Roman Gladiator Games: The Venatio
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Animals and sports have had a long-standing love/hate relationship: For man, the benefits are more times than not skewed in his favor for conquest; for the animal, the spectacle known as entertainment is nothing more than an attempt at fighting for his life. For the Roman gladiators, animal slaughter was mere folly – a precursor to the real event: human-to-human massacre. It is interesting, however, the extent to which the Roman Government went in order to supply these events with the massive numbers of animals required, often scouring the Roman Empire and beyond as a means by which to capture and retrieve the thousands upon thousands of various species tagged for such a dreadful fate. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Rome's Transition From Republic to Empire
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing
why and how Rome shifted in structure from republic to empire. The factors contributing
to the shift were varied, but the single most limiting factor in Rome's ability to maintain
itself was the ultimate size of the area it controlled. It ruled most of the known world, at
least that part of the world of which its citizens wished to have any knowledge. Rome
appears to have set out to conquer any lands attractive to it, leaving all others for "the
barbarians," defined as any group not under Roman control. This determination to
dominate all desirable lands and peoples ultimately led to the demise of the Roman empire.
A better route would have been to create alliances with neighbors rather than insist on
controlling them. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
