Event Details : The Foundations of Western Civilization – a video presentation. The next two lectures of the series are as follows :
Lecture 17- The Roman Republic-Government and Politics
 What does it mean to speak of the "constitution" of the Roman republic? What are the essential offices, procedures, and ideals involved, and how did the whole thing really work? The Roman republican constitution was a combination of institutions, ideologies, social values, and historical experience. The Roman system has been, in concrete institutional structures and in fundamental ideological notions, formative in later Western political development.
Lecture 18 - Roman Imperialism
 In this lecture, we will explore the emergence and early history of the Roman Empire and discuss some of the ways in which that Empire affected Rome. Rome acquired provinces all over the Mediterranean world, acquired that is an Empire. Amidst civil wars, Rome’s republic collapsed into a military dictatorship: The Roman Empire was born in the sense of a Roman regime in which power was in the hands of emperors.
