091003. Untitled. Ancient History and Archaeology.com - Roman Domestic Slavery. Slaves played an important role in the running of the Roman house. Often intimately involved with the lives of their masters, they often received trust and affection. In turn, they often felt great loyalty towards their owners. But even the most liberal householder would be willing to punish their slaves if necessary. The slaves inferior position was also always emphasised, no matter how highly regarded they were by their masters. The Roles of Slaves. Slaves were involved in a range of jobs. But certain slaves had specialised roles that brought them into intimate contact with the family. Slaves and the Roman Family. In a good household, every slave was part of the wider familia. Funerary evidence demonstrates this close relationship. Slaves and Domestic Roman Religion. Religion was another way slaves were included in and bound to their master’s family.

Inscriptions have been found on some household shrines in Pompeii which demonstrate the loyalty and concern slaves felt for their masters. Bibliography.

Slavery in ancient Rome differed from its modern forms in that it was not based on race. But like modern slavery, it was an abusive and degrading institution. Cruelty was commonplace. A common practice Slavery had a long history in the ancient world and was practiced in Ancient Egypt and Greece, as well as Rome. Most slaves during the Roman Empire were foreigners and, unlike in modern times, Roman slavery was not based on race. Slaves in Rome might include prisoners of war, sailors captured and sold by pirates, or slaves bought outside Roman territory. Life as a slave All slaves and their families were the property of their owners, who could sell or rent them out at any time. Although Romans accepted slavery as the norm, some people – like the poet and philosopher, Seneca – argued that slaves should at least be treated fairly.

Essential labor Slaves worked everywhere – in private households, in mines and factories, and on farms. Manumission Informal manumission gave fewer rights.

Figure 1 shows the parts of a computer: This part of the reading will examine the CPU, Buses, Controllers, and Main Memory. Other sections will examine input devices, output devices, and secondary memory. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) The computer does its primary work in a part of the machine we cannot see, a control center that converts data input to information output. This control center, called the central processing unit (CPU), is a highly complex, extensive set of electronic circuitry that executes stored program instructions.

Before we discuss the control unit and the arithmetic/logic unit in detail, we need to consider data storage and its relationship to the central processing unit. Recall that a computer's memory holds data only temporarily, at the time the computer is executing a program. Now let us consider the components of the central processing unit. Logical operations can test for three conditions: Equal-to condition. NU HIST 2055, Lecture 32: The Punic Wars. Nipissing University History 2055 -- Ancient Civilizations Steve Muhlberger The three Punic Wars -- so called because the Latin word for Phoenician was "Punic" -- were a very long process, lasting over a century, with breaks: 265-146 B.C. In that process, the merchant republic of Carthage was destroyed. Even more important, to us at least, is that Rome defeated its only serious rival in the Western Mediterranean. The Punic Wars were a formative experience for Rome. In the 260s, Rome and Carthage they had a long tradition of cooperation behind them.

Why the conflict? First, now that Rome had control of all of South Italy, it was in direct contact with Sicily. Second, in 265, a mere ten years after Pyrrhus returned to Greece, Rome quite deliberately stuck its nose into Sicily. Here is the situation in 265. This dispute had little intrinsic importance, like those that began the Second Peloponnesian War or the First World War of this century. By 243, both sides were in terrible shape. B.H. Roman Government. NB: This diagram shows the ladder of political advancement (cursus honorum) during the late Republic.

The straight ladder shows the typical path of advancement (theoretically open to all freeborn male citizens), beginning with election to quaestor, the lowest office, and proceeding to consul, the highest (of course very few men made it that far; it was quite exceptional when a man like Cicero, who did not come from a noble family, was elected consul).

Red text designates “curule magistrates,” who had the right to sit on a special ivory folding stool (sella curulis) as a symbol of their office; they also had the right to wear the purple-bordered toga (toga praetexta). Offices marked with an asterisk carried imperium, the highest political authority, which included the right to command an army, to interpret and carry out the law, and to pass sentences of death. During the Empire, most of these offices remained in place, though their functions changed. Principles of Structure: Magistrates: Book 2: ‘Secession’ of the Plebeians. Book 2: ‘Secession’ of the Plebeians 2.23 – Anger of the Common People: Debt Crisis But a war with the Volscians was imminent, and the State was torn with internal dissensions; the patricians and the plebeians were bitterly hostile to one another, owing mainly to the desperate condition of the debtors.

They loudly complained that whilst fighting in the field for liberty and empire they were oppressed and enslaved by their fellow-citizens at home; their freedom was more secure in war than in peace, safer amongst the enemy than amongst their own people. The discontent, which was becoming of itself continually more embittered, was still further inflamed by the signal misfortunes of one individual. An old man, bearing visible proofs of all the evils he had suffered, suddenly appeared in the Forum. His clothing was covered with filth, his personal appearance was made still more loathsome by a corpse-like pallor and emaciation, his unkempt beard and hair made him look like a savage.

