New Rome
New Rome (, ''Néa Rhṓmē''; ; ; ) was the original name given by the Roman emperor Constantine the Great to his new imperial capital in 330 CE, which was built as an expansion of the city of Byzantium on the European coast of the Bosporus strait. The city was founded as Byzantion () by Megarian colonists in 657 BCE. It was renamed by Constantine the Great first as "New Rome" (''Nova Roma'') during the official dedication of the city as the new Roman capital in 330 CE, which he soon afterwards changed to Constantinople (''Constantinopolis''). The city was officially renamed as Istanbul in the 20th century, after the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Constantine essentially rebuilt the city on a monumental scale from 326 to 330, partly modeling it after Rome. Names of this period included , "the New, second Rome"; , ; , "Byzantine Rome"; , "Eastern Rome"; and ''Roma Constantinopolitana''. The term "New Rome" was used to indicate that Byzantium, thereafter C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nova Roma
Nova Roma () is an international Roman reconstructionist, cultural revivalist, and educational nonprofit organization formed in 1998, later incorporated in Maine. Nova Roma is dedicated to promoting "the restoration of classical Roman religion, culture, and virtues" and "shared Roman ideals".Trinkle, D. A./Merriman, S. A: ''The history highway: a 21st century guide to Internet resources'', p. 464. M.E. Sharpe, 2006 Notable for providing extensive resources about Roman culture, Latin, ancient Roman costuming and reenactment, Nova Roma aims to be more than a community of reenactors or history study group. Based on the reconstructed Roman ceremonies and spiritual aspects of the activities of Nova Roma, Strimska, Davy, Adler, Gallagher-Ashcraft, and Chryssides have noted its importance to Roman reconstructionism. Because it has a structure based on the ancient Roman Republic, with a senate, magistrates, laws enacted by vote of the '' comitia'', its own coinage,American Numismat ...

Translatio Imperii
is a historiographical concept that was prominent among medieval thinkers and intellectuals in Europe, but which originated from earlier concepts in antiquity. According to this concept, the notion of ''decline and fall'' of an empire is theoretically replaced by a natural succession from one empire to another. ''Translatio'' implies that an empire can metahistorically be transferred from hand to hand and place to place, from Troy to Romans and Greeks to Franks (both claiming to be Romans) and further on to Spain, and has therefore survived.Pocock, J.G.A. (2003) ''Barbarism and Religion'', Cambridge University Press , Chapter 7 The historiography of the translatio imperii(pp. 127–150) DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511490675.009 In classic antiquity, an authoritative user of this scheme was Virgil, who has been traditionally ranked as one of Rome's greatest poets.

Pax Americana
''Pax Americana'' (Latin for , modeled after ''Pax Romana'' and ''Pax Britannica''), often identified with the " Long Peace", is a term applied to the concept of relative peace in the Western Hemisphere and later in the world after the end of World War II in 1945, when the United States of America became the world's foremost economic, cultural, and military power exercising primary responsibilities for world order. Though in large measure based on consent and cooperation, the defining feature of the Pax Americana is unipolarity, world organization around a single center of power. In this sense, ''Pax Americana'' has come to describe the military and economic position of the United States relative to other nations. In the aftermath of World War II the American federal government enacted the Marshall Plan, the transferring of US$13.3 billion (the equivalent of $173 billion in 2023) in economic recovery programs to Western European countries; the Marshall Plan has been described ...

Times New Roman
Times New Roman is a serif typeface commissioned for use by the British newspaper ''The Times'' in 1931. It has become one of the most popular typefaces of all time and is installed on most personal computers. The typeface was conceived by Stanley Morison, the artistic adviser to the British branch of the printing equipment company Monotype, in collaboration with Victor Lardent, a lettering artist in ''The Times's'' advertising department. Asked to advise on a redesign, Morison recommended that ''The Times'' change their body text typeface from a spindly nineteenth-century face to a more robust, solid design, returning to traditions of printing from the eighteenth century and before. This matched a common trend in printing tastes of the period. Morison proposed an older Monotype typeface named Plantin as a basis for the design, and Times New Roman mostly matches Plantin's dimensions. The main change was that the contrast between strokes was enhanced to give a crisper image. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Third Rome
The continuation, succession, and revival of the Roman Empire is a running theme of the history of Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. It reflects the lasting memories of power, prestige, and unity associated with the Roman Empire. Several polities have claimed immediate continuity with the Roman Empire, using its name or a variation thereof as their own exclusive or non-exclusive self-description. As centuries went by and more political ruptures occurred, the idea of institutional continuity became increasingly debatable. The most enduring and significant claimants of continuation of the Roman Empire have been, in the East, the Ottoman Empire and Russian Empire, which both claimed succession of the Byzantine Empire after 1453; and in the West, the Carolingian Empire (9th century) and the Holy Roman Empire from 800 to 1806. Many of these claims were monarchist in nature, with the ethnic or national identity of the Ancient Romans never actually becoming established among the com ...
