	History of Rome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rome grew from pastoral settlements on the Palatine Hill and surrounding hills approximately eighteen miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea on the south side of the Tiber.
		After the sack of Rome by the Normans in 1084, the rebuilding of the city was supported by powerful families such as the Frangipane family and the Pierleoni family, whose wealthy came indeed from commerce and banking rather than landholdings.
		Rome today is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to the incalculable immensity of its archaeological and artistic treasures, as well as for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its magnificent "villas" (parks).

	Rome: Imperial Rome
		The imperiate of Caligula, however, demonstrated how the emperor's rule was based on sheer military power; after the assassination of Caligula in 41 AD, the Praetorian Guard found Claudius cowering in the palace and declared him emperor.
		This period was the period of the greatest political stability in Imperial Rome after the age of Augustus; when Marcus Aurelius broke the pattern and was succeeded by his son, Commodus (180-192), all hell broke loose again.
		So, overall, the character of first century and second century Rome is a moralistic character, in which either the psychology of immorality as both seductive and destructive is explored by some writers, while other writers, such as Seneca and Tacitus, sternly condemn the degeneracy of the age.

		He marched at the head of his legions upon Rome, entered the gates, and "for the first time in the annals of the city a Roman army encamped within the walls." The party of Marius was defeated, and he and ten of his companions were proscribed.
		It was whispered at Rome, and not without truth, that he proposed to make Alexandria the capital of the Roman world, and announce Cæsarean, son of Julius Cæsar and Cleopatra, as the heir of the Empire.

	Roman Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rome's impact on the culture, law, technology, arts, language, religion, government, military, and architecture of Western civilization is a continuing legacy over one thousand years after the Empire ceased to exist.
		Others have claimed the legacy of Rome at various times; the Seljuk Turkish name for the Sultan was Sultan of Rum, indicating their belief they were the legitimate descendants and rulers of the Roman State.
		But excluding these states claiming their heritage, the Roman state lasted (in some form) from the founding of Rome in 753 BC to the fall in 1461 of the Empire of Trebizond (a successor state and fragment of the Byzantine Empire which escaped conquest by the Ottomans in 1453), for a total of 2214 years.

	SALVADOR DA BAHIA: A "MODERN" IMPERIAL ROME Education - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Both Rome and Brazil had their periods of grandeur, peace and prosperity, that historians refer to as "Imperial" - the former beginning with the reign of Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus or Augustus Caesar (27 B.C. - 14 A.D.) and the latter beginning with the reign of Portuguese Prince Dom Pedro in 1822.
		Rome is called the "Eternal City," and there is something in the title for scholars from all schools of thought, the Church Fathers, historians, archaeologists, sociologists, artists and architects, to name a few.
		But quite probably the reason that Rome is called the "Eternal City" is because of the lasting influence that it has had on the western humanistic tradition for thousands of years.

	David R Sear: Record of Natural Disasters on the Coinage of Imperial Rome
		He must have been extremely anxious that the gods were sending this sign of their displeasure at the very outset of his reign, and he may even have pondered on his destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem almost a decade before.
		Rome's fortunes were in serious decline and her borders were threatened by ever-increasing numbers of barbarian nomads.
		To conclude this brief survey of the numismatic record of natural disasters we advance to a much later age, when Rome was no longer the imperial capital and most of the former western provinces had became barbarian kingdoms.

		In fact, from the Republic onwards the Romans found it necessary to make regulations to control the thickness of walls, the quality of building materials, and the roofs and height of buildings.
		By the way, the rest of the book itself is impressive, but not quite what I hoped; awesome as a collection of portraits of cities at crucial and exciting moments in history, but not as good as I'd hoped on why some places/times are so special.

	RPGnet: Review of GURPS Imperial Rome, 2nd Edition
		Much of my disappointment stems from the fact that GURPS Imperial Rome is what it says on the cover: Imperial Rome, meaning "Rome with an emperor" (excluding republican times) rather than "Rome with an empire" (including at least the late republic).
		Before you start criticising me for bashing GURPS Imperial Rome for something it doesn't want to be, allow me to quote from the introduction: "This book describes Rome from its humble beginnings through the Republican days, the rise of the Empire, and the days of its division and downfall." This is simply not true.
		GURPS Imperial Rome, however, gives us too much unnecessary data in a form too condensed to be worthwhile yet too spacious to leave room for bringing them to life in the role-playing "conversion" of the setting.

	Legion XXIV - Legions of Imperial Rome
		The "Cohortal" Legions (c.106BC thru Imperial Period) varied in size from 4000 to well over 5000 legionaries, depending on the number (500 to 1000) of auxiliary soldiers, attached to them and the sizes of the Cohorts and Centuries of which they were composed.
		It moved to Rome and then was sent to Carnuntum (Petronell, north of Vienna) in Pannonia (Austria - Hungary).
		The Teutoburger Vald disaster was largely the result of treachery and treason of Arminius, a Germanic who had obtained the trust of Rome; and that the Legions were attacked in a forest swamp, a closed-in and restricting environment where the Roman Army was unaccustomed to doing battle.

		Barrett counters the mostly negative attacks on her character, arguing that much of what has been said about her is spurious.
		The book presents the general politics of the time and highlights other key figures from imperial Rome.
		Barrett's work is probably denser and more detailed than would interest the average reader, but for those keenly interested in studying ancient Rome it comes as a welcome addition to the genre.
