Question

What does the period starting from Augustus's reign (27 BCE) known as?

• A. Principate
• B. Renaissance
• C. Reformation
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Principate

The Principate is the name sometimes given to the first period of the Roman Empire from the beginning of the reign of Augustus in 27 BC to the end of the Crisis of the Third Century in 284 AD, after which it evolved into the so-called Dominate. Hence, Option A is correct.

Among the rest of the options, The Renaissance was a period in European history marking the transition from the Middle Ages to Modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries.

The Reformation (alternatively named the Protestant Reformation or the European Reformation) was a movement within Western Christianity in the sixteenth-century Europe that posed a religious and political challenge to the Roman Catholic Church and papal authority in particular. Hence, these are incorrect.
