| | Rome, from Golden Age to Political Chaos |
 | | Macrinus received a letter from a friend in Rome warning him of the new danger to him, and Macrinus believed that he either had to engineer a coup against the emperor or he would be killed. | | | Severus arrived in Rome, claiming that he was avenging the death of Pertinax and restoring Augustan government. | | | But Trajan favored applying the law against only those Christians about whom people complained, or Christians who had created disturbances, and he declared that the accused were to receive a proper trial in which they were able to face their accusers. |

| | The Virtual Jewish History Tour - Rome |
| | Twice in the Classic period, Jews were exiled from Rome, in 19 C.E. and in 49-50 C.E. The first exile took place due to the defrauding of an aristocratic Roman woman Fulvia, who had been attracted to Judaism. | | | During the Reformation, in 1555, Pope Paul IV decreed that all Jews must be segregated into their own quarters (ghettos), and they were forbidden to leave their home during the night, were banned from all but the most strenuous occupations and had to wear a distinctive badge — a yellow hat. | | | The Jewish position in Rome began to deteriorate during the reign of Constantine the Great (306-336), who enacted laws limiting the rights of Jews as citizens. |

| | The limits of politics were thus designed to open to members of any polity questions that politics itself could legitimately pose but which it could not adequately or fully answer. | | | To hold this rightfulness of place for politics was not "against" this revelation, but what the revelation itself maintained. | | | This latter is the most subtle temptation of politics, as Aristotle hinted in The Metaphysics (982b29). |

| | Sample Chapter for Tsebelis, G.: Veto Players: How Political Institutions Work. |
| | THIS BOOK IS ABOUT political institutions: how we think about them in a consistent way across countries; how they affect policies; and how they impact other important characteristics of a political system, like the stability of governments and the role of the judiciary and the bureaucracies. | | | This political system is neither a presidential nor a parliamentary regime. | | | According to the theory, policy stability will lead to government instability for parliamentary systems, regime instability for presidential systems, and independence of judges and bureaucrats. |

| | Fergus Millar's scholarly work is one of the most concise studies on the politics and society of the Late Roman Republic. | | | These motivations increased the frequency of political trials and the use of hired mobs to control the forum. | | | This system worked well in Rome for so long because, until about 90 B.C., the Roman citizenry was limited to those who lived in Rome and its colonies in Italy and overseas: other cities in Italy were treated merely as allies (socii) who had limited privileges in Roman society and no voting rights. |

So it is only natural that these tribal rites should evolve into spectacles produced mainly to entertain the audience. |

| | Political Institutions |
| | Because the Romans began as a conquered people under the rule of the Etruscans, they created political institutions to help protect themselves from someone rising up as a dictator and taking over. | | | This was the method of checks and balances that made up the Roman government when Rome first became free in 509 BC when the Etruscan kings were finally cast out for good. | | | When they finally became a free people they decided to give all the power to two groups: the Assembly and the Senate even though there were kings. |

| | Boethius, the Sixth Century advisor and close friend to Theodoric the Ostrogoth declared that the thing that made him happiest in his life was when his two sons were made Roman Senators. | | | This worked well during the first two centuries of Rome’s existence when Rome was little more than a city-state built on seven hills and ruled by a king. | | | With the annexation of Spain, Macedonia, Greece, the East, and North Africa in the Second Century BC, Rome had come to control a vast empire and the Republic with its two consuls, senate, and small group of magistrates was not an adequate government for an empire of the size Rome had acquired. |

| | > Consul abcworld.net |
| | During times of war, the primary criterion for consul was military skill and reputation, but at all times the selection was politically charged. | | | Modern historians, however, have questioned the traditional account of plebeian emancipation during the Early Republic (see Conflict of the Orders), noting for instance that about thirty per cent of the consuls prior to Sextius had plebeian, not patrician, names. | | | As a result, after the formal end of the Roman Empire in the West, many years would be named for only a single consul. |

| | The History Of Rome, Book II - From the Abolition of the Monarchy in Rome to the Union of Italy by Theodor Mommsen ... |
| | With the election of the first non-patrician consul—the choice fell on one of the authors of this reform, the late tribune of the people, Lucius Sextius Lateranus—the clan-aristocracy ceased both in fact and in law to be numbered among the political institutions of Rome. | | | But it was not for nothing that the plebeian nobility had adopted the popular cause; it included the proposals in one single project of law, and after a long struggle—it is said of eleven years—the senate at length gave its consent and they passed in the year 387. | | | They were designed to deprive the nobles of their exclusive possession of the curule magistracies and of the hereditary distinctions of nobility therewith associated; which, it was characteristically conceived, could only be accomplished by the legal exclusion of the nobles from the place of second consul. |
