It goes back to 122 BC Gaius Gracchus instituted Lex Frumentaria, a law that ordered Roman’s government to supply its citizens with allotments of cheaply priced grain. It continued under Trajan who implemented a program called “alimenta” to help feed, clothe, and educate orphans and poor children. Corn, oil, wine, bread and pork were added to the list of priced control goods, which may have been collected with tokens called “tesserae” this helped the Roman emperors to gain favor with the public.

...is the origin of modern English. Back then it was called Englisc and the people who spoke were the Anglo-Saxons; Old English is also known as Anglo-Saxon. Old English is essentially the first recorded version of English and it is the forebear of the language we speak today. Although a modern English speaker would likely have great difficulty in understanding written or spoken Old English, about half the words we use today are derived from Old English. Who Spoke Old English? At the beginning of the 5th Century, in what is now England, the local people were speaking Celtic while the government and officialdom spoke Latin, the language of the occupying Roman force. Britain, however, was coming under increasing attack from raiding parties out of Northern Europe.It was at this point that the Romans left (to defend other parts of the Roman Empire) and the country was essentially undefended. The raiding parties became more frequent and as they pushed further inland and then began to settle in the country, they pushed the Celtic speakers into the wilds of what is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland. These raiders and then occupiers were known as Anglo-Saxons. The Angles came from Englalandand spoke Englisc. The language they used came from back home and it took over completely from Celtic and Latin in much the same way that English settlers several hundred years later settled in North America and Australia bringing their own language with them and just taking a few words from the indigenous...

...The native language of the Romans was Latin, an Italic language the grammar of which relies little on word order, conveying meaning through a system of affixes attached to word stems. Its alphabet was based on the Etruscan alphabet, which was in turn based on the Greek alphabet. Although surviving Latin literature consists almost entirely of Classical Latin, an artificial and highly stylized and polished literary language from the 1st century BC, the spoken language of the Roman Empire was Vulgar Latin, which significantly differed from Classical Latin in grammar and vocabulary, and eventually in pronunciation. While Latin remained the main written language of the Roman Empire, Greek came to be the language spoken by the well-educated elite,...

Middle Ages art mainly consisted of religious art. Most of the major Middle Ages artist where members of religious houses. These artist used techniques that resulted in a one dimensional work of art without perspective of the use of shadows. The artist tended to have the subject front facing possessing elongated narrow faces. The Renaissance is considered by historians to be the beginning of the modern age. Renaissance actually means rebirth, a very practical name for the period considering the modernization in science and art. The Renaissance era dates from 1400-1550 deriving from Florence Italy. The art started in the center of a wealthy community deeming it was necessary to fund the cathedrals that were garnished by the most prestigious artist in the area.

...CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW ESSAY Presented to Dr. Timothy Swinson For BIBL 425 – Romans By George W Rimel October 1st, 2014 * Creation: Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. [1] God created Man and Woman to live in harmony and be obedient to him, to have a relationship with him; He gave them everything a beautiful place to live all kinds of things to eat. And one rule, Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.[2] From that point on mankind has been lost and sin entered into the world, God was disappointed and placed a curse on the man and the woman and kicked them out of the Garden of Eden. * What does Romans inform us regarding Creation? 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:[3] We cannot see the air we breathe, but it is there lest we die. We cannot see the gravity which holds us to the earth but it is there. There are laws and things set into motion from the beginning of creation that care for us, which a majority of the people of today are not even conscious of, and refuse to...

...Archimedes was a mathematician, but he was so much more. He is known for his opulent contributions to the fields of mathematics, geometry, physics, and hydrostatics. To illustrate Archimedes’s genius you can simply take a look at some of his inventions. Archimedes was a mastermind of mathematics. One of his biggest accomplishments is approximating pi, he did this by utilizing the technique known as the method of exhaustion. His approximation is still used today. He also proved that the area of a circle was equal to pi multiplied by the square of the radius of the circle. He also discovered what is called Archimedes Principle, a principle relating buoyancy to displacement. He considered his most important discoveries his discoveries on the sphere and cylinder. He realized that the volume of a cylinder is equal to 2/3 times the volume of the corresponding sphere and that the surface area of cylinder, including both ends, equals 2/3 times the surface area of the corresponding sphere. Archimedes also worked on the quadrature of the parabola, conoids and spheroids and found that the area of the parabolic segment of a parabola is equal to 3/4 times that of the triangle with the same base and height, the volume of any segment of a paraboloid is 3/2 times that of a cone with the same base and axes, and the ratio of the two segments formed by cutting a solid bounded by a paraboloid with two planes in an arbitrary way is equal to that of the squares of the lengths of their axes.

