Roman Gaul

Comparison of Today
Today there are many ways we interact in the same ways as the
romans did. Many of our Government/Economics are similar.
Many people wanted and needed things in their life and they
would use currency to buy it.
Thesis
By looking at Roman Gaul History, one can see that they took over many city-states, which is
important because they had rule over most of the roman empire with a giant group of rulers.
What part of the roman empire did they control
Cisalpine Gaul or Gallia Cisalpina, was a region situated in the most northern part of the
Italian peninsula. This area covered the Apennines in the west to the Alps in the north, and
contained the plains of the Po River. Most

Guerilla-style warfare was also used to defeat Caesar.
Postumus & The Gallic Empire
The 3rd century CE was chaotic; the Alemanni attacked Gaul and Italy while the Franks
moved into Spain, completely destroying Tarraco in the process. The Pax Romana ? ?Roman
Peace? - was gone. Emperor after emperor rose to power only to fall victim to his own troops.
Fall of the Roman Empire
The next few years proved to be no better for Gaul. It would take over two years to restore
order. Two decades later the area would fall under Constantine. With his death in 337 CE, his
eldest son Constantine II gained control of Gaul, Britain, and Spain. Upon his death at
Aquileia, his brother Constans took sole leadership only to fall to a palace conspiracy and
yield the throne to his brother Constantius II in 353 CE. Eventually, Contantius II split his
power with his cousin Julian the Apostate. In 406 CE, Vandals were among many 'barbaric'
tribes to attack Gaul. Visigoths were next, and then there was Attila the Hun. By 476 CE,
Gaul had already been conquered by the Franks, Burgundians, and

The government serves to the city-state and the people that live in it. I think that Julius
Caesar was the longest living king there was in the Roman Empire and was the last king of
the roman empire. The government is totally different there are new laws and advanced
presidents.
Explaining how I met Civics/Government standards
I discussed all their control, raids, and E.T.C but there are many more events that happened.
Economics/Money/Decisions A need is something that somebody is in need for for example food is something
people would need. A want is something that someone doesn?t need but really wants. If
someone in the Roman Era wants to buy something expensive they will need to pay
with coins because they didn?t have paper money. Later on when they did have money
it wasn?t very much. Roman money systems have from a simple bartering method
using sheep. From using sheep, then metal bars, to using a sophisticated coinage
system, over hundreds of years.

Standards
I talked about their money system and how they started off with their money bartering and
what they bartered and what wants and needs
However, Rome entered into a long series of decline beginning with the death of Marcus Aurelius in AD 180. Meanwhile Marcus Aurelius instead of accommodate another successor he made a crucial mistake of naming his son Commodus as an emperor. Confronting this time of problems Rome desired a good and devoted leader. As a substitute of the carefree that Commodus was. The Roman Empire fell in AD 476 to Barbarians invaders as a result of the fall of Rome. This period of time became known as the “crisis of the third century.” At that time the empire was surrounded by economic, military, and politic problems.
The Troubled Families Agenda (2012) came about in response to Social need as it is a central concern of the welfare system, introduced by the coalition government. There are various types of need; Baldock (2012) introduced four types of need, these being Felt, Normative, Expressed and Comparative. Firstly, Baldock defined felt needs as what an individual believes they ‘need’ this can often be unrealistic and subjective to what the individual may want instead of need. Secondly normative, this is how an expert or professional identifies a need compared to a set of standards. Moving on to Expressed need, Baldock believed that this was where a felt need became a demand, it does not necessarily imply that people need it but are becoming demanding.
Justinian’s rule was one of a successful vision in which he revived Roman Authority through the Byzantium Empire through different campaigns to ‘take back’ what was once Roman territory in the 5th Century. By doing this and the ‘freak’ loss from the Plague and the damage to the Economical and Military perspective the Byzantium Empire was no longer economically able to defend their states and eventually fell when Constantinople was gained by the Ottoman-Turks. The extent in which Justinian revived the Roman Authority during his rule was astronomical and presented him with the depiction as one of the greatest Caesars during the Medieval timeframe. But through the events that took place to gain Roman Authority, the losses of financial power and population diminished and Byzantium rapidly declined after Justinian’s death and the Roman Authority was forever lost.
Constantine lived from 280-337 CE, and in 312 CE moved his army in on Rome and began his powerful uprising in the Mediterranean. Constantine looked to God in all his battles and it was said that he once saw an emblem and was told to put the symbol on his shield i...

