After about eight weeks of exhibition, the NYS Board of Regents received hundreds of messages against the shoeing of the film. After reviewing the film, the board deemed it sacrilegious and it’s license was rescinded.

The Fall of West Rome Despite being one of the largest, most successful empires in the world, the Roman Empire faced a multitude of major issues for centuries, a majority of which ultimately led to its downfall. An early solution to these problems was to divide the empire into the east and west. While it allowed East Rome to avoid some of these issues, West Rome continued to struggle and this division eventually contributed to its collapse. One of the main issues stemmed from the fact that Rome was built on imperialism, which meant they had to continuously expand to sustain itself, leading to several problems with overextension, wars, and a lack of resources.

In Rome, much like in other areas of the world, there were specific times of day where people would dedicate themselves to eating. The times of day were similar to what is seen now in America, with a meal taking hold in the morning, midday, and evening. Though the meals evolved and changed as the empire itself did, one can look at the different meals and be able to make connections between them and those of today’s importance. Commonly in Rome the first acknowledgeable meal would be called ientaculum. It was not extraordinary and some citizens of the empire forwent it entirely.

The political context of the time period gives reasoning to Constantine’s conversion to Christianity, and thereby his motives for the creation of the edict. The Edict of Milan was written in 313 CE; directly following a victory by Constantine at Milvian Bridge in 312, which Constantine attributed to a sign from the Christian God.(1) Constantine believed the Christian God to be the most powerful of all the Gods; to not show support for the Christian God could mean to incur his wrath, but to make peace with him was to have a
