Roman Empire Change Over Time Essay

The major change after the Roman Empire was attacked was set back with technology, art, and religion. It was the time period that really made us who we are today. The way we live and the items we have the items we have and the religion we believe in.

The Roman Empire and middle age religion are two opposites. Rome believed in spirts and many gods, but the middle Ages consisted of having one God. Catholic and Christianity were two major religions. Christianity was started in roman times before the big war that killed the Roman Empire. Christianity was carried over, but was not common in the middle ages cause of the catholic religion coming along. The Catholic religion was horrible in the Middle Ages, it brought greed and steeling to add on to all of that they kept the knowledge from people and kept it just to the pope’s. The protestant religion was a great religion that helped people open there eyes to what the catholic religion was doing to them. It was a plus that protestant religion came along because when the black plague hit, people were so innocent that they kept questioning the church. The church could not

give answers. The roman religion was a different religion, because they be lived in many gods doing different things for them. As the Roman Empire expanded a man named Jesus walking to his death, this caused the people to make a new religion that had many followers, because Jesus rose from the dead. This also had backlash because the Roman Empire wanted to have every on to be live that there is many God’s. Christianity became common so much that kings started to convert that helped killings of Christians stop. A religion also affected who was killed that is where advanced technology comes in to play.
We are so technology advanced that we don’t realize that we had sewer systems in the roman times and gun powder in the middle ages. The Roman Empire was technology advanced that we got set back so far, that it was crazy how long it took us to get where we are today. The Roman Empire had sewage, money, aqueducts, newspaper, massive buildings and medical as well. We were so set back with going without water and sewage to not having no sewage or aqueducts at all. The people that lived I the middle ages with little to no knowledge , all they had was the church and that was all. Nothing was new or rediscovered but not until gun powder was created. Gun powder was used to shoot cannons that were to break down walls. They could reload and launch so fast it did not give the town enough time to rebuild, the town would be in crumbles, no other movements were made after that point finally and most importantly art.
Art has grown so much with going from pencil to pad to being stylist to tablet.

Rome was almost like the birth of art with everything that happened at the time. Roman people were so smart that they had some beautiful art work when they were done. Rome came out with statues, busts, mosaics, art on the walls that tolled a story like a book and any form of roman paint. On the other hand you have good old middle ages. The middle ages was a time of paintings all that came out was stories about catholic religion and the fights. The middle Ages was not a productive time in art history.

It’s sad to think how much we lost between Rome and the middle ages. That’s why they called the Middle Ages the dark ages, causes nothing happened. All the religion, the amazing technology and beautiful art work are all thanks to the history we had and the solidity we have

today.
