Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.18 Rome and the Byzantine Empire skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A Byzantine chronicler records rebuilding after a siege and notes that imperial clerks quickly restored tax records and court sessions.

Which statement best explains why this response mattered?

ARebuilding proves the empire was never attacked.

BTax records matter only for private families, not the state.

CRapid restoration of administration shows strong institutions that can recover from shocks, supporting long-term continuity.

DCourts are irrelevant to an empire’s survival.

Solution & Explanation:Survival depends on restoring core functions—taxation and justice—so the state can pay defenses and maintain order after crises.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An emperor offers citizenship to a community but requires new taxes and military recruits. Community leaders accept, hoping for legal protection and status.

Which statement best describes this bargain?

ACitizenship was a gift with no duties attached.

BCitizenship functioned as an exchange: rights and prestige for obligations that supported imperial strength.

CTaxes and recruits weaken the empire by definition.

DLegal protection was unrelated to citizenship.

Solution & Explanation:Rome used citizenship to integrate communities while gaining resources; the exchange of benefits for duties is central to imperial governance.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A jurist in Constantinople cites Roman precedents, but he also notes that some penalties are adjusted to match Christian moral teaching.

Which statement best describes this legal development?

AIt shows that Roman law was erased and replaced completely.

BIt proves Christianity ended all punishment.

CIt proves Byzantium returned to the Twelve Tables only.

DIt shows continuity in legal method (precedent and codification) alongside value changes shaped by Christianity.

Solution & Explanation:Using precedents and codes is Roman in method, while altered penalties reflect changing moral frameworks.
