	Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Based in Roman legal and cultural traditions, it was also heavily influenced by ancient Greek culture and language, and developed a distinct character that managed to survive and even thrive for another millennium, eventually being conquered on 29 May 1453 by the Ottoman Empire.
		The Western Roman Empire was divided among the eldest son Constantine II and the youngest son Constans.
		The Holy Roman Empire, an attempt to resurrect the Empire in the West, was established in 800 when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as Roman Emperor on Christmas Day, though the empire and the imperial office did not become formalized for some decades.

	Province - LoveToKnow 1911
		When the province of a quaestor is mentioned it refers to the province of the consul or praetor to whom the quaestor is subordinate.
		But the Roman governors were too apt to look on their provinces as their own peculiar prey; they had usually bought their way to office at vast expense, and they now sought in the provinces the means of reimbursing themselves for the expenditure they had incurred at Rome.
		Another class of imperial provinces consisted of those which from the physical nature of the country (as the Alpine districts) or the backward state of civilization (as Mauretania and Thrace) or the stubborn character of the people (as Judaea and Egypt) were not adapted to receive a regular provincial constitution.

	HONOURS FOR THE EMPERORS AND IMPERIAL CULTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Despite the views of Jews like the author of Revelation, who outright condemned any connection with Roman imperialism (he would not want you to honour the “whore” or the “beast”), other Jews and Christians, such as the author of 1 Peter (2:11-17), were more willing to demonstrate their honour without engaging in actual worship.
		In fact, failure to engage in sacrifices for the emperor and other gods became the test, in some circumstances, of whether one was a Christian or not (see the discussion of Pliny the Younger and the Christians in Bithynia and Pontus).
		Examples of this provincial level are the cult and temple for Domitian at Ephesos (built in the late 80s CE) and the cult and temple for Trajan at Pergamon (built in the early second century), which included festivals and games in his honour.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: Imperial Cults and the Apocalypse of John
		Abstract: Examines the relationship between imperial cults and the Book of Revelation, focusing especially on the Roman province of Asia during the early Empire.
		The main argument is that Revelation and imperial cult institutions were in direct contradiction regarding cosmology and eschatology.
		The exaggerated cosmology of imperial cult institutions resulted in an absurd eschatology – their emphasis on Roman imperial order was so strong that they could not envision an end to Roman rule.
