The Han Dynasty and Imperial Rome each had forms of centralized governments

The Han Dynasty and Imperial Rome each had forms of centralized governments. In each civilization (in the Han Dynasty, Han Wudi, and in the Roman Empire, Julius Caesar) a male political leader worked very hard to form a respectable form of a centralized government. As said in our textbooks, Han Wudi worked extremely hard to increase the authority and prestige of the central government. He built an enormous bureaucracy. Similarly, Julius Caesar fought to gain respect. Caesar, though, won his through battles fought and won. Once Caesar did make a name for himself, he was quick to take control and centralize the government underneath him. This method of political control proved to be very effective and it makes complete sense.
