We may therefore acquiesce in the pleasing conclusion that every age of the world has increased, and still increases, the real wealth, the happiness, the knowledge, and perhaps the virtue, of the human race.[15] [[2]] See the inestimable remains of the sixth book of Polybius, and many other parts of his general history, particularly a digression in the seventeenth [leg. eighteenth] book, in which he compares: the phalanx and the legion [c. 12-15].

This essay goes over them with a fine-toothed comb and finds that while Christians and Moslems were almost certainly innocent, the Romans just might have a lot to answer for.

To him the form of GOVERNMENT of the Roman Empire was the most marvelous thing on earth. It became an obsession. He applied its principles to the CHURCH, organized the church into a GOVERNMENT, forming the PAPACY. "This CHURCH GOVERNMENT or ORGANIZATION is the IMAGE OF THE BEAST! "Says Myers' Ancient History : 'During the reign of Leo I, the Church set up, within the Roman Empire, an ecclesiastical STATE [government] which, in its constitution and its administrative system, was shaping itself upon the imperial MODEL.' "This CHURCH GOVERNMENT, then, according to this historical authority, is in fact a MODEL, a COUNTERPART, AN IMAGE of the BEAST which is the Roman Empire government.

In 751, Islam had split into two contending parties. The Abbasids and the Umayyads . The umayyad's capital was in Damascus, and their traditions were severe, but straightforward. The Abbasids, by contrast were centered to the east in the area of Mesopotamia and their traditions included a strong mystical element. These two wings developed into the modern Shi'Ite and Sunni branches of Islam. A war between the two factions led to the overthrow of the Umayyad caliphate of Damascus. The Abbasids were not interested much in sea power and the Mediterranean. Their interests were continental, and they built their new capital in Mesopotamia, at Baghdad. In a significant way, the triumph of the Abbasids reflected the revival of Persian culture, but within Islam rather than in opposition to it. b. Byzantium also became much more interested in continental affairs due to the Slavic peoples threatening their European frontiers. Under the Isaurian emperors, the lands of the empire were reorganized in a quasi-feudal manner, and the navy was allowed to decay as a stronger land force was built up. c. The Franks also turned their attention inland and began to expand into lands to the north and east. What little interest the Franks had developed in naval power vanished. So the three Mediterranean powers simultaneously, and for reasons that we do not really understand, disengaged and turned their attention away from the struggle to control the Mediterranean.

Extractions: First published on alt.talk.royalty, October 1999. This note is based on two works: Aside from a few statutory dispositions, the primary source for the law governing family and inheritance among reichsständische(immediate) families of the Holy Roman Empire consisted of either customs, or else family pacts, wills, house laws, etc. These families essentially enjoyed considerable autonomy, often broadened, never restricted. In the absence of specific sources, the applicable law was primarily the German common law, and secondarily Roman law ("received law") as common law of the Empire. As immediate members of the Empire, these families were subject to local law only to the extent that they willingly submitted themselves. The local estates had no customary role in the formulation of house laws, nor was their publication a condition for their validity. Confirmation by the Emperor was necessary only to the extent that the dispositions of the house laws infringed on the reserved rights of the emperor or on the law governing imperial fiefs (Reichslehnen); or when rights of family members were restricted or abrogated where common law of the Empire recognized them as unalienable without consent. For example, the rights of the unborn, the nascituri, as well as the rights of the underage, came under the jurisdiction of the Imperial court, the Reichshofrat; also, house laws depriving daughters of their reserved portion or formulating ebenbürtigkeit requirements were submitted for imperial approval. In fact, there is no known case of introduction of male primogeniture without imperial approval. Even then, imperial confirmations were not routinely published.

Government was ruled by the Herods, who were governors under the roman empire. We should supportour government, pay its taxes, and obey its laws, even though they http://www.twopaths.com/govern.htm
Extractions: The Hebrews of early Old Testament times were governed by leaders of their twelve tribes, with a central leader over all the tribes. Later, kings such as David and Solomon ruled the Hebrews. In 587 B.C., Babylonian forces devastated Jerusalem and subjugated the Hebrews. Later, the Jews were ruled by Persia, Greece, and the Roman Empire. In Jesus' time Palestine was ruled by the Herods, who were governors under the Roman Empire. Despite centuries of often oppressive foreign domination, both the Old and New Testaments stress the importance of government for protection and for maintaining order. We should support our government, pay its taxes, and obey its laws, even though they may be imperfect: Fear the LORD and the king, my son, and do not join with the rebellious, for those two will send sudden destruction upon them, and who knows what calamities they can bring?

Extractions: There were three main social classes in ancient Rome: patricians, plebians, and slaves. The aristocractic patricians were wealthy landowners, leading citizens, government officials, and very prosperous businessmen. The plebians were ordinary citizens, some very successful entrepreneurs others small businessmen. The slaves were owned by patricians and plebians; they performed all the manual labor in the Roman Empire, and some well-educated slaves served as doctors and teachers. This site describes the development of the Roman social classes, and the typical lifestyles and customs of each class. Social class in the Roman Empire was based on family relationships, land ownership, accumulated wealth, Roman citizenship, and free status. During the Roman Empire, specific rights and laws distinguished among members of the senate and patricians, plebeians, slaves, freedmen (former slaves who had earned or been granted their freedom), and non-Roman citizens (barbarians from newly conquered portions of the Roman Empire. It was possible for individuals and their families to move from one social class to another as their financial holdings increased. Roman society was also defined by an established system of patronage, in which an upper class patron supported a group of clients and freedmen; this support was generally in the form of financial aid, food, or legal assistance. In return, the patron received the clients' respect, gifts, visits, and political loyalty.

Extractions: Lessons from the fall of an empire By Harold James It is the time of year when people are casting about for good books to read to resolve the current perplexity. If you are sitting in Washington, there are few guides to the unique position of the US, whose military expenditure exceeds that of the next 14 countries combined. The most frequently cited historical parallels, Britain and its 19th-century pax Britannica, or 16th-century Spain, the first country to grasp New World prosperity to dominate the Old World, do not really fit modern America. Both were locked in rivalry with other nearly equal European powers: France and (in the British case) Germany. Washington readers could do worse than go back to a study of the first real exerciser of unipolar power, the Roman Empire. The book to read is Edward Gibbon's classic study, whose first volume was (by chance) published in 1776, the year of the signing of the American declaration of independence. Gibbon's advice immediately looks quite attractive and relevant to today. He begins with praise for the peaceful character of the Emperor Augustus and of Roman realism and multilateralism: "Inclined to peace by his temper and situation, it was easy for him to discover that Rome, in her present exalted situation, had much less to hope than to fear from the chance of arms; and that, in the prosecution of remote wars, the undertaking became, every day, more difficult, the event more doubtful, the possession more precarious, and less beneficial."
