A community portal about Ancient Rome with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew from a humble city-state founded on the Italian Peninsula circa the 9th century BC to a massive empire straddling the Mediterranean. In its twelve-century existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to a vast empire. It came to dominate Western Europe and the entire area surrounding the Mediterranean Sea through conquest and assimilation. Nonetheless, a number of factors led to the eventual decline of the Roman Empire. The western half of the empire, including Hispania, Gaul, and Italy, eventually broke into independent kingdoms in the 5th century ; the eastern empire, governed from Constantinople, is usually referred to as the Byzantine Empire after 476, the traditional date for the "fall of Rome" and for the subsequent onset of the Early Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages.

We often think that pressure on young women to be thin is a modern phenomenon, but a fascinating letter to the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry published in 2000 noted that this is not a new development. The authors cite evidence from Ancient Rome showing a similar cultural pressures were widespread: Garner et al. (1985) wrote about the present “unprecedented emphasis on thinness and dieting” which is one...

This was the fall of the Roman Empire. A great civilization is not conquered from without until it destroys itself from within. How and why do empires fall? Samuel Bronston’s 1964 epic drama The Fall of the Roman Empire tries to answer the question. Some classify America as an empire. Those who do are not all elitist intellectuals who live offshore in Europe, but some are intellectuals who reside right here stateside. Within the last eight years when everything really started to run amok in a schizophrenic fast forward of excess and madness here and abroad because of the government’s policies and the continuing ...
