Question

Compare and contrast the empires of ancient Rome and China. Be sure to explore religion, government, life for peasants, and public works. How were the empires similar and different?

Answer 1

The Han Dynasty emerged as a principal power in East Asia in 221 BCE after the fall of the Qin Dynasty in 206 BCE. They pioneered a political system and social structure in China that lasted for almost 2,000 years. They rapidly advanced Chinese technology, and created the cultural and political foundations for much of East Asia. Their influence is so profound that the majority of China's people still refer to themselves as "people of Han" , and Chinese history refers to the period of the Hans Dynasty as a golden age.
the Roman Empire controlled the Western Mediterranean. The Roman people made unprecedented advances in science and technology, and organized an economy that was hitherto unprecedented in the Mediterranean. The Romans had different engineering accomplishments, than that of the Han. They laid down a legal code that forms the basis of most western legal codes. They left institutions, technology and infrastructure that would influence successors for centuries to come.
