  • The Early Middle Ages
    The Early Middle Ages After the collapse of Rome, Western Europe entered a period of political, social, and economic decline. From about 500 to 1000, invaders swept across the region, trade declined, towns emptied, and classical learning halted. For those reasons, this period in Europe is sometimes called the “Dark Ages.” However, Greco-Roman, Germanic, and Christian traditions eventually blended, creating the medieval civilization. This period between ancient times and modern times – from about 500 to 1500 – is called the Middle Ages. The Frankish Kingdom The Germanic tribes that conquered parts of the Roman Empire included the Goths, Vandals, Saxons, and Franks. In 486, Clovis, king of the Franks, conquered the former Roman province of Gaul, which later became France. He ruled his land according to Frankish custom, but also preserved much of the Roman legacy by converting to Christianity. In the 600s, Islamic armies swept across North Africa and into Spain, threatening the Frankish kingdom and Christianity. At the battle of Tours in 732, Charles Martel led the Frankish army in a victory over Muslim forces, stopping them from invading France and pushing farther into Europe. This victory marked Spain as the furthest extent of Muslim civilization and strengthened the Frankish kingdom. Charlemagne After Charlemagne died in 814, his heirs battled for control of the In 786, the grandson of Charles Martel became king of the Franks. He briefly united Western empire, finally dividing it into Europe when he built an empire reaching across what is now France, Germany, and part of three regions with the Treaty of Italy.

ROMA SURRECTA: Portrait of a Counterinsurgent Power, 216 BC - AD 72 Abstract This study evaluates the military history and practice of the Roman Empire in the context of contemporary counterinsurgency theory. It purports that the majority of Rome’s security challenges fulfill the criteria of insurgency, and that Rome’s responses demonstrate counterinsurgency proficiency. These assertions are proven by means of an extensive investigation of the grand strategic, military, and cultural aspects of the Roman state. Fourteen instances of likely insurgency are identified and examined, permitting the application of broad theoretical precepts

  • An Overall Approach on the Roman Economy of the Province of Upper Dacia
    AN OVERALL APPROACH ON THE ROMAN ECONOMY OF THE PROVINCE OF UPPER DACIA Mateusz Żmudziński University of Wrocław [email protected] Abstract: The present paper is the extensive summary to my book, in Polish, on the economy of Upper Dacia.1 The reason to publish such a summary was the possible high difficulty for the reader if he may not be able to read Polish language. DOI: 10.14795/j.v2i2.108 Keywords: Roman economy, mining, agriculture, trade, imports ISSN 2360 – 266X ISSN–L 2360 – 266X he purpose of this work is to show the many aspects of economy in the region of Upper Dacia. The territorial span of this work corresponds Tto all the lands of this province, including the territories, which received the name of Dacia Porolissensis, as well as Western Transylvania that was incorporated to Dacia Apulensis after political changes. The choice of this territorial span has several reasons. First, it corresponds to the lands on which the most important researches on Dacian provinces were led. Studying the economy of this region is particularly interesting because it provides many information in order to understand Roman economy in general. Second, the present state of the researches on the Dacian provinces is very unequal. It is therefore impossible to analyse the question as a whole, for all the concerned territories: in many aspects, their research degrees and numbers of publications considerably differ from ours. The impossibility to distinguish most of the archaeological objects as anterior or posterior to the epoch of the exclusion of the mentioned territories of Upper Dacia does not permit us to restrict our research to a smaller region.

    Article Journal of Asian Security Are Borders the Reflection and International Affairs 5(3) 1–23 of International Relations? 2018 SAGE Publications India Private Limited Southeast Asian Borders SAGE Publications sagepub.in/home.nav in Perspective DOI: 10.1177/2347797018798253 http://journals.sagepub.com/home/aia A. K. M. Ahsan Ullah1 Asiyah Az-Zahra Ahmad Kumpoh2 Abstract Over the past decade, the concepts of border have gained resonance in several disciplines within social sciences. While critical theory of borders has made tremendous advancements, scarcity of the scholarship in border studies is still evident. Borders are, in general, cultural, social, territorial, geographical, political, sexual and racial separators. This article deals with geographical borders in the Southeast Asian (SEA) region. Most countries in SEA share borders with each other. Under a range of circumstances and relationships such as trade, security and migration flows take place. Southeast Asia’s heterogeneity—politically, ethnically, religiously, economically, demographically and spatially—has crucial implications for neighbourly relationships, trade, border constructions, migration and refugee flows for all the countries. This article delves into the interplay between borders and heterogeneity in SEA and their outcomes. We argue that borders type determine the level of relationship between neighbouring countries and security outcome, trade and population mobility.
