Caligula’s brief reign as princeps stripped away the illusion of the Augustan restoration of the republic and exposed the truth of the principate being nothing less than autocratic rule. His reign saw some significant historical changes in the imperial system. He ensured that upon his immediate accession his reign would not model that of his predecessor, a step that secured his popularity. His dutiful display of recovering his mother and brother’s ashes not only served out the purpose of securing the populace’s favour, but also his right to rule. However, Caligula’s behaviour spiralled out of control months later, contributing to the deterioration of his relationship with the senate and the Praetorian Guard, his embarkation of expansionism and change in provincial administration and causing some financial strain resulting from his lavish expenditure.…
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. Issues concerning the multiculturalism and borders of the two empires also appear to be similar.…

During his adolescence while these events were unfolding, it was rumoured and publicly known throughout Rome that Caligula adored his sister Drusilla, maybe a little too much. One source stated that “He caught in incest with his sister Drusilla while still in his teens.” This was not considered normal or righteous in Roman custom during Caligula’s age. However, during Tiberius’s reign as Emperor, his way of life and ruling would have influenced and changed Caligula’s view on how to rule as an Emperor. When Caligula was living with Tiberius at his Court in Capri, he was getting old and needed to find a successor and the only option was Caligula. However, the world Caligula endured at Capri, would have been nothing for which he would have seen,…

Livy also goes into greater detail concerning the passage as a whole, giving us a greater understanding of the context surrounding the passage, as…
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.…

The government of Carthage had been an aristocracy of nobles and wealthy merchants ruling the city to an oligarchical government. Having an oligarchical government meant that the power went from the rich to having on judge and two elected suffels in power. This meant that the people could have more of a say in what’s going on instead of all of the rich snotty people ruling over the poor people in the city. Having this type of system of government had a little more freedom towards the people in Carthage.…
"Great conquering nation of the world" (Morey, n.d) this was dubbed to the Roman empire, during the period where they had successfully conquered and colonized vast territories. However, unlike other ancient civilizations, the kind of treatment they had demonstrated with the inhabitants of their newly acquired colonial possessions were far different from other western civilizations. They have had governed them in a civilize manner specifically in organizing these territories as a compact society under its empire. When they had acquired the region of Latium in central western Italy, (Britannica, n.d) Romans had made a tremendous effort to strengthen the surrounding and remote towns of Latium using a particular policy, as its governmental platform.…
