    Han and Rome

    • 459 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Rome and the Han dynasties both had shared specific qualities. Both of these empires contained upper level social classes. Within each class, there were people who obtained land and large estates, as well as having peasants who lived in smaller farms and worked for the upper classes. These empires both incorporated some form of a patriarchal structure; therefore the women living amongst these dynasties were subordinate to men and often had defined roles within the family. This was the case in all of the Classical empires, women were inferior and had lesser roles than that of men. Also, Han and Rome had huge gaps between the rich and poor, thus causing increased social tension. Most of the land inhabiting these areas ended up accumulating in the hand of the wealthy because the poor were unable to pay for their land. The land distribution problems cause banditry and rebellion amongst the poor, such as the Yellow Turban uprising in Han China.…

    The Roman empire and the Han empire collapsed for similar reasons as well as some different reasons. Firstly, both Rome and China’s governments became an ineffective way to control an empire. Secondly, nomadic tribes invaded both Rome and China. These tribes broke into their respective empires and laid waste to the land. Yet differences exist between the collapse of the two empires. A large part of the collapse of Rome was due to inflation. The Han empire was not as affected by inflation as the Roman empire was.

    There has been an ongoing debate between scholars and historians on if the term Dark Ages truly describes the period after the Roman Empire demise. Due to a lack of record keeping, literature and culture tracking there has been a misconception that the time period called the Dark Ages due to being dark times and because there was some sort of regressive thinking process. But we now have the ability to trace things back to the period that suggest otherwise. Feudalism was the system of political rule at the time and by its nature it did not allow for opportunities to be given to the poor which in turn affected their living conditions. Many ended in slavery type relationships with lords or land lords etc. To add salt to injury the…