After Rome fell, there was a power vacuum that needed to be filled. Germanic tribes which had invaded and conquered parts of the Roman Empire soon gained power in the regions they occupied. As time went on, Vikings, Muslims, and Magyars started to invade Europe.
Saxons from Germany began to assault and plunder the coasts of Britain, The Saxon’s raids start small and were easily defeated, but in 286 AD one group seized power over Britain for a decade until Emperor Constantius invaded and retook Britain. Back under Roman control, the people of Britain lived peacefully and began to prosper again. A few decades past and the Western Roman Empire went into economic and political decline. In 367 AD the Scots joined with the Saxons and began to raid Britain, but the Romans were able to keep order. The raids were contained until Roman soldiers began to be withdrawn in 383 AD and the raiding grew worse. The last of the Roman troops left in 407 and the Romano-Celts were left to defend themselves. “Roman Britain split into separate kingdoms but the Romano-Celts continued to fight the Saxon raiders.Roman civilization slowly broke down. In the towns people stopped using coins and returned to barter. The populations of towns were already falling and this continued. Rich people left to be self-sufficient on their estates. Craftsmen went to live in the countryside. More and more space within the walls of towns was giving over to growing crops. Roman towns continued to be inhabited until the mid-5th century. Then most were abandoned. Some may not have been deserted completely. A small number may have
Constantine went far beyond the Edict of Milan, which extended indulgence of Christians during the persecution. By 313 A.D., Constantine had donated the property of Lateran, where a new cathedral, the Basilica Constantiniana was soon built, to the bishop of Rome. Constantine had an arch erected in his honour at Rome after the defeat of Maxentius ascribed the victory to the “inspiration of the Divinity”. After his victory over Licinius in 324, Constantine wrote that he had come from the farthest shores of Britain as God’s chosen instrument for the suppression of impiety. Later, in a letter he proclaimed that he had come to bring peace and prosperity to all lands, with the help of God. He gave vast amounts of money from his own personal treasury to the churches of God, to help enlarge the sacred buildings and to decorate the sanctuaries. Throughout his life, Constantine ascribed his success to his conversion to Christianity and the support of the Christian
Rome was considerate as the most powerful of the ancient empire. 1For 2,000 years what had really captivate the historians, is the rise and fall of the Romans empire, including what they wore during this rime. Before becoming an Empire ruling by the Emperor Augustus around 27 B.C.E. - 476 C.E. Rome was a simple city ruling by king. This was when Rome was known as a Republic. Which was soon changed on government level because even with their powerful army they had lost control of the society they had expand. Conflict between cities and their armies soon took place, and tear a part the empire into a civil war. Nevertheless, the Roman Empire prospered for 200 years.They have built a vast system of roadway and waterways that connected

In the third conflict, Carthaginians tried to save their city and land from being taken over completely by Romans. In these wars, they mainly fought over trade routes in the Mediterranean. Each wanted power and more territorial possession. Crusades (11th Century-13th Century) in the Holy Land The emperor of the Byzantine Emperor was upset with Turks encroaching on his empire. He went to the Pope Urban II and complained.
Syagrius fled to the kingdom of Aralic. In another show of his power, Clovis scarred Aralic into giving Syagrius up or he would be marched on as well. Out of fear, Sygrius was given up to Clovis and secretly killed. This was the beginning of the power and respect that was to come for Clovis.
Constantine the Great, first Christian Emperor, originator of Constantinople, creator of the Byzantine Empire, military conqueror, and honored saint, has been labeled by many the most instrumental emperor of the Roman Empire. Constantine played a crucial role in the development of Europe during the Middle Ages, and founded Christianity as the formal religion of the Roman Empire. His dynamic yet effective predominance laid the infrastructure of European development. From his humble beginnings, to his command of the Roman Empire, to his final days, Constantine’s impact on world history and Christianity has left behind an unforgettable legacy. He was described by Eusebius as “such an emperor as all history records not.” Ware compared him to, “a watershed in the history of the Church.” Additionally, Meyendorff states, “No single human being in history has contributed to the conversion of so many to the Christian faith.” Norwich declared that “No ruler in all of history has ever more fully merited his title of ‘the Great’…Constantine has serious claim to be considered the most influential man in all of history.” Some of Constantine’s notable acts in the history of Christianity was his calling of the first Ecumenical Council at Nicaea, his institution of freedom for Christianity with the Edict of Milan, and the relocation of the capital of empire from Rome to Constantinople.
