Years Of Its Existence Rome Years Of Its Existence City

Romulus Augustus was the son of the emperor Julius
Nepos' Pannonian master general Orestes. He is
perhaps better known by his diminutive nickname,
Romulus Augustulus, which means, Little Augustus."
It is one of the odd coincidences of history that
Rome's first and last emperor, in the West at
least, should be named Augustus. Earlier in the
year 475, Orestes revolted against Nepos, who fled
to Salon. Orestes put his son on the throne
instead of claiming it himself because he had no
Roman blood bu...

The Opium War only lasted from 1839 - 1842 and
1856 - 1860, but it was far more devastating to
China's view as the center of the world. China had
always treated the outside as inferior and felt
that when faced with conflict they could overcome
them. Until the nineteenth century, China had been
able to withstand the Western Powers not because
they were stronger, but because of a lack of
conflict. What the Qing dynasty, the emperor
family at reign during this time period, could not
know was this c...

periods: the Earlier or Western Han and the Later
or Eastern Han. In between these two was the
