Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire\n© Student Handouts, Inc.\nwww.studenthandouts.com\nClick to edit Master title style\nWhat was the Roman Empire?\nThere were two periods of Roman government.\nRoman Republic\n509 BCE-30 BCE\nRoman Empire\n30 BCE-476 CE\nRome technically had an “empire” under the Roman Republic.\nBut the term “Roman Empire” refers to the time period, beginning with Augustus, when Rome was ruled by emperors.\nOctavian Becomes Augustus\nOctavian was sole ruler of Rome after his forces defeated Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium\nThe Senate gave him the name “Augustus,” meaning “most high”\n23 BCE – Octavian, now referred to as Augustus, was made consul for life by the Senate\nAlso made “Princeps,” meaning “first citizen”\nOrigin of the word “prince”\nAlso made “Imperator,” meaning “successful general”\nOrigin of the word “emperor”\nAlso made “Pontifex Maximus,” or “chief religious leader\nOrigin of the word “pontiff” (used to describe the pope today)\nAlso made a tribune\nHe had the power to call the Senate, veto the Senate’s laws, and make laws himself\nPrimus inter pares\n“First among equals”\nAugustus and later emperors tried to maintain the façade that they were elected officials rather than dictators\nBeing “first among equals” gave the illusion that an emperor was the most prestigious and important member of the Roman Senate, but that each senator was simultaneously equally important\nIn reality, the Roman emperors ruled with little input from anyone else\nRome under Augustus:\u000bA Golden Age\nPax Romana – Roman Peace\nRome controlled the entire Mediterranean region and beyond\nComplete control = almost no warfare\nThis peace lasted nearly 200 years\nMore and more provincials were granted official Roman citizenship\nRoman Emperors after Augustus\nGreat variety in the quality of those emperors who succeeded Augustus\nThe office of emperor was initially designed to be hereditary\nBut from the start, there was confusion as to which family member would inherit the throne\nSome emperors proved to be cutthroats, or insane, or both\nThe military came to play an enormous role in selecting who would become emperor\nTiberius (14-37 CE)\nStepson of Augustus\nAbolished the Assembly\nCapable general who extended the frontier in the north\nStrengthened the empire\nAppeared to dislike ruling, and gradually retired to the island of Capri\nCaligula (37 CE-41 CE)\nSon of famed military leader Germanicus, the nephew and adopted son of Tiberius\nEarned his name “Caligula,” meaning “little boots,” by the Roman army as a child (he was dressed like a soldier)\nTwo years of good, effective rule, interrupted by a severe illness, and followed by two years of horrible rule\nMembers of family and perceived enemies\nExiled some, killed some, and forced others to commit suicide\nAssassinated in 41 CE by members of the Praetorian Guard\nClaudius (41-54 CE)\nBrought southern Britannia (what later became Great Britain) under Roman control, as well as several kingdoms in the East\nOpened the Senate up to provincials\nBecame emperor because he was the last adult male of his family (brother of Germanicus and uncle of Caligula)\nConducted a census of the empire in 48 CE\n5,984,072 Roman citizens\nNero (54-68 CE)\nConsidered a tyrant\nCame to power after his mother allegedly poisoned his predecessor, Claudius\nMurdered his mother, his stepbrother, and two of his wives\nAlso killed his teacher, the famous philosopher Seneca\nFire in Rome (64 CE)\nNero was accused of setting the fire, and of fiddling while the city burned\nNero blamed the fire on the new religious group known as “Christians”\nForced to commit suicide\nClick to edit Master title style\nYear of the Four Emperors (69 CE)\nBrief period of civil war after the death of Emperor Nero\nFour emperors ruled in quick succession\nGalba\nOtho\nVitellius\nVespasian\nIllustrated the problems of imperial succession\nVespasian (69-79 CE)\nBuilt the Colosseum in Rome\nPlace where gladiatorial combats were held\nFirst Jewish Revolt (66-70 CE)\nDestruction of the
