A notable similarity between Ancient Rome and modern day America lay in their military. Both Rome and America, according to Cullen Murphy, have a military that is too small for the tasks given to it. Murphy also pointed out a similarity in each empires government. Rome began to give all the power into the hands of the executive which left the government not functional, and he sees this happening in the United States government and fears that one day America's government will end up like Rome's.

This military over extension, in addition to bring security of the government interest, it also very expensive, which subtracts money to people needs, such as education, wages, and infrastructure works. According to the article by A. Evans “The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire vs. United States Are We Parallel” the US government spends the same as 9 countries spends together in the army.

Just as Rome had many changes in their Caesars, we have had many changes in government positions due to decisions from our recent president. We also share a dominant military power. This contributes to the downward spiral of both nations because it is very expensive with little reward in return.…
The United States and the Roman Empire share many differences and, even more, similarities. Some are evident while others are hardly noticeable. The Roman Empire faced attacks from the Huns like we face attacks from terrorists. Natural disasters caused many deaths and they still do today. The Romans lack of care and negligence for their well-being cost them in battle. The same will probably happen to us. It may not really seem like it but the United States is following in the footsteps of the Roman Empire. The similarities of the foreign threats, natural and environmental disasters, and laziness may be what will cause the fall of the United States.…

These orders differentiated in many different ways whether it be the elaborateness of shaft or the general stance of the entire pillar. Another thing the Greek’s were able to master was the painting of objects and…
