Wheat, barley, dates, celery, onion, garlic, mustard, sheep, goats, pigs are originated from here, for they carry cattle, donkeys for their transportation. According to the statistics: the SumerianPeople create38 of the worldThe first.
      The civilization is referred to as a dozen important civilization, has occupied the dominant position of civilization:
       Sumerian civilization (Sumer)

The continuation of three hundred yearsThe Hellenistic Age (Hellenistic period)Start.
      Greek civilization, not the end, only inheriting, until today.
      The first successor's name, the same great empire: Rome.
 
      Four legislators in Rome Empire
      Western Rome and Eastern Rome Empire (the Byzantine Empire)
 

      Gaius (110-180)
      Gaius, the Empire of Rome judge, his works are very rich, the most famous is "Institutes", a comprehensive interpretation of the elements of the law in Rome, became the Rome imperial civil law (Roman civil law) foundation.

      Papinian (146-212)
      PA Pigna UZ (Aemilius Papinianus), often called Palmer Irpinia, Rome Empire judge, he compiled the 56 judicial problems and referee work, these data of East Rome (Bai Zhanting) "the Empire of Justinian code" (Justinian Code) greatly influenced the formation.
      Rome for more than 2000 years, through the Kingdom, Republic, monarchy three times, the specific method of calculation, so far no unified view.
      The 1 Rome Empire time acknowledged: in 1453, this year, the Byzantine capital Constantinople, by the Osman empire.
      2. Rome's time, three arguments: the first 840 or 814 years or 753 years before founding, in April 21st, She-Wolf raised Romulus (Romulus) the construction of the Rome city day.
      If in accordance with the Rome city built in 753 BC, the Empire of Rome last time: 753+1453=2206.
      According to the myth of the kingdom of Rome in 840 BC, the continuation of the time: 840+1453=2293.
      This is the history of mankind's most lasting Empire, this 2000 years does not include the two known as the Rome Empire era Europe and russia.
      The WestThe "four poets"In two BC, was born in:
       Homer(Homer, about 850 years ago): the Iliad, Odyssey (Iliad) (Odyssey), the Troy War (Trojan War).
       Virgil(Virgil, 70- 19 BC): "Aeneas Ji" (Aeneid), sing the praises of Rome imperial ancestors Aeneas (Aeneas).
      The Romans is greek. Greece is not a nation but a concept: the Aegean Sea area of the city states, including Troy. "Homa epic" records: the battle of Troy, God the son of Venus, Prince Troy Aeneas led a group of surviving Troy fled collapsed homes, a wandering about six years, and finally in Italy Tiber River built new homes: the origin of the kingdom of Rome.
      In 28 BC, Rome from Republic to Empire, the first emperor Octavius was the Senate of Rome letter"Augustus",Octavius's friend, the poet Virgil (Virgil) sings the praises of Octavius and the Empire of Rome, and his famous epic "Aeneas Ji" (Aeneid), Aeneas Troy hero of history, was again confirmed as Roman history.
      Right: "Aeneas Troy" escape.
      Right: "Aeneas beatTurnus ",Turnus is the Italy tribal leaders, Aeneas beat him, settle down in Italy.
      USA movie "Troy" (Troy) end, Paris to Aeneas and others shouted: "as long as theAnd Troy's people live, our people have a future, protect them, Aeneas, as they found aA new home "(As long as it remains in the hands of a Trojan, our people have a future. Protect them Aeneas; find them a new home).
       Before twentieth Century, historians do not believe that the "Bible" records, but archaeological dig out "almost all city" mentioned in the bible.
      Before nineteenth Century, historians think "Homa epic" is a myth, but Archaeology discovered the ruins of the city of Troy.
      The Empire of Rome's two official languages: Latin, greek.
      Rome inherited the Greek civilization, especially the art of Greece: Greek mythology and myth of Rome almost one one corresponding, Greece every exquisite sculpture, were the Romans copied dozens or even hundreds of. In the field of law, unified Rome beyond Greece, the development and perfection of the legal system, create the thousand year reich.
      Rome Empire heyday of the two legislators, affecting Europe until the America history:
      Gaius (Gaius, 110-180), lay the foundation for the Rome civil code system.
       PA Pigna UZ (Papinian, 146-212), East Rome (Bai Zhanting) "Justinian code" (Justinian Code). It is this part of the world famous code, making Rome the revival of the Empire, the Byzantine Empire continued in 1058.

      Justinian I (483-565)
      Justinian, Byzantine emperor, he ordered jurist Terry Bonnie Ann (Tribonian) conversion of the Rome judicial code and full become "Justinian code" (Justinian Code), he used a lot of rules and precedents, added "Justinian code".
      This is the most complete of Rome code, formerly known as "Rome Daquan" (Corpus Iuris Civilis), commonly known as "Justinian code".

      Tribonian (about 500-547)
      Terry Bonnie Ann, the Byzantine Empire, the judge, the person in charge Char J Martin Ni Thi designated legal compilation committee.
      Rome empire in ancient Greek Byzantine (Byzantine) to build second capital, similar to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Western Zhou Dynasty Chinese, Eastern Han dynasty. As the capital city of Rome to the Byzantine Empire was historians called the Rome Empire, or the Byzantine Empire (Byzantine Empire), as follows:
      In the year 127 is the Rome prosperous period: an area of 6500000 square kilometers, a population of 88000000. This is Gaius (Gaius, 110-180) lay the civil code system, PA Pigna UZ (Papinian, 146-212) published 56 The judicial work period (right). 
       324 years, Constantin Thi established the city of Constantine (City of Constantine), also known as the new Rome (New Rome), later known as constantinople. More than two thousand families moved to the new capital.
      395 years, Theodor Si Thi (Theodosius I, in 379-395) died, he put the Rome Empire to his two sons: two capital of Rome, is formally divided into two Rome empire. So, 395 years is usually historians believe is the Byzantine Empire began the year (right).
      The difference between things in Rome, three points should be emphasized:
      1 of Rome's Christian Catholic, orthodox Byzantine Christianity became.
      2 East Rome (Bai Zhanting) Empire, in the Greek language, known as the greek.
      3. East Char J Martin Ni of Rome, "Char J Martin Ni" was compiled code: West Rome have been destroyed, the East Rome army counterattack West territory of Rome, had recovered a lot of West Rome area.
      On the right is Char J Martin Ni recovered sketch map of West Rome:
       Green: Rome Empire heyday of the territory.
      Blue: the Char J Martin Ni era of the West Rome Empire, including the city of Rome.
      No other question things in Rome discussed here, only emphasize the importance of the law:
      First, the Empire of Rome Dingsheng period before and after 127 years is the most mature period for the Rome law.
      Second, the west after the fall of Rome, east of Rome in Western Rome Char J Martin Ni sent troops to recover large territory of Rome Renaissance is "the Char J Martin Ni code" to produce and implement period.
      The Byzantine Empire lasted one thousand years (395-1453=1058 years), there are many other reasons. For example, unlike Rome, Constantinople, surrounded on three sides by the sea, the invention and use of gunpowder Greek fire (Greek fire): can explode and burn to destroy the enemy fleet in the water, all from the sea attack all failed.
      Therefore, the continuation of two thousand years of the Empire of Rome the four most important lawmaker statue, entered the USA house.
