In your opinion, which phenomenon had a more profound impact on Rome: the over extension of imperial power or the mass migration of peoples from Romes frontier? Why?
I'd say the mass of people moving into Rome was a more profound impact, mainly because of what that does to the population. With so many people entering the empire, goods such as money and food had to be distributed differently, the mood of the people would change, resulting in a very different culture. All of this would impact Rome in a manner that is unable to be fixed, unless a dictator could see this happening and make the corrections in a short enough time.

Chapter 6 Review Question
1) What were the main differences between Jesus and the other Jewish leaders of his day?
Jesus, while he was a political leader, looked at the world with different eyes than the Pharisees. While the Pharisees were mainly focused on outward, following the law, being morally good, etc., Jesus was more focused on the inner person, focusing on what people purpose in their hears. He generally hung around the lower classes, seeing the good in them, and using the higher classes to show what not to do. The pharisees weren't happy about this.
