The 2nd century is the period from 101 to 200 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian/Common Era. It is considered part of the Classical era, epoch, or historical period Early in the century, the Roman Empire attained its greatest expansion under the emperor Trajan, but after his death became primarily defensive for the rest of its history. Much prosperity took place throughout the empire at this time, ruled as it were by the Five Good Emperors, a succession of just and able rulers. This period also saw the removal of the Jews from Jerusalem during the reign of Hadrian after Bar Kokhba's revolt. The last quarter of the century saw the end of the period of peace and prosperity known as the Pax Romana at the death of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, last of the "Five Good Emperors", and the accession of his ineffective and deranged son Commodus. Although the Han Dynasty of China was firmly cemented into power and extended its imperial influence into Central Asia during the first half of the century, by the second half there was widespread corruption and open rebellion. This set in motion its ultimate decline, until it was overthrown in 220. From Wikipedia under the

Christianity, as it became Churchianity, became a religion of idolatry -- idolatry of their own fallacious conceptual understanding of Jesus, which they mistook for being spiritual truth, &, in time, idolatry of fallible men's *words* -- which some of them apotheosized as the scriptures. It was not purity that apotheosized the Bible. Contemporary Christianity, in largest part, continues to be a religion of idolatry -- of their beliefs about "Jesus" & of the Bible. It's an abstract idolatry -- an idolatry of a theology, of a belief system, thus is a considerably more virulent idolatry than merely idolizing a figure of wood, stone or… [cont.] Answered by wynnmanners - Fri Dec 12 21:11:40 2008 what were the impacts of the expansion of rome up to the mid 2nd century BC? Q. what were the impacts of the expansion of rome up to the mid 2nd century BC? Asked by Bean - Sun Jun 13 09:46:37 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. That's a pretty broad question but I'll try to give an answer, though it may be fairly vague. I'm answering under the assumption you mean on others rather than on the Roman political or military system. Rome's expansion led to a unified Italy, which eventually became a pretty cohesive unit with few regions willing to break from Rome when given the opportunity. This had brought them into armed conflict with the Greeks (Epirus) which gave people an example of their tenacity. By the end of the 2nd Century they had clashed with Macedonia a number of times effectively removing them as a power and took over Greece. A major influence due to Greece's cultural heritage. They also forced Gauls out of northern Italy, but more important events would… [cont.] Answered by unknown - Sun Jun 13 10:39:07 2010 Writers of the 2nd half of the 20th century?
