Notes

  • Ancient Rome and Early Christianity (500 BCE- AD 500)
  • Power and Authority- Rome began as a republic, a government in which elected officials represent the people. Eventually, absolute rulers called emperors seized power and expanded the empire
  • Empire Building- At its height, the Roman Empire touched three continents (Europe, Africa, Asia). For several centuries, Rome brought peace and prosperity to its empire before its eventual collapse
  • Religious and Ethical Systems- Out of Judea rose a monotheistic religion known as Christianity. Based on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, it soon spread throughout Rome and beyond.
