	Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Generally, an empire is defined as a state that extends dominion over areas and populations that are culturally and ethnically distinct from the culture at the center of power.
		Empires predate the Romans by several hundred years: Egypt, for example, created an empire in the 16th century BC by invading and then incorporating Nubia and the ancient city-states of the Levant.
		A discontinuous empire is one in which the ruled territories are overseas or are exclaves far from the imperial core.

		Due in part to the religious significance attached to the Arabian horse, as well as the contribution it made to the wealth and security of the tribe, the breed flourished in near isolation.
		The Arabian horse was primarily an instrument of war, as were horses in general in most societies of the time.
		The Arabian gentleness and tractability, while originally the effect of education, is now inherited, and is observed in foals bred in a foreign environment.

		Often these multi-ethnic entities were strengthened by the introduction of a common religion, as was the case under Constantine I of the Roman Empire.
		For example, the former Soviet Union fits many of the criteria of an empire, but nevertheless did not claim to be one, nor was it ruled by a traditional hereditary "emperor" (see Soviet Empire).
		An empire can also refer to the large economic holdings of one person, usually including the ownership of many different businesses and corporations.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Arabian School of Philosophy
		Until the eighth century the Arabians, although they expressed their religious feelings in a somewhat mystic poetry, failed to give expression to their thoughts about the world around them, except in so far as those thoughts may be said to be expressed in the Koran.
		Therefore, whenever the Arabians had the courage of their convictions they taught more or less openly that God, the First Mover, is really the subject of movement, that He and the Universe are substantially identical.
		When Arabian works were translated into Latin the translation was often made from the Hebrew translation of the Arabic text, and the Jew was often the only means of interchanqe of ideas between Moorish and Christian Spain.

	Empire
		Land-based empires (such as Mongol or Achaemenid Persia) tend to extend in a contiguous area; sea-borne empires, also known as thalassocracies (the Athenian and British empires provide examples), may feature looser structures and more scattered territories.
		Compare the concept of "empire" with that of a federation, where a large, multi-ethnic state — or even an ethnically homogeneous one like Japan or a small area like Switzerland — relies on mutual agreement amongst its component political units.
		An Emperor-based empire can readily become (say) a republic by means of a coup (Brazil, 1889; Central African Empire, 1979); or it can become a republic with its dominions reduced to a core territory (Germany, 1918–1919), Ottoman Empire (1918–1923)).

		The Catholic nations are a legacy of the Roman Empire which adopted Christianity as its official religion during the reign of Emperor Constantine (who ruled from 306-337).
		The Orthodox Christian nations owe their religion to the Roman Empire's adoption of Christianity as a state religion followed by the split in 1054 of the Western Church that became the Roman Catholic Church, and the Eastern Church, which became the Orthodox Churches.
		The Jewish presence in the Mediterrean originally predated that of the Greek Empire, but the Jewish community was scattered after the Jewish Temple was destroyed about 70 CE in an experience referred to as the Jewish Diaspora that spread Jews around the world with communities spread from Spain to India to Germany and elsewhere.

	CMK Arabian Horses: CMK Mare Families
		THE FIRST ARABIAN MARE TO come to North America and leave modern descent, and the oldest mare in the Arabian Horse Registry of America, is *NAOMI, foaled in England in 1877.
		It was probably with this in mind that in 1921 and '22 he imported Arabian horses from France, a country long esteemed for breeding cavalry horses.
		The timeless quality of CMK mares should be obvious to all fanciers of the Arabian horse, but it would appear to fall to a few to recognize that an effort must be made to conserve the identity of these irreplaceable lines for posterity.

		Though their home is California, they are Polish Arabians, heirs to a prized but little-known line of the original Arabian breed, one that today carries on an illustrious and embattled legacy.
		As a result, many Arabians came to Poland with envoys or traders returning from Constantinople, and they were an important, high-value component of the fitful trade between the states.
		Johnson's Naborr sold for $150,000 in 1961; another top Polish Arabian, Celladin, brought $880,000 in 1981, and today it is not uncommon for a leading horse to sell at or near $1 million—showing that Poland's Arabian horses are a valuable commodity as well as a living link with history.

		But for the victory at Tours, the Koran might now be taught in the schools of Oxford, and her pulpits might demonstrate to a circumcised people the sanctity and truth of the revelation of Muhammed.
		The establishment of nine separate independent dynasties within the empire hastened its downfall, and by the middle of the tenth century the caliphs of Bagdad were reduced by the internecine strife of their military guards to the primitive simplicity of the founder of their faith.
		Despoiled of their armour and their silken robes, they fasted, they prayed, and studied the Koran and the tradition of the Sunnites, bore with religious fortitude the triumphs of the insolent Fatimites, and witnessed the recovery of Antioch, the cities of Cilicia, and Cyprus by the Greeks, and a revival of the Roman fortunes.

		The Roman Empire, successor of the Roman Republic, controlled the Mediterranean world and much of Northern Europe after 31 B.C. The last Roman emperor in the western half of the empire was deposed in 476.
		As Emperor, Augustus organized the affairs of his empire with aplomb; it is largely due to his genius that the Roman Empire lasted for as long as it did.
		In fact, Augustus's control of power throughout the Empire was so absolute that it allowed him to name his successor, a custom which had been abandoned and derided in Rome since the foundation of the Republic.
