Han China vs. Ancient Rome: The Unification of Their Empires By JBR The empires of Han China and Ancient Rome, despite ruling opposite sides of the known world from about 300 BCE to 550 CE, implemented similar strategies to unify and retain control over their empires. In addition though, the sharp contrasts of eastern and western philosophies creating striking differences between these two civilizations. The abolishment of the aristocracy proved vital to the rise of both empires, but the more disciplinarian eastern philosophies of legalism, Confucianism, and the Mandate of Heaven allowed unification to return to China long after the collapse of both empires.

The Han empire began in 206 B.C. when Liu Bang, prince of Han, defeated the Qin army in the valley of Wei. The defeat was part of a larger rebellion that began after the First Emporer's death.
