It became very easy for anyone around them to invade and take over land. These are all reasons the military effected the fall of Rome. The government also severely affected the fall of Rome. Lots
Askum traded with Zeila, Adulis and many more civilizations. Askum was in one of the best spots because it allowed several trade routes in major water ports where ships could enter making it so that they could import and export goods a lot easier than if they were on a land route. It is very similar to how ports today run, though today it would be a lot easier to get something from the inland to a ship on the coast because we have mail and other means of travel, back then they didn't have the sophisticated technology we have today, so they would have to use horses and other animals to get their trade to a boat or ship on the coast to trade with a country over the major waterways or sea. The major waterway the Askum had was the Red Sea. The Red Sea was connected the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.

Trade was important in Italy because it was in an ideal spot for trade being in the center of the Mediterranean Sea
1600 years ago the mediterranean people were doing the same thing that us modern day people are doing now, conquering, claiming, and fighting, but why were they doing this, and who were they doing it too? The Roman empire was one of the strongest empires in history, the “superpower of the Mediterranean world”. In 750 BCE Rome was founded and over time Rome’s wealth, territory, and popularity grew and grew as time went on. They conquered the land of Scotland and Spain, began to control the whole Mediterranean sea, established some colonies around North Africa, the middle east, Asia Minor, and Egypt. They were beginning to expand their empire into almost the entire continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa.
People were not working. Everything was out of control; it was a free-for-all. Judges 21:25 accurately describes Rome at this time “All the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes” (NLT). There was not enough people holding political power and the empire was becoming unmanageable. There were rebellions and surprise attacks.
From 300 to 1450, the trade networks between Africa and Eurasia showed consistency in the use of the same trade routes, but showed change in the amount of ideas spread throughout the trade networks. Throughout the trade networks between Africa and Eurasia, the continuities of the trade networks and the trade cities stayed the same. The use of the Mediterranean Sea trade, the Silk Road trade, and the Indian Ocean trade were continually used during the time period 300 to 1450. The trade routes were able to continue because of the consistent demand for goods such as spices and luxuries along the Silk Road, jewelry and gold in the Mediterranean Sea, and cotton and porcelain in the Indian Ocean between Africa and Eurasia.
The great Empire of Rome, the greatest power to have ruled the Mediterranean. The Roman empire thrived in the time of Julius Caesar around 47 BC. Caesar had made Rome into an empire, but after he died, Rome started its downfall. It was unthinkable. The great Roman empire’s reign was over.
Although trade did bring many countries together, it also caused a degree of conflict between some countries. For instance, while Venice at war, they worried that if they were to trade things such as iron, pointed stakes, ropes, or unfinished wood with the Saracens, they would use them for weapons against Venice and give them an advantage during the war (Doc.
According to TeachTci, the Han controlled salt and silk trade. Not only did they do this but they also traded goods to Egypt through camel, and to Rome by ship through sea routes. These trade routes later became some of the main routes for trading. The Han discovered how to harvest salt in areas that did not contain saltwater.
In the book Inside the Criminal Mind by Stanton Samenow, the idea that criminals commit crimes because of the environment or mental illness is an undying speculation. For instance, in the song “Gee, Officer Krupke” excuses are a thrown out for bad behavior, “delinquents were punks because their dads were drunks. They’re misunderstood rather than no good” (41). The juvenile's behavior is look at as more of a psychological or sociological problem than an actual crime. Adversities in life are unavoidable, these everyday struggles can be looked at as motivation or degradation.
However once Rome recognized the true threat they faced from Carthage they also began to expand their naval capabilities. They recognized that Carthage held an advantage on the sea due to their long history of seamanship so Roman ingenuity designed the the Corvus. This was 30 foot long gangway which could be lowered from the ship's bow on to the decks of enemy ships and secured with a huge metal spike allowing them to unleash a squadron of Roman fighters on-board the enemy ship. The Romans also copied the designs of ships they captured and Archemedes, who was the greatest inventor of the age, came up with many improvements and original designs that turned many ships into "machines of war". These innovations allowed Rome to finally become a strong and great naval power coupled with the ships confiscated from
This sea also allowed for much more transportation for this empire. Along with trade Rome got much more control of new land which granted the empire a greater control over the surrounding areas. The new Romans made it possible for a new presence which assisted Rome in maintaining control of the region Ultimately the capturing of Gaul allowed for many new resources and new trade routes for the Empire. This empire needed to keep getting better with the new advantages that Gaul had given them because they had taken over such an important region like
In my discussion forum post for this unit I will discuss the overall effect slavery had on the Roman economy. Discussion In ancient times, when a civilization defeated a rival army in battle, instead of killing those on the losing side, it was common practice to punish the loser by enslaving them (Kamm, 2009a). Moreover, the Romans were no exception to this rule, employing captured slaves throughout their empire (Kamm, 2009a).