D-type Flip Flop Counter or Delay Flip-flop. But in order to prevent this from happening an inverter can be connected between the “SET” and the “RESET” inputs to produce another type of flip flop circuit known as a Data Latch, Delay flip flop, D-type Bistable, D-type Flip Flop or just simply a D Flip Flop as it is more generally called. The D Flip Flop is by far the most important of the clocked flip-flops as it ensures that ensures that inputs S and R are never equal to one at the same time. The D-type flip flop are constructed from a gated SR flip-flop with an inverter added between the S and the R inputs to allow for a single D (data) input.

Then this single data input, labelled D, is used in place of the “set” signal, and the inverter is used to generate the complementary “reset” input thereby making a level-sensitive D-type flip-flop from a level-sensitive RS-latch as now S = D and R = not D as shown. D-type Flip-Flop Circuit Thus this single input is called the “DATA” input.

With respect to counter operation, synchronous means that all the flip-flops in the counter are clocked at teh same time by a common clock pulse. In this type of counter the clock pulse are applied to the CP inputs of all flip-flops.The common pulse trigger all the flip-flops simultanously, rather than one at a time in succession as in the ripple counter.This increases the speed of operation of the counters.The pulse to be counted are applied at the clock input terminal. High-frequency operations require that all the flip-flops of a counter be triggered at the same time to prevent errors.

We use a Synchronous counter for this type of operation. Working of a three-stage synchronous counter : A logic diagram of a three-stage synchronous counter is shown in Fig.4.17(a). Clock pulse 1 causes FF1 to set. As clock pulse 2 goes LOW, FF1 resets, turning off lamp A. Outlines of Roman History, Chapter 13. The Sovereign Roman State, I. —The Subject Communities, II. —The Military System, III. The Sovereign and Subject Communities. —To understand properly the history of Rome, we must study not only the way in which she conquered her territory, but also the way in which she organized and governed it.

The study of her wars and battles is less important than the study of her policy. Rome was always learning lessons in the art of government. The Subject Territory. This method of governing Italy was, in some respects, based upon the policy which had formerly been adopted for the government of Latium (see p. 77). The Roman Army. This arrangement enabled the companies in front to retreat into the spaces in the rear, or the companies in the rear to advance to the spaces in front. Merivale, Gen. ROMAN AND LATIN COLONIES. 1 The figure in parenthesis refers to the number of the topic in the Appendix, where a fuller title of the book will be found. Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854), LATIUM.

The name of Latium was applied at different periods in a very different extent and signification. Originally, as already pointed out, it meant the land of the Latini; and as long as that people retained their independent national existence, the name of Latium could only be applied to the territory possessed by them, exclusive of that of the Hernici, Aequians, Volscians, &c., who were at that period independent and often hostile nations. It was not till these separate nationalities had been merged into the common condition of subjects and citizens of Rome that the name of Latium came to be extended to all the territory which they had previously occupied; and was thus applied, first in common parlance, and afterwards in official usage, to the whole region from the borders of Etruria to those of Campania, or from the Tiber to the Liris.

The case appears to have been somewhat similar, though to a less degree, on the northern frontier, where the Latins adjoined the Sabines. 1. 2. 3. World History Timeline History of Ancient Rome: the Republic. Roman army. It can be said that the Roman army was born with Rome itself, for the founders of the city had to take up arms at once to defend themselves against the attacks of the neighboring Latin peoples. Throughout the centuries, the Romans owed their victories over so many peoples, some of whom were of great military strength, to the superiority of their arms and military organization.

In Rome it was the duty of every male citizen to provide himself with weapons and to serve in the army at his own expense. The very poorest were excused from this obligation but, in cases of great need, they too were armed at the expense of the State. Citizens between the ages of 17 and 45, called juniores (young men), formed the regular army, while those from 46 to 60, called seniores (elders), formed a kind of territorial force, which was employed only behind the lines. To prove that they could stand up to fatigue, the young men used to practice with much heavier weapons than those they would use in war. Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet. World History Timeline History of Ancient Rome: the Republic. Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface - David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy. Overflow Detection. Arithmetic operations have a potential to run into a condition known as overflow.

Overflow occurs with respect to the size of the data type that must accommodate the result. Overflow indicates that the result was too large or too small to fit in the original data type. When two signed 2's complement numbers are added, overflow is detected if: both operands are positive and the result is negative, or both operands are negative and the result is positive. When two unsigned numbers are added, overflow occurrs if there is a carry out of the leftmost bit. 040_overflow. ===================================================== The CARRY flag and OVERFLOW flag in binary arithmetic ===================================================== - Ian! D. Allen - idallen@idallen.ca - www.idallen.com Do not confuse the "carry" flag with the "overflow" flag in integer arithmetic. Each flag can occur on its own, or both together. The CPU's ALU doesn't care or know whether you are doing signed or unsigned mathematics; the ALU always sets both flags appropriately when doing any integer math.
