It had a population of about twenty thousand people. Several interesting things about volcanos and Pompeii include its destruction, the science behind volcanoes, the environmental impact, and how it changed over time.

Ancient Rome is located on the Italian Peninsula and expanded to Asia, Africa large parts of Europe. Above the Italian Peninsula was the Alps which formed a natural barrier, Rome were settled along the Tiber River, and most of their land touched the Mediterranean Sea. Ancient Rome conquered large parts of Europe, Asia and Africa by going to war with different people. (Punic Wars) Ancient Romans grew grains, olives, and grapes. Natural resources were land, water and food.

The fall of Rome was a very important event in history. Many people claim that Rome fell due to military tactics, for governing or the massive size but the real reason for the fall of Rome was the lack of unity among its people.

Out of the seven continents in the world, Italy; The seventy second largest nation in the world is located in Europe. Italy is a boot-shaped country that covers 294,149 square kilometers of land and 7,200 square kilometers of water, totaling 301,340 square kilometers and is apart of the eastern Hemisphere and located in Southern Europe.

The Roman empire was large and powerful, expanding at one time into Italy, most of southern Europe, and some of northern Africa. The Roman empire prospered for many years before finally falling in 476 ad, after violence and corruption had left the empire weak and barely recognizable. The fall of this empire was caused by many factors, firstly barbarian invaders that challenged the empire’s safety and peace. These savages slowly infiltrated the empire's borders, and began to overtake the government. There was also a significant loss of control and corruption on the government's part. This began to tear the empire apart from the inside as Romans stopped trusting their government. Emperors Diocletian and Constantine tried to stop the looming fall

With towering mountains peaking to 2,795 feet and plummeting lowlands amounting to under 300 meters, Rome’s diverse geographical landscape has been identified as unique from ancient times all over the world (Cornell and Matthews 11-12). Originating near the Tiber River, Rome sprouted into a large empire by expanding its boundaries into the majority of Asia, the Mediterranean Islands, and northern Africa over the span of history (“Ancient Rome”). With further knowledge of the geography, specific events, achievements, and downfalls can be identified thoroughly. Therefore, for the duration of Rome’s flourishing civilization, certain geographical features such as the Mediterranean Sea, the Tiber River, and the Po River provided

Rome’s ascension to dominance is a story of legend. Many years after the peak of Greek society and the escapades of Alexander the Great, a relatively small tribe of Latins laid the foundations for what would become one of the greatest empires the world had ever seen. Western Asia, the entirety of the Mediterranean, and France, Germany, Spain, Britain and other parts of modern day Europe were united through a common Roman heritage. Drawing from the civilizations before them, this new city helped define law and politics as we view them today. Indeed the true legacy of Rome is its contribution towards democratic representation of the people and the revolution of social and political life that models our current system

In the late Roman Republic, the external expansion of early Rome was a surprise to many. The era of the great expansion of Roman power and civilization is the era of the Roman Republic, in which its Senate ruled Rome and its assembly, which were establishments, formed at the beginning of the monarchy. The Republic had a history of many conflicts, aiding the Republic in becoming so powerful, thus making Rome become unstoppable. But as we all know from the conflicts that aroused in the past with many other large city-states and Empire’s, with incredible power comes many dilemmas. The development of early Rome was fundamental to the rise and fall of the political and economic developments of the late Roman Republic.

A land without division. A land without a king. A land of equality stood with great power. It had the ability for great trade, protection, and a concrete structure of government. A land called Rome was a 1504-year-old city, before it collapsed. But why did it fall? Why did such a wealthy city go to ruins in a matter of years? What changed? Many people believe it was because of climate or religion, but I think it is much bigger than that. I believe it was because of leadership. Leadership was the start of a domino effect of disasters. It led to rebellion and a collapsing military. These were two big ideas/things that a big civilization needed to survive. So when they were tweaked everything fell apart. Something that may have seem so small turned out to be a big contrastive.

The manner in which the Romans treated those that they conquered had never been seen before in the ancient world. Despite forcing conquered areas into a set of obligations, such as payment of taxes and contribution of soldiers for the military, a province’s original culture was largely left untouched so long as its practices did not cause disruption to public affairs. It’s important to recognize the uniqueness of this strategy of conquest when viewing the sorts of art styles that emerged as a direct result of it. Though the original culture was preserved, this did not change the fact that a conquered area was officially a province of Rome, which would inevitably

The Tiber river was of vital importance to Romulus. This river flows from the Apennines mountains down into the banks of Rome. The Tiber river contributed to Romulus in the sense that he and his brother Remus were floated down this river. From here they were found by a she wolf. The kind shewolf protected them in tell the Sheppard found them. Romulus and Remus were then thoughtfully raised by the banks of the Tiber river. Despite the unfulfillable deed that the Sheppard had done the two boys decided that they were going to build a river on the Tiber river. However, this was brought to a fight of what the city shall be named. On that occasion Romulus won and killed his brother. Furthermore, he decided to name the city after himself. The city
