that angered the Romans. This would result in Much death in the city, and it being burnt to the ground. This was a similar story of someone you may know as Jesus Christ.
• The Roman empire as stated in the first bullet had an up going success rate due to their well trained and disciplined army. The Roman Army was able to walk 40 KM every day as part of their training, or if they had to go fight a war in a distant area. The army had serious training from dusk to dawn exercising their cardio, and muscles. They had very strict rules and discipline, causing there to be severe punishments for unrighteous acts of revolt or disgrace towards their gods. This severity is what gave Rome its valorous army and was able to defeat its enemies. Some of these later great kings were known as, Julius Caesar, and Marc Antony(though Marc Antony had never actually become king). 
• The Romans had specific disciplines and weapons that had helped lead them towards their success and their large time accomplishments. For Example, they had the Roman short sword which was extremely sharp, and their shields were made of bronze (it was able to cover and protect most of the body). The Roman army did not have the best navy compared to the Athenians, but they were great ground fighters, so the made a bridge that would reach out to another ship and let the soldiers aboard. The Romans had a severe punishment when one soldier fights for another city, they let six other soldiers beat him to death with wooden clubs. 
• The scariest punishment was pegging (when soldiers or citizens throw stones and rocks at the traitor until dead. Last but not least, the Roman legions were lead by two Praetorian guards who where the generals of the army, and were chosen b the king. They were also the kings bodyguards and were the best 2 fighters in the Roman army. Though, if the king did not pay them enough, they would murder him or beat him to the death(this had happened often, but was illegal. 
• The Roman Empire was now unstoppable and had simply eradicated almost all of its competition and enemies. The only resistance they had were unorganized barbarian tribes. The large Roman Empire had soon fell when power hungry politician used their men and waged war against each other. The Roman Empire had sadly deteriorated from within, and it was easy for the barbarian tribes to finish them off. Now, the Roman culture, religion, literature, and language is lost.
