Roman civilisation had some continuities and alterations of their political and cultural systems. during the diminution of the classical epoch. An illustration of continuity would be that the Western European church still used Latin as the linguistic communication of the church. However the faith was changed during the reign of Emperor Constantine. Rome started out as most category systems with an upper. center. and lower categories.
After a period of great peace and prosperity known as the “pax Romana” is when the Roman Empire started to worsen. because the wealthy were going more and more affluent and the center and lower categories were going poorer and poorer. The deficiency of money circulated caused the bulk of Roman citizens who were hapless to go down and careless. This sloppiness from the citizens caused them to halt participating in functioning the state and making Civil services every bit good as halting them from being originative with humanistic disciplines and scientific discipline.
The Roman authorities was an absolute monarchy in which the Emperor was worshiped as a God. Before the diminution there was no official faith that everyone had to believe in. the authorities had spiritual tolerance every bit long as the people believed the Emperor was a God. However during the reign of Emperor Constantine he declared Christianity the official faith of Rome. Although even before Constantine declared Christianity the official faith some people already practiced it.
The polytheistic faith that many Roman’s believed in did non give hope to the people for something better after they died. Christianity did if the followings lived by the simple moral moralss by working hard and making good workss. Another alteration that Christianity brought was about holding sexual relationships with others. and that you should merely hold dealingss with your partner. Besides Christianity made them believe that everyone was equal and so slavery about disappeared in Western Europe.
However Latin was. and still is. the chief linguistic communication of the Western European churches. Besides because architecture was considered as art. the architectural manners of the Roman civilisation are still used today. The myths of the polytheistic faith that Rome one time had were inspiration for many Renaissance creative persons such as Michaelangelo Buonorroti and Sandro Botticelli. As you can see the Roman Empires worsen brought about some alterations and continuities. The alterations either helped or ache Rome and some of the continuities are still used today.
