	Roman Empire - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Roman Empire is also used as translation of the expression Imperium Romanum, probably the best known Latin expression where the word "imperium" is used in the meaning of a territory, the "Roman Empire", as that part of the world where Rome ruled.
		Roman titles of power were adopted by successor states and other entities with imperial pretensions, including the Frankish kingdom, the Holy Roman Empire, the first and second Bulgarian empires, the Russian/Kiev dynasties, and the German Empire.
		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.

	Roman law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditionally, the origins of Roman legal science are connected to Gnaeus Flavius: Flavius is said to have published around the year 300 BC the formularies containing the words which had to be spoken in court in order to begin a legal action.
		Roman law as preserved in the codes of Justinian and in the Basilika remained the basis of legal practice in Greece and in the courts of the Orthodox Church even after the fall of the Byzantine empire and the conquest by the Turks.
		It was because Roman law regulated the legal protection of property and the equality of legal subjects and their wills, and because it prescribed the possibility that the legal subjects could dispose their proprety through testament.

		It was the greatest defeat ever inflicted on Roman troops and remains a textbook case of the destruction of a larger army by a smaller one.
		Roman senators were unwilling to address the problems of the army, the noncitizen Italian allies, the urban poor, the exploited provincials, or the brutality of the slave plantations.
		Roman politicians and their families were also linked by a network of personal, financial, and marriage ties that were described by the general term of amicitia (friendship).

	Roman assemblies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Roman assemblies were the Comitia Calata, the Comitia Curiata, the Comitia Centuriata, and the Comitia Tributa.
		Unlike legislatures in countries such as the United States, the Roman assemblies were seen to embody the People of Rome, not merely being an appointed body of representatives, and thus possessed ultimate legislative powers, including the ability to pass ex post facto laws and bills of attainder.
		The Assembly was generally called to the Campus Martius, which was large enough to accommodate the full male citizen population of Rome.

	Roman Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Roman Senate (Latin, Senatus) was a deliberative body which was important in the government of both the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire.
		The sum total of the Roman population was divided into two classes, the Senate and the Roman People (as seen in the famous abbreviation SPQR); the Roman People consisted of all Roman citizens who were not members of the Senate, such as the plebeians and proletarians.
		Actual legislation was vested in the aforementioned Roman assemblies and the Plebeian Council, which acted on the Senate's recommendations and also elected the city's magistrates.

		The toga was the characteristic garment of the Roman citizen.
		Roman republican government was a complex system, which seems to have had several redundancies within it, and was based on custom and tradition, as much as it was on law.
		Roman victories at Thermopylae (191 BC) and the Battle of Magnesia (190 BC), forced Antiochus to sign the Treaty of Apamia (188 BC), ceding Seleucid territory to Rome and Pergamon, and extracting a war indemnity of 15,000 talents of silver.

		It included a popular assembly (or assemblies) and an aristocratic body - called the Senate - in the case of Rome.
		The assembly represented the most democratic element of Roman government and yet, because it was unwieldy, allowed the Senate to assume a more prominent role in governing.
		The Roman Senate, in its rise to prominence, had to overcome one serious handicap - it did not have the authority to enact legislation.

	Roman Assemblies
		It was their entry into the house which saw the assembly become a body of experienced magistrates, rather than merely being the privileged nobility.
		Its influence decreased in the later republic, being eclipsed by the comitia tributa and the concilium plebis.
		The comitia tributa, the tribal assembly, was made up of spokesmen for the 'new' tribes, as initially defined by king Servius Tullius.

	Roman Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the early and middle Republic, the Roman Senate, highest in prestige and being composed of the aristocratic, rich, and politically influential (towards the end of the Republic, it was exclusively composed of ex-magistrates), was predominant in the state.
		The final confrontation of the Roman Republic occurred on 2 September 31 BC, at the naval Battle of Actium where the fleet of Octavian under the command of Agrippa routed the combined fleet of Antony and Cleopatra; the two lovers fled to Egypt.
		The Roman Empire was eventually divided between the Western Roman Empire which fell in 476 AD and the Eastern Roman Empire (also called the Byzantine Empire) which lasted until the fall of Constantinople in 1453.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.09.68
		Yet the Roman world of the late Republic also, famously, ceased to cohere: after 100 BC "the scale of Roman society" -- in terms of the size of both the citizen population and its competitive, "vastly expanding" leadership -- "began to overwhelm the public lawmaking process and the political system as a whole" (431).
		No: the "interest and involvement of the Roman people were critical," their political vigor has been underestimated, and on law-making occasions the people could be aggressive, asserting their will by going against the wishes of the Senate (108-9 at 109); in short, they were "actively engaged" (110).
		A related contention is that assemblies enjoyed "a central position in Roman society" (xiii): by creating legitimate law, they expressed and enacted the sovereignty of the people, which permitted them (and them alone) to resolve the most important conflicts.

		The Roman politician does not represent a geographic area and his position of power and prospects for advancement rest with the voters.
		He goes on to argue that the Roman candidate / patron is somewhat like a party "apparatchick," for a Roman politician is heavily dependent on popular suffrage to maintain his position (more so than the elite in other cultures).
		He avoids a discussion of the structure of Roman assemblies (and many may be thankful).

		To it were referred all the land reforms, those motions which dealt with the establishing of Roman colonies, the laws which aimed at restraining luxury, matters which touched upon the government of the provinces, and treaties made with foreign states.
		For the Romans had never before been forced to deal with the government of any people outside of Italy, whom they could not reach with their roads and bind closely to the city of Rome.
		The plundering of the provinces by the privileged classes at Rome grew to be a terrible scourge upon the Roman subjects, and it was not ended until the rule of the senatorial aristocracy broke down and was replaced by the better organization of the Roman Empire.

		There is also information about the different assemblies and their functions.
		- The Romans never had a written constitution, but their form of their government, (especially from the time of the passage of the lex Hortensia 287 B.C.), roughly parallels the modern American division of executive, legislative, and judical branches, although the senate doesn't neatly fit any of these categories.
		compares the Roman Republican Constitution to the Executive Branch (magistrates), the Legislative Branch (the assemblies), and the Sentate.

		During the early Republic, power rested in the hands of the patricians, a privileged class of Roman citizens whose status was a birthright.
		However, debts and an unfair distribution of public land prompted the poorer Roman citizens, known as the plebians, to withdraw from the city-state and form their own assembly, elect their own officers, and set up their own cults.
