46.270 Religious Conversion in the Greco-Roman World.
This paper discusses religious conversion in the Greco-Roman world. Augustine argued that the pagan fables and theatrical performances corrupted the virtues of the early Romans, and in his view those gods did not teach good laws nor the right moral code. As Rome's morals declined, it increased its craving for world power and the enjoyment of obscene ceremonies. Augustine believed that the pagan gods were unclean and lying spirits. He compared a wealthy person with one of moderate means. The rich person suffers from excessive fear and worries because of feverish greed, while the modest person is content and has good relations, is self-restrained, morally chaste, and at peace.

47.608 The Fall of the Roman Empire.
This paper discusses the topic of the fall of the Roman Empire. It is one of the most widely contested issues in ancient history. Scholars from all over the world, ranging from the reasonable to the absurd, have presented almost every possible viewpoint, at one time or another. Some will argue that understanding the fall of Rome is the key to the survival of our own great nation, the United States. For much of this century, the U.S. has been compared to the Roman Empire in just about every conceivable way. There are those who say that we are following the same path to destruction as the ancient Romans. In order to avoid that fate, we must try to understand what caused the fall of the Roman Empire. Some of the most commonly adhered to theories for the fall are the collapse of the Roman economy, the gradual transformation of Roman society, and the decline of its military. I tend to agree with the idea that it was the decline of Rome's once mighty military that led to its demise.

48.650 Caesar by Colleen McCullough.
Known to millions as the author of "The Thorn Birds", Colleen McCullough has now received full apperception for the peculiarity and precision of her research on Roman history, receiving a doctorate from a Sydney university. This book is written in such a precise manner that it is recommend that those unfamiliar with Roman society and politics can easily grasp the theme of the story. It is an intellectual work but with fact and fiction so intelligently woven together that it would be impossible for a reader unfamiliar with the period to tell which is which. The mark of a good historical novel is one, which leaves the reader educated without their knowledge; even better, fired with the excitement to find out more, particularly the desire to ascertain the fact from the fiction. The novel "Ceaser"succeeds in depicting this trait as mentioned earlier. Not only do the reader feels that his knowledge of the end of the Roman Republic is hugely expanded and put into clearer context with reference to other events.

49.20206 Caligula
The nefarious Roman Emperor known as Caligula, whose actual name was Caius Julius Caesar Germaniucs, was born in Antium in 12 AD, a city along the German frontier in the northern Roman Empire. Perhaps as an affectation, Caius wore miniaturized versions of the military sandals of the soldiers they lived near. The name of these sandals, caligae, was modified by those soldiers to ?Caligula? (little sandal). This nickname became his for the rest of his life (Barrett, 4). Caius? father, Germanicus, held positions of power within the military and the political structures in the region and was seen as a potential candidate for the throne at some later time. While a teenager, his mother and several brothers were arrested and executed by prefect Sejanus because their family was seen as a potential threat to his authority in the region. Later that year, Caligula became a priest and lived for several years on the island of Capri where he attended to the spiritual needs of Emperor Tiberius (Reed, 120).