...practice that they have been passed down for hundreds of years with each new generation adding information and bettering the subject for the greater good. One period of time in the early middle ages is known as the “dark ages”. From approximately 410 to 1095 is known as the “dark ages” mainly because of the ciaos, ignorance, superstition and repression that occurred during that time. The “dark ages” is a derogatory name given to the early middle ages. The fall of Rome gives good understanding to the severity of the “dark ages” because for years Rome was a power house and known for bringing stability to Europe. Roman Civilization began to deteriorate from about 200 CE onward. In the late 400s the weakness of the Empire, caused by corruption and various other stresses, combined with barbarian pressure from the northeast, causing a catastrophic collapse of the Roman government. The eastern portion of the Empire continued until the 1450s as the Byzantine Empire with its own Greek-based civilization. The collapse of Rome was followed by a barbaric invasion, settlement and eventually supremacy. The new barbarian kingdoms included Visigoths...

...Renewal by Andersen of Long Island understands that custom-built home windows aren’t a modern concept. In fact, before the founder of our parent company, Hans Andersen, designed an economical system to build and deliver standard window parts to retailers, most home windows were built specifically for each home. At the turn of the 20th century, standardization was innovatory. Today, as scientists explore avant-garde solutions to better serve consumers and responsibly approach natural resource management, the Andersen Corp. and our local Renewal by Andersen team continue to set high benchmarks for the window industry.

...Religion was one of the aspects of the Renaissance that changed drastically over a few centuries. Before the Renaissance, during the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church was dominant in most states of Europe. The Pope was the singular most influential and feared bodies in politics. At this time, the church would be the center of all community life, especially because the clergymen were often the only people in a town who were literate. Before the Renaissance, the church was the undisputed dominant force of order. As the Renaissance started to blossom, the church was still the center of life and a refuge from the horrors of war and plague. However, by this time various factors had begun to act against the church's influence. As the Renaissance was re-awakening, it was also a rebirth of thought. So various people began taking up their own views and opinions of the world and began questioning the church and the Pope. The major facts that were weakening the church's influence included the Rise of Humanism, the invention of the Printing Press, the awareness of corruption in the church, and the work of individual Reformers. Humanism The rediscovery of Humanism in probably the most influential force that powered the Renaissance. The basic concept of Humanism is the belief that all human concept of Humanism is the belief that all human beings have a capacity to reason. Humanism shows a reverend respect for the beauty of the human body and power of an individual's mind. It saw...

Brutus goaded the citizens of rome, telling them things such as if caesar were still alive and king, they will all be slaves, where as if caesar is dead, they will all be free from his “tyranny”. He finished, and actually made the people think about his decision for killing caesar by doubting their loyalty to rome: “As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his ambition. Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.

...Matthew Reikowsky Professor Kirk Humanities February 17 2011 The Medici Bank During the time of the Renaissance there were many advances and going on in Florence and at the center of one of the industrial movements was banking. This movement was spurred on and enhanced by one of the most powerful families during that time. The Medici family. The Medici family was responsible for supplying the world with four popes, two queens of France, and they controlled Florence, with a few interruptions, for almost 400 years. One of the more famous things the Medici family is responsible for is the forming and rise of the Medici Bank. Founded by Giovanni di Bicca de’ Medici in 1397. Giovanni had managed a bank in Rome before moving to Florence. The Medici Bank lasted up until 1494, when it collapsed due to depression, internal strife and French aggression. Fortunately the Medici Bank kept excellent records and could later be used by other banking organizations and a building stone for their banks. While the Medici family were not the great innovators of the Renaissance like many people are famous for in this time, they did however use techniques that were being newly developed in Italy to the advantage, for instance double entry accounting. Which even as technology has advanced, the double entry accounting and bookkeeping is still being used widely on an electronic scale by just about all banks. Currently under GAP regulations in order to be certified by GAP a financial institution...
