23 INB 43 Legacy of the Roman Empire Highlight what you believe is important enough to include in your notes Paraphrase the information you identified in the box on the right. The Legacy of the Roman Empire: INB Analyze the legacy of the Roman Empire. Rome's Legacies What are the key achievements and contributions of Roman civilization? The influence of the ancient Romans still surrounds us. Roman achievements live on in our system of laws and government today. The peace and order created by Roman rule helped with the rapid growth and spread of the Christian religion. Rome's Influence on Law and Government Many beliefs about law and justice in the American legal system come from Roman ideas. Like the Romans, we believe that everyone is equal under the law. We also believe that a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. We, like the Romans, require our judges to decide cases fairly. The republican form of government was developed in ancient Rome. Certain citizens in a republic elected their leaders. The United States and a number of other countries today are democratic republics. We also believe that a republic works best if all adult citizens vote, participate in government, and help to improve their communities. Rome's Cultural Impact Many Western countries use the Latin alphabet, which has expanded from 22 to 26 letters. The Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian languages are derived from Latin the language of the Romans. Many English words have Latin roots. Latin phrases are part of the vocabulary of scientists, doctors, and lawyers. The Romans continue to influence the literature we read and enjoy. The great Roman writers such as Virgil, Horace, Livy, and Tacitus are still admired and studied. Architecture and construction also owe much to the ancient Romans. Government buildings in Washington, D.C. and the capital cities of many states often use domes and arches inspired by Roman architecture. Concrete, a Roman development, remains a major building material today. Ancient Rome and Christianity Christianity is a major world religion. It began in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and was adopted by Rome's emperors in the A.D. 300s. Those emperors helped the new religion grow and spread. The Roman road system allowed the early Christians to travel throughout the empire safely and quickly. As a result, Christian ideas were easily shared with other groups of people. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Christianity continued to attract new believers.

43 Bellwork INB 44 Write the answers to your questions in complete sentences on your INB paper below your passage The city is enormous in size, and separated in two parts by a great river. The part of the city on the eastern bank of the river contains the residence of the Emperor, the nobles, and the rest of the population. Its marketplaces and streets are spacious and paved. The city lies at the foot of a hill which projects about nine miles into the sea. On the top of the hill there is a small citadel (fortress) and the Emperor's palace. Round this hill runs the city-wall, which is very strong and cannot be taken by assault from the sea front. Within its walls there are about thirteen inhabited villages. The second part, on the western bank of the river is reserved to the western European Christians who dwell there. They are of different kinds, including Genoese, Venetians, Romans [other Italians?] and people of France; they are subject to the authority of the king of Constantinople. They are bound to pay a tax every year to the king of Constantinople, but often they revolt against him and he makes war on them. They are all men of commerce and their harbor is one of the largest in the world; I saw there about a hundred galleys [sailing ships] and other large ships, and the small ships were too many to be counted. The marketplaces in this part of the town are good but filthy, and a small and very dirty river runs through them. Their churches too are filthy and mean. Source: Travels in Asia and Africa, , Ibn Battuta 1. According to the author, why is the eastern part of the city more secure? 2. According to the author, what types of people inhabit the western bank of the city? 3. What is the main profession of the men who live on the western bank of the city? 4. Do you think this would be an interesting city to visit based on this passage? Why or why not?

46 Reading/Note-taking Strategy Guided Reading INB 45 A Guided Reading is one that asks you questions along the way to ensure that you understand the material: 1. Read the question that appears in the box below each section of text. (set your purpose for reading) 2. Then READ the text itself with that question in mind. 3. Highlight the parts of the text that will help you answer the question (evidence!) 4. Answer each question in a COMPLETE SENTENCE

47 The New Rome What do you think it would be like living in place like this After the Roman Empire was divided in A.D. 395, the eastern half eventually became known as the Byzantine Empire. At the height of its power in the A.D. 500s, the Byzantine territory extended west to Italy, south to Egypt, and east to the Arabian border. A variety of peoples lived within the empire's borders. Greeks made up the largest population. Egyptians, Syrians, Arabs, Armenians, Jews, Persians, Slavs, and Turks also lived in the empire. Under Emperor Justinian, the laws improved, the arts flourished, and the empire grew dramatically. What kind of population did the Byzantine Empire have? Why do you think the city may have been called the New Rome?

48 Constantinople Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to the Greek city of Byzantium and renamed the city Constantinople. The new capital thrived. By the A.D. 500s, multicultural Constantinople had become one of the world's most advanced cities. Constantinople's location was a major factor in the city's success. Located on a peninsula between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea, the city's excellent harbors attracted fishing boats, trading ships, and warships. Because of its location at the crossroads of trade routes between Europe and Asia, Constantinople became the wealthiest part of the Roman Empire. Constantinople was also easy to defend. Lying on a peninsula, the city was protected on three sides by the sea, and a large wall protected it on the fourth side. Later, a huge chain was strung across the city's harbor for greater protection. Surprise attacks were not easily carried out on Constantinople. Why was Constantinople s location so important? What effect did being at the center of so many trade routes have on the city?

49

50 What Cultural Influences Shaped the Byzantines? Constantinople at first resembled other cities in the Roman Empire. The "New Rome," as it was called, had government buildings and palaces built in the Roman style. The city also had an oval arena called the Hippodrome where chariot races and other events were held. Rome influenced the political and social life of the Byzantine Empire. Emperors spoke Latin and enforced Roman laws. Many wealthy Roman families traveled east to the Byzantine Empire and lived in towns or on large farming estates. Similarly to how things were done in Rome, the government gave the empire's poor people free bread and entertainment shows. Over time, the Roman influence on the Byzantine Empire faded, while Greek influence in the area increased. Most Byzantines spoke Greek, and Byzantine emperors and officials also began to speak Greek instead of Latin. The ideas of non-greek peoples, like the Egyptians and the Slavs, also shaped Byzantine life. Still other customs came from Persia to the east. All of these cultures blended together to form the Byzantine civilization. Between A.D. 500 and A.D. 1200, the Byzantines developed one of the world's most advanced civilizations. They preserved and passed on Greek culture and Roman law to other peoples. As you will learn, they also brought Christianity to people in Eastern Europe. How did the culture of the Byzantine Empire change over time?

51 Imagine you are a traveler to Constantinople in the years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Create a postcard message to send to your family back home to share with your family what the city called the "New Rome" is like. In your message include and underline the following terms - Greek, Justinian, mosaic, Constantinople, Byzantium, Black Sea, trade, Latin,, government, and law.
