ASMR | Ancient Rome! - The Rise & Fall : Whispered History Book Reading - In the Beginning

Hello everyone, this is Kate, and the voice of the illustrated history book, The Rise and Fall of Ancient Rome. Illustrated in military and political history, our world is quite disparate, unlike the world of the Empire, the West, Now this book belongs to our daughter, and we saw it on a bookshelf in her house, and said, Oh, can I borrow that? I haven't seen that one before. I borrowed it to share with you. Since its writing, it has raised an authority, and informed care to the government, and our nation. A book of 170 paragraphs, illustrations, maps, diagrams, pre-patterns, military campaigns, past events, and more. A highly beautiful book of history, of the military, of the political power, of the government. So let's take a look inside. So, I'm going to open it up. It's going to be lovely to look at inside. So it's published in H.R. 2004, since 2002. Let's take a look at its page. The archetypal Empire. Archetypal. Archetypal's first name is Rome. The world's first superpower. An opportunity is the power of Rome. The archetypal Empire. As you can see, we have a map of the Empire, and D2 printed. It's interesting how much the map stretches from the east to the south. And it was huge. So I'm going to look at these pictures as timelines. The rise and fall. So let's do a bit of reading from the first part. What were the world's first superpowers? The rise of Rome. From mythically simple beginnings of a few dwellings upon the middle of the plateau to the beginning of the whole Mediterranean world were seen by Romans themselves The qualities on which the Romans prided themselves piety, fidelity, modesty, virtues, meaning the courage, ability, strength, and excellence were what made their Empire possible. Indeed, invincible, so long as its citizens retained their realm of the main mistress of the world. What did you all come up with about Rome? It's that almost without exception it conquered all other powers making it the sole superpower of the ancient Mediterranean world. This was featured by many of the great civilizations of antiquity, Egypt, Babylon, Carthage, Etruscan, Greek, Convergent, Oriental, Eastern, China, and the Bible. Rome's stability palpable in Egypt. Rome was the earliest ancient civilization to the Middle East and Mediterranean absorbing and propagating the cultures while adding its own distinct developments to make a civilization of its own. Rome, like the Earth, did not have the laptops, its great architectural and genetic feats, aqueducts, arches, roads, the portals, the corpus of Babylon, the Catholic Church, and the idea of a universal empire that could extend its benefits to all countries around it. Irrespective of racial background, Rome gave a huge earth and centuries of peace, but it imparted also the idea of a universal, basic, benevolent state. This is what Rome, climate, culture, as well as political supremacy, that continues to inspire and influence the world of all countries. Chapter 1. An Empire of Thoughts and Thoughts Rome did not acquire its empire in feudalistic victories, but peacemaking, sometimes unintentionally, if ever, but peaceably. Rome's growth from a small settlement on the Tiber to a great empire was largely due to its military prowess and ruthless aggressiveness. Military service was a central part of life for Roman citizens. Adaptable, superbly disciplined, and incredibly tough, the Roman army made Rome a people of power. This gradual and methodical process took many hundreds of years. While such an approach may have lacked glamour, it certainly created an empire that proved very unbeatable. If most Romans experienced starvation, many also avoided it. Rome, irrespective of law and legality, offered a loosely written constitution that long safeguarded the civilian basis of politics for a surprising and long term. The Roman army did not need to be settled at first. Its generals, no matter how great their victories, had to relinquish their commands as they entered the city, becoming ordinary citizens again, unliable to prosecution for any misconduct. Even the emperor did not quit to be both law and war a doker, simply a dress, not a harlot. Rome also freely extended its citizenship to other cities, one of the main secrets of its success as a people of power. LEGENDARY BEGINNINGS 753-509 B.C. According to legend, Rome was founded in 753 B.C. by Romulus Aurelius, twin princes of Apollonca, supposedly itself founded for centuries earlier by Aeneas, a tragic prince. The twins, his distant descendants, abandoned his babies on the waters of Abyglos. He would usurp their kingdom and obtain their tax. Miraculously, a sheep of the kingdom of Apollonca, never brought upon hostilities, a kindly shepherd, and about the time when it grew up, they killed the usurper and together founded a new city, Rome. But they soon quarreled. Romulus killed