The Roman Empire was one of the most powerful, long-lasting empires this world has ever seen. Julius and Augustus Caesar both heavily contributed to Rome’s accumulation of power. Julius Caesar went on numerous conquests, winning over territory. Once he became the leader of Rome, he helped improve all aspects of Rome, including the citizens' lives. Shortly following his assassination, Augustus Caesar took over, implementing more laws and reforms, eventually transforming the republic into the Roman Empire.

In AD 284, Diocletian became the emperor and one of his first acts was to divide Rome. He took the eastand gave the west to his friend Maximian. Before Diocletian, farmers had been forced to work as slaves for other people, but Diocletian let them work back on their own land. He also fixed prices, so as to maintain the economy. He ruled until AD 305, then Constantine took over.
Justinian and Theodora - The Emperor Justinian reconquered western rome from the barbarians. The areas Justinian reconquered Western Rome are Italy, South Spain, and North Africa. He took Rome back for Ostrogoths. Emperor Justinian ordered to compile and simplify Roman laws are Greek and Latin scholars, Codex Justinian/Justinian Code.
This caused him to get proclaimed emperor in 284 CE. While being in control, Diocletian was leading troops and he gained a victory at River Marus. This then gained him complete control of the empire. So as you can see, Diocletian rose
Introduction Rome and Carthage were almost equal in strength and resources. From the early days of the Republic, Rome and Carthage maintained a friendly relationship and even signed a treaty against Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, who was a threat to both states. Comparison Ancient Carthage was a wealthy state with a small population, it employed foreigners to do the unwanted jobs and relied on foreign mercenaries rather than citizens to do her fighting. The mercenaries did not have a sense of belonging to the Carthaginian nation.
Some historians claim that there are as many as a hundred political and non-political interweaving reasons that led to the collapse of Roman Empire. One of the important political causes is the division of the Empire into two empires, the west (Latin) and the eastern (Greek, later known as the Byzantine empire) in 284 A.D. by Diocletian. This division was adopted to protect the over-expanding empire and to defend its borders against the Barbarian attacks. This was achieved initially as the two empires synchronized responsibilities and strengthened each.
Eventually the Roman empire grew to a size that could no longer be easily maintained and outer provinces began to lack order. When this came to Diocletian’s attention, he decided it would be best to split rome into the East and West because it couldn’t be effectively ruled by one man anymore. He kept the eastern part to himself because it was richer in resources and he anointed Maximian with power over the west. This split maintained until a civil war broke out in 306 and Constantine claimed ultimate victory, bringing the empire together under the rule of one emperor. When Constantine passed away, his three sons fought for the reigns and ended up dividing the empire into three part until one son, Valentinian, came out as the victor.
Romulus and Tatius ruled jointly over Rome. “A peace treaty was drawn up, and the communities merged under the joint rule of Romulus and the Sabine king, Titus Tatius.” (History) The citizens of Caenina, Antemnae, and Crustumerium rose up against Rome; fighting for the return of their daughters. Each battle raging furiously, the Sabine women pleaded for peace.
One of the most significant and memorable emperors in Byzantine history was Justinian I. During his reign from 527 to 565 C.E., Justinian 's main goal was to reconquer the area lost when the Western Roman empire fell. Significantly, his desire was to restore the empire’s Roman heritage as did many other eastern emperors. With the aid of a great general, Belisarius, areas in north Africa and Italy were under Justinian 's control temporarily. In addition, the army under Justinian was able to secure the borders and stave off attacks from the Sassanian Empire in Persia.
Eventually, Augustus conquered all of his enemies and his ally, Marc Antony, to achieve his goal of bringing Rome back to peace. At this time the Roman civilization had a Republic as their form of government
This new system was called tetrarchy. Dividing the empire into four sections left Diocletian's military power to hold ultimate authority. During his rule as emperor he persecuted Christians because he wanted the people to follow and perform traditional Roman religious practices. When Christians did not obey this edict that the emperors had passed, they persecuted them.
The second Punic war was a series of wars between the Roman Republic and the Carthaginian (Punic) empire around 218-201 BC. The war was brought about by the rapid growth of the Carthaginian dominion in Spain. The Romans won the war against the Carthaginians and gained control of the western Mediterranean and much of Spain. There were various outcomes after the victory of the Romans in the war. First, Masinissa, who provided service to Rome during the war, was crowned King of greater Numidia and the ally of Rome.
Rome responded by tricking the Carthaginian commander into negotiations then holding him ransom until he relinquished the city of Messana. Syracruse then aligned themselves with Carthage to drive out the Romans. If you recall, Rome had the more powerful military which was something that Syracruse had not counted on. Seeing this incredible show of Roman power, Syracruse changed
Julius Caesar was a politician, general, and dictator.

He brought a lot of change to Rome and was a very strong leader. Julius Gaius Caesar was born in Rome Italy, in 100 B.C., on July 13th.
