Western Roman Empire Civil Tier 12

Divine Right

The monarch rules by grace of God.

Before Christianity, it was believed that the gods were responsible for every worldly and otherworldly happening. Investigation into more natural solutions revealed preliminary understanding of atomics, which fed into understanding of the elements. As the Romans conquered their philosophy expanded to become self-aggrandising; Rome conquered, thus Rome was right. Great edifices to their glory, and to the gods, were erected from concrete in impressively short timeframes. Christianity, and the notion of the Emperor's semi-divinity, later bolstered the self-absorbed notion of Roman philosophy and its outlook on the world - the Emperor was charged with the task of uniting the world, in the name of God! This notion persisted among the barbarian kingdoms that followed the Empire, into the Middle Ages and beyond - the monarch was chosen by God himself to rule on His behalf.