Apollonca, which had become a splendid backdrop. Romulus then populated Rome by inviting her wives and her husband to join him, and by abducting the young women of his neighbors, the famous great Apollonca people. When the people marched back to reclaim their land, the mighty, by now used to Roman wives, intervened to prevent battle and led the peoples into battle. Romulus later ascended to heaven in a thunderstorm, becoming a mother. From such violent and bleak beginnings, a splendid city, Rome. The early settlements. Archaeology tells us that by the mid-8th century BC, an unimpressive settlement existed on the Palatine Hill. The latter Romans were actually not even farmers or shepherds. The Latins being a subgroup of the Italian peoples, living in separate villages of small huts on the Palatine and Esquimine Hills. Beneath and between these hills were marshy valleys, with a spiral to the left where Rome could look out at the country. This was not a particularly healthy or fertile spot, but an island and two villages. In the midst of a vast plateau, it offered the first practical classical proof of a city. Sixty miles or twenty-five kilometers distant, while the hills provided good defensive positions. The settlements remained extremely primitive up to the time. Once again, enshrined in May are the Etruscan kings, who traditionally traveled from 616 to 511 BC. Certainly not about this town, Rome came into this realm by the Etruscans. They were a civilized people who dominated Italy, from the mine to the bay and the port. Rome took a strategic position at either, and the Etruscans, approaching the height of their power, inevitably wanted to control over it. In close contact with the Greek cities to the south, whose art influenced the particular travel of their art, the Etruscans were agile, even at a distant place. They were fond of the arts, and they loved bankrunts and athletics. Also, their surviving provinces and cheap paintings suggested that they still could not fully read their language. Even though, like the Roman alphabet, this is a version of the Greek alphabet, the Etruscans did not learn the language. And yet, it is probably true to say that the kings of the 12 cities rather than the Etruscan villages. Therefore, Rome, the marketing place of the city and the nature of the empire, was established on a great marshland and paved, as was then, for the poor cattle getting close to the river. The darkness of the Etruscans, the good dark, grew to between circa 616 and 579 BC, held the first census. Citizens were organized into different tribes, each having ten cunaric courts. For these thirty courts, the kings chose 300 patricians or heads of extended families to sit in the advisory council to announce the senate. And the first senate, the comitia comiata, was also thought to have emerged about this time, the spouse of a king. Priscus, successor, king's servants, tutors, reorganized the state, dividing it into five classes according to their wealth. Each class was divided into centuries. Each century being roughly equal in wealth. All the citizens were liable, but only serviceable for those in the last to poorest class, who could not provide to all themselves. A legion of their people had 6,000 infantry and 300 cavalry. The cavalry being provided by the richest century. In newly appointed comitias, century after, or assembly by hundreds, each century acted as a single block with the richest and smallest century voting class. The vote was decided as an absolute majority of centuries was reached, which inevitably came to the reach of centuries, those noble ones, and the poorest and biggest centuries, at least. Rome never operated on principle, on man, on vote. At this time, Rome acquired hostility at the mouth of the Tiber, as well as its spouse putting a bridge across the river. The people declined to do the construction of the first temple to Jupiter, King of the Gods, on the capital island of originally simply constructed the Tiber was later built ever more splendid and became the symbol of Roman power. The founding of the Republic around far unknown peace, the kings were sudden and finally expelled, and the word Etruscan, like the word king, became an insult to the Romans. According to legend, the last Etruscan king, Togolese, sypilus, meaning the bird, said act of the Roman nobles that it drove out the declared Republic, which dominated the Senate. From now on, the state was governed by unelected officials, a new regime based on puritanical patriotic virtues of courage was established that would serve well through its economic struggles. The conquest of Italy from 501 to 266 BC After the expulsion of the Etruscan kings, Rome became as well powerful. The other cities of Latia, which were similar in language, body, and culture to Rome, turned against them, surrounded by enemies, especially the Samnites to the east and the Bolsheviks to the south. Rome was