Religion

The Romans considerate themselves as very religious, and attributed their success as a world power in maintaining good relation with the gods. Religion depended on correct knowledge and practice of prayer, ritual and sacrifice, not faith or dogma, although Latin literature preserves learned about nature of the divine and human affairs. Because the Romans had never been forced to grow a single god or worship, religious tolerance was not a problem in the sense that it is for competing monotheistic systems.

Roman Catholicism

The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman

Catholic Church, is the world's largest Christian

church, with over one billion members worldwide. It is

one of the oldest institutions in the world. The Church

teaches that the one true Church is divinely founded

by Jesus Christ, The Catholic Church is Trinitarian and

defines its mission as spreading the Gospel of Jesus

Christ, administering the sacraments and exercising

charity. The Church teaches that the bread and wine

used in the Mass become the body and blood of Christ

through transubstantiation. The Catholic Church is the

largest non-governmental provider of education and

medical services in the world. Spiritual Catholic

teaching emphasizes the spread of the Gospel message

and the growth of spiritual discipline through spiritual

works of mercy. The Church celebrates the Blessed

Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus Christ

Ancient Rome Goverment

From its inception until Julius Caesar, Rome is a Republic, controlled by consuls, who were responsible for carrying

out the orders of the senate in various aspects such as management, command the army and defend the republic.

The Roman government was a strange mix of a democracy and a republic. An interesting fact is that the people of

Rome took many of their ideas of government from the Ancient Greeks.

The Roman state was described as the republic and its consuls, or chief magistrates, continued to be appointed

even after the establishment of one-man rule under the empire, but in its pure form it lasted only until the

beginning of the first century B.C.

Goverment

When Julius Caesar is assassinated by

members of the Senate, the civil war

begins. Octavio Augusto wins and

becomes Emperor and the Empire

begins. the Senate still exists but now

under the Emperor, who rules directly

handles all power: runs the army

controls the finances. Octavio becomes a

dictator and no one has more power

than him.
