Paper Summary:

This paper examines the new era of Western Civilization brought on by Charlemagne and Augustus in the Roman and Germanic societies respectively. The paper then argues that their similarities led to an integration of the cultures during Charlemagne's rule.

From the Paper:

"After conquering the Saxons, he forced them to submit to his rule and convert to Christianity, integrating Germanics and Christianity. "They (the Saxons) were sometimes so much weakened and reduced that they promised to denounce the worship of devils and to adopt Christianity." These policies of merging ideals mirrored those of the Romans and planted the roots for a medieval society that would ensue after Charlemagne's death. Augustus differed from Charlemagne and the Roman Imperialists on these policies, he was a peaceful ruler."
