Ancient Rome's Legacy

Augustus had great loyalty to his people and genuinely wanted to help his people and make Rome become a better empire. He sponsored several laws designed to encourage people to marry and have more children, also he received religious traditions (Moulton 90). Augustus also provided army officers with land in the provinces and encouraged them to settle there ( Moulton 90). Augustus Caesar has been an excellent first emperor of Rome throughout history, by having great leadership.

They practiced a pagan religion in a dominantly Christian continent. During the 6th century, Pope Gregory sent out missionaries to convert people to Roman Christianity. Augustine, the leader of one of the missionaries, came across the Anglo-Saxon people (The spread of Christianity). Slowly, they began to convert, starting with the Kings, but many people rejected Christianity in the beginning because they only knew their old gods. As people began to accept Christianity, many positives came from Christianity (Conversion of the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity).

The biggest legacy the Roman’s left was the Latin language. The Roman empire included many diverse people, religions and political groups. To accomplish a stable ruling, the Roman Empire used rules and used the Latin language to unify its Empire. The ancient Roman Empire crumbled centuries ago but left a Latin language legacy that exists today.

In 354, Augustine was born in an ordinary family in Rome. “His father was a pagan who converted on his death bed; his mother was Saint Monica, a devout Christian” ("Life of St. Augustine.") Even though the cost of education was very expensive

The government was democratic because the people of the colony elected a governor annually. The governors was elected they were limited to freeman who had been examined for their religious and admitted to their church. The Puritans population was strongly, and its governance was dominated by a small group of leaders who was strongly influenced by Puritan religious leaders. The democratic government was treating everyone the same when dealing with laws and taxes.

Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece were very powerful and influential forces around the time that Christianity had began to spread. In Rome’s society, people followed under an emperor, who had strict rules about religion and the type of beliefs one should have. At the time, Rome’s official religion was pagan, but later converted to Christian. Ancient Greece had different religious beliefs than those that Christianity consisted of, but these countries were both powerful and helpful in spreading this new religion. Greece and Rome were impactful on Christian doctrine as well as helping this religion thrive and continue to expand to new areas.

Roman society has revolved around religion since the first century. The religion in Rome prospered over time from Mythology to Christianity, which is still the main religion of Rome today. Alongside Judaism, Christianity is one of the most important religions not only in Rome, but around the whole world. Although the beliefs and rituals changed over time, Roman religion played an important role in the development of Rome’s society today.

The influence of latin, greek, and roman culture is everywhere in today's society. Majority of english words come from latin words, the scientific terms for animals also comes from latin. Ancient greek stories are still enjoyed today and teach us important meanings. The ancient greek gods represent things and traits in our daily life. Like Zeus who is the god of rain and sky and is the most powerfulest of god.

Immigrants brought their gods from their nations to Canada like Rachael (Gen. 31:19) and serve them freely. Individualism protects their choice of religion, so evangelizing often rejected. The government already started to eliminate Christian culture from all areas and tries to make it as neutral as possible. Replacing “Merry Christmas” to “Happy Holidays” is one of the examples. The reason is that “Merry Christmas” associates with Christians only.

The Order of the Garter held a strong relationship with both the Christian faith and Pope Clement maintaining the motto in the light of the chivalric code practicing good Christianity as well as chivalry thus restoring the original notion of the knights of Christ. The Order of the Temple was the first religious order in existence, which comprised of a brotherhood of knights in Jerusalem set apart from society in accordance to their Christian faith and devotion regulated by the church. The order was founded in the early 12th century in the early days of the quest for holy land; they were originally designed to protect pilgrims traveling to these holy lands. In the later days of the order there was much debate whether the knights could be considered a part of a religious order.

Christianity was the dominate religion in the Roman Empire. The Romans did believe in Jesus, one God and enteral life, this was because of “Gods Will”. “Gods Will” is whatever God says is the right way. If you got sick, a disease, plagues, death or injury it is “Gods Will”. The Romans would live their daily life of what God says.

(Doc E) Pliny the Younger, who was a Roman judge sentenced a group of Christians who would not buy sacrificial items for Roman gods to execution. (Doc G) Romans believed that there was an afterlife but there were two afterworlds that were for heros and commoners that people would be sent to after being judged on what they did in their lives. (Doc C) Christians to believed in an afterlife in which people who followed the laws of Christianity would be free of illnesses, poverty, and isolation, in their afterlife everyone was equal. (Doc C)

Many of these were introduced via the Greek colonies of southern Italy and others had their roots in the Etruscan or Latin tribes of the region (UNRV).” Having been influenced by other religions the Romans were not against the idea of becoming Christians. “By 392 AD, Emperor Theodosius I banned the practice of pagan religions in Rome altogether and Christianity was, without question, the official religion of the state (UNRV).” Present day the Roman religion does not exist. The Romans all converted their beliefs to Christianity soon after being hesitated to in the early fourth century

It has also influenced U.S. Law. The Romans had many different discoveries, one of them that is still with us today is Roman Law.

Regardless of its developing prevalence, Christianity might never have turned into the prevailing religion of the Roman Domain had it not in the end discovered magnificent backing. Under Sovereign Constantine the Incomparable, Christianity went from an abused confidence to the most essential religion in the Roman Domain. Constantine 's backing for Christianity was moderate in its advancement, what 's more, a long way from an anticipated event. Constantine came to control when a progression of common wars toward the fourth 's start century obliterated the tetrarchy built up by Diocletian. The framework went into disrepair as each of the four sovereigns fought the others for control.
