When people hear or see the word “Rome”, many of them think of the ancient Roman culture. The Roman culture consists of the Roman Gods, myths, their way of life, and arts. The surveyors wrote things such as “Romans Gods”, “Jesus”, “Architecture”, and “Ancient”. But the most surprising thing was that barely any of the surveyors mentioned Rome’s dark side; conquership, enslavement of people, forcing other people to fight for entertainment, and most of all, the struggle for power;.

One of the greatest civilizations ever born was the Roman Empire.  When it started off Rome was known as a “sleepy little town”(Background essay) that had awakened once the Greek empire began to fall.  During the time of Julius Caesar was when Rome turned from republic to an Empire with Caesar as its first emperor.  Soon over the years Rome became a powerhouse with its lands stretching all around the Mediterranean Sea.  However unlike other civilizations where they fell because of other civilizations, Rome fell from within its walls because of several possible reasons and theories.

The purpose of this research paper is to analyze the Roman Empire and the culture within that civilization from 43-306 C.E.

Many ancient civilizations have had everlasting impacts on the modern world. It is Rome though that has had the most considerable and prominent influence when connecting both the ancient and modern world. Edited by Isabella Marinaro and Bjørn Thomassen, Global Rome: Changing Faces of the Eternal City introduces the idea that, “Rome is not only a system of economic interrelations or a knot in a hierarchy of world cities. In this symbolic and imaginary respect, Rome is first of all an icon, a brand, and a globally famous one” (29 Global Rome).
