DBQ Technology in the Han and Roman empires had come a long way since earlier times. However‚ some of the people of these great states seemed to take this for granted. At least that was the attitude I got from three of the documents provided. But‚ mostly the attitude was positive.

linked the history of European imperialism very closely to the legacy of the Roman Empire.

Today‚ I will bring to your attention the recent gladiator protests against oppression before their battles. During these protests‚ approximately 800 gladiators kneeled down‚ locked arms‚ or did not come out into the arena before their battles‚ an action of disrespect to me. These gladiators have only one task‚ to fight for our entertainment. They do not have the right to express their opinions. This is an issue that must be fixed immediately because if we do not‚ then they will rebel against us
