Ancient Rome
3 months ago
Ancient Rome, a civilization that began as a small town on the Tiber River, grew into a vast empire encompassing much of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Its influence is still felt today through language, law, architecture, and political systems. The empire's history is often divided into the Roman Republic (509-27 BC) and the Roman Empire (27 BC - 476 AD in the West, 1453 AD in the East). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Key Aspects of Ancient Rome:
• Founding and Early History: According to legend, Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC. The early Romans established a republic after overthrowing their king, and the Roman Republic eventually expanded its territory through conquest and diplomacy. [1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11]
• Expansion and Governance: The Republic saw the rise of powerful generals and political struggles, eventually leading to the rise of Julius Caesar and the transition to an empire. [1, 3]
• The Roman Empire: The first emperor, Augustus, ushered in a period of peace and prosperity known as the Pax Romana. The empire reached its greatest extent under Emperor Trajan. [1, 3, 12, 13]
• Decline and Fall: The empire eventually weakened due to internal strife, economic problems, and external invasions, eventually splitting into Western and Eastern halves, with the Western Roman Empire falling in 476 AD and the Eastern (Byzantine) Empire lasting until 1453 AD. [1, 13]
• Contributions: Ancient Rome left a lasting legacy in law, language (Romance languages are derived from Latin), architecture (aqueducts, roads, arches), and political systems. The United States government was influenced by the Roman Republic's system of checks and balances, according to National Geographic Kids. [1, 2, 14]
• Culture: Ancient Rome was heavily influenced by Greek culture, but also developed its own unique aspects in philosophy, literature, and art. [2, 15]
