Why Did Constantine The Great Choose To Build His Eastern Capital Where He Did?
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The significant strides made by Constantine the Great to bring unity back to the empire called for relocation of the capital that currently stood in Rome. Having been instrumental in reforming government and consolidating the Church, the Emperor had no intention of keeping the capital where it was due to a number of reasons, not the least of which included its unfavorably distant proximity to the Imperial courts, legions and eastern Imperial boundary because of its central location. Additionally, the ruinous aspects of malaria and flooding - not to mention Rome being overrun with detached politicians - made the decision to move all the more effortless. Constantine ultimately chose Byzantium as his capital's idyllic location, boasting most confidently of its two primary attributes - "strategic significance…situated at the crossroads of two continents, Europe and Asia" (Lascaratos) and a fortress that would endow him with supreme protection against enemy attack, the latter of which was a conviction that became the capital's inevitable undoing.

Women And Revolt In Urban France
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Urban France underwent significant changes to its economic, political and social landscape during the formation of early modern Europe. Revolts were considered rather commonplace with regard to the need for such change, illustrating how the subservient population ultimately dealt with elitist control of the monarchy. Interestingly, however, is the extent to which women had a part in the violent uprisings that sprung up throughout the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; theirs was a participation based primarily upon the detrimental social and economic impact such issues as the stiff rise in taxation, religious oppression and high food costs had upon the home. Indeed, it was difficult enough to maintain the home front without these added burdens; as such, women felt it was time for their collective voices to be heard. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
