Correct B. The empire expanded its territories.

Augustus was the very first Roman Emperor (even though he never actually claimed the official title) and during his 40-years reign, he almost doubled the size of the Roman empire, leading the transformation from republic to empire. He was so successful on his endeavors, going out of Rome to add territories in Europe and Asia and provinces in Britain and India, that he consolidated and achieved peace for Rome that lasted almost 200 years. He was a genius in many ways, he was able to put in place a system that consolidated his power and ruling even on the empire's most distant regions, through the establishment of censuses and taxation.

Correct D. All of the above.

The Mycenaeans, were a civilization that existed between the 1650 and 1200 BC and they are recognized as the advanced civilization in mainland archaic Greece. They were very much admired by their Greek successors for all of the contributions they made, such as the architecture of the remainings of the ruins of their cities, which consisted of big structures with massive walls that they continued to worship and admire. Their values and political structure were strongly influenced by the Mycenaeans and because of that, they preserved their Bellic character. Culture is an area that developed very strongly around the Mycenaean and it actually became the setting of the majority of the renowned and well known Greek literature, such as Homer's Iliad.
