    Caesar started many reforms, both social and political, some of which are still in play and an influence in America’s society today. Most of these reforms were in favor of the deprived and disadvantaged. He generated “implied laws,” one of which included the responsibility of the rich to help care for the poor. “Implied laws,” were laws that were in order and were carried out because Caesar urged the people very strongly but were not written down on paper. He established new public buildings and facilities and hired the needy to build those. This way, the empire of Rome was beautified and the unemployment rate was decreased. He also created new jobs and social well-being programs for those in need. These concepts are still in order in social…

    The Republican period of Roman history began in 509 BCE after the last Etruscan kings was dropped. The Republic was controlled by the Senate, which was an assembly by dominated upper-class families. This dominance by the aristocracy led to tensions between the social classes, especially among the lower classes who fought for equality in both the economy and the government. Despite these inner struggles, Rome's military power strengthened throughout the 5th and 4th centuries BCE and by 270 BCE they commanded the entire peninsula. 264 BCE brought the beginning of the three Punic Wars fought against Carthage over control of the western Mediterranean. These resulted in victories for Rome which granted them access to the wealth of Greece, Egypt,…

    Twelve Caesars

    • 1358 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In “Twelve Caesars”, Suetonius writes the anecdotal memoirs of the 12 kings of the Roman Empire, starting from Julius Caesar all the way till Domitian. His work is unparalleled in detail and is a rich primary source on the history of Rome. Suetonius writes a detailed memoir about each of the kings, outlining in vivid detail their actions, their lives, their accession to the seat of power and their deaths. There seems to be a general mix of virtue and vice in the character of these kings. Using the real life incidents occurring in their lives, Suetonius gives the reader an idea of the different good and bad qualities of these illustrious men as emperors. These kings exhibit qualities of being modest, just, doing public good, improving and repairing the building and infrastructure of the empire and improve the administration of the empire as well as vices of cruelty, incest, extravagance, decadence and vanity. In what follows, these qualities of what constitutes a good emperor and a bad emperor will be discussed with the help of Suetonius’ biographical memoirs in Twelve Caesars.…

    Today the New York Review of Books comments on social change: the roads are clogged with "retired farmers" who "leave for Florida in their fancy campers." John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath records an earlier time, depression days of Dust Bowl farmers, their farms blown away, heading in jalopies for California's golden groves. If modern America has any idea of Okies and hard times, it is largely due to Steinbeck's greatest work.…

By consoling power through the Roman system, he was elected as consul in 59 BCE which was followed by his invasion of Gaul in 55 BCE. Even though Julius was not capable of capturing Gaul, the campagin allowed him to pay off his debts and further boost his political career.

    A Walk Across America

    • 1079 Words
    • 5 Pages

    For my bookworm project I read the book called A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins. In 1973 Peter Jenkins sets off to discover America by hiking from New York to the Gulf of Mexico. Jenkins is part of a disillusioned generation fed up with the war in Vietnam, assassinations, social injustice, greedy corporations, and pollution. Recently divorced and newly graduated from Alfred College in New York State, he sets out on his quest with his dog Cooper, a large mixed Malamute. Hoping to find something better about the country he lives in, Jenkins takes the advice of a professor by arranging to photograph and document his journey on foot for The National Geographic Society. He started training months prior to his walk and felt good about his chances of succeeding. He walks from New York through Pennsylvania to Washington, DC where he is outfitted with his photography gear at NGS. He is stunned by the warmth and thoughtfulness he experiences at every turn of the road. When Cooper has unwisely attacked a porcupine and comes out of the scrap with dozens of painful quills about the face. It is a nameless stranger driving by who stops and spends more than a half hour extracting the potentially lethal barbs from the tranquillized pet. Jenkins is offered handouts of food, housing, and money to help him along the way. He encounters a true mountain man named Homer Davenport who warms to Jenkins companionship and offers to let him take over ownership of his humble dwelling and land. Walking in all kinds of weather enduring bitter, numbing cold and energy sapping heat and humidity, the pair of best friends trek southward, moving from one small hamlet to another. In one unfriendly town in North Carolina, he is suspected of being a drug dealer and is run out of town. Later, by chance, he winds up living with a loving and gracious black family named Oliver, headed by the fiery-willed mother, Mary Elizabeth, staying in their clean but cramped trailer. He finds work at a local mill…
