Roman Empire Thesis
Mauryan/Gupta India (320 BCE - 550 CE) and The Roman Empire (31 BCE - 476 CE) had very distinct methods of political control based on everything from geographic limitations and cultural reasons. Many factors were present affecting differences and similarities between the two. For starters, unity was difficult in india because of its geography that created sort of a seperation. however, the geography made it more open to outer influences like the Aryans. rome was more or less unified geographically, as it had many rolling hills instead of mountain ranges in parts of india. The speration in india resulted in many things like languages, no continous bureaucracy, and no sense of political service. whereas the roman empire, though divided into many city states, there was the common language of latin, and the well organized government that had a good political system, but it still lacked unity. so both empires had limitations in the sense of unification but rome was better for organizing systems geographically.