forced to ally itself with their equal terms of power was never to accept equality in any city of Rome. The violence of the Peloponnese in such a way the advent of the Republic caused economic slump, the stricter of their big conflict, which was known as the Conflicts of the Orders or Classes between the people, Peloponnese, and the Etruscans. It is not known as the family who traced their descent from the original seven members, and who still monopolized power. In a fortnight of peace, the Peloponnese were regarded as moderately rich citizens and many Tibetan farmers or artisans, threatened to secede or stay to leave Rome. These people fought the cause of the army, so it was a very serious threat. After several attempts, the Peloponnese threat worked. They acquired two tributaries for the people, special officials to defend their interests. Later, in a fortnight of peace, their numbers increased to ten, and they were given special status, regarded as sacrosanct or defended by the gods. In a fortnight of peace, the tribunes summoned a special assembly of the plebs to look inside existing houses. At least ten of the patricians could attempt to offer tables. Only four or five seats of peace allowed us to sit down, twelve tablets of stone for anyone to sit. These tables offered us to pieces of legal precision became the foundation of justice. In a fortnight of peace, the first European questons reflected at 4367 BC, one of the two consuls at the top of the straits led the others out to Peloponnese. The patricians tried to transpass the consul's paths to an official bequest, but from 337 BC there was also a Peloponnese pointer. Finally, in 287 BC alone, the Lex Hortensia Romanos, when he adopted their proposal, declared that plebiscites, boats and the plebeian assembly could become law. This completed a social revolution in our culture, albeit with much dispute, and is an example of the Roman genius of pragmatism. Expansion and invention Throughout this domestic turmoil, Rome steadily expanded its influence and territory to the north, just across the Tiber, still the wealthy Etruscan city of Umbria. Controlling a network of roads, Rome became involved in an intermittent political war. With this great rival, its antidote to camels made emergency food hard to come back continuously, without even stopping the harvest, and used a drainage tunnel to capture feed. In 396 BC, this was a very important conquest of an antidote to Rome's territory, and the way to the truth. Tuscany, however, was open. A few years later, however, Rome faced a key danger. A horde of Gauls, barbarous cats, swept Italy through 90 BC. Rome sent one of its armies, 15,000 men, to face them. But the Gauls, twice their number and better fighters, were destroyed almost completely. The city lay defenceless, and most Romans fled, apart from a dozen of the capital army, and some elderly senators, who must have been prevented, were told to avoid the enemy peoples. A general massacrage took Rome's burden to the ground. Maastricht, and Benicillo, Italy. After this disaster, many attempted to abandon Rome, but the Gauls rallied them to rebuild the city. In 378 BC, the city was constructed. It was 12 feet 3.6 meters thick, and 21 feet 7.5 meters high, and it closed 1,000 acres of 427 hectares. Then, a huge error. Rome could not afford to bother the city again for 800 years. Troubles with Rome's flooding allies followed, however. After peaceful efforts, a deal was made with England, affording the people to totally divide the city, before the Romans gained a final victory in 338 BC. The Latin League was dissolved, each city being linked to Rome, obtaining internal order. Many given cities were shipped without property rights. Civitas, Sene, Soprano. This awful status satisfied the Latin cities, and was a stroke of political genius. Another series of wars came to the southern lands, lasting nearly 40 years, with Rome suffering a major defeat in 321 BC. But again, Rome rallied. The Latin city remained loyal. On the first great Roman road, the Via Appia, was constructed as a supply dock in the south. The war ended in 290 BC, with Rome undisputed mistress of central Italy. Rome now came into contact with the Greek cities of southern Italy. A dispute with the largest territory led to war in 280 BC. The Tarantines arrived to king Pyrrhus of Epirus, having now taken most of Italy down. Pyrrhus' army conquered all of Athens, the first of central Italy, and he defeated the Romans twice, marching mighty to Galatia. But Rome adapted its infantry tactics to conquer the Athens and to conquer Greek Spain. By 270 BC, Pyrrhus had left Italy and returned and built the Greek cities of central alliance around the peninsula of Italy. Rome was supreme. Okay, I've got to leave you there. Next time, we'll take a look at the growth of Empire 2603. Peace. This has been Kate at the Library of Wisdom saying I shall see you next time. Bye-bye.
