The power struggle in state in building up the Roman and China, two major empires in the history is the main theme of the paper. Body Paragraph 1 The difference in military power in Rome and China is worth talking about. Roman Empire does believe in the aristocratic collective. It is modeled after the traditional mechanism of patronage whereas in China military powers are marginalized by political-ideological power. Auelius and Confusicus believe in the human agency that human being lives in the cosmic world. Thus, the political power should be driven in natural order. How they both believe in the cosmic power need to be discussed.
