Throughout The Early Years Ce, And Even A Little Back Before

The Roman Empire was one of the largest empires the world has ever seen. The power and size they managed to obtain has been a constant subject of interest for historians and all those who are interested in history. Julius Caesar’s ascension to power marked the time from where the Romans steadily expanded their territory and by the time the Roman Republic dissolved and the Roman Empire emerged, the Empire had become so big that the Romans had then to face the problem of maintaining their empire. The Roman Empire maintained its power by

In its time, the Roman Empire was the largest empire the world had ever seen. The fact that the Romans were able to control and obtain an empire of this size was due to plenty of factors, but the main ones are the Roman army, the Roman roads, Pax Romana, the borders of the empire, and the benefits of the barbarians who became ruled by the empire. On their own, these factors wouldn’t do much at all, but such a combination brought great success.

After the Punic Wars, Rome controlled all of Italy, Sicily, much of Spain and part of Africa, as well as Greece and the eastern Mediterranean world. As you can see, at that time Rome and Carthage had very

Between approximately 509 BCE and the third century CE the Roman empire continually expanded and became one of the largest in history. While this expansion was due to many reasons, not the least of which was greed, to a great extent it was made possible because of Rome's overwhelming military and its combination of a democratic and republic government.

As can be seen, the Roman Empire was great for its time in more ways that one, with its undefeatable strength and size . It was greater than the empires before it

The Roman Empire was or could be one of the greatest empires to have ever existed to this day. Just like many empires the Roman Empire fell to betrayal, religion, and war. Lasting from 27BC to 1453 the Roman Empire to me is the most interesting empire to talk about. When you take any history class that explores times outside the US, you hear about the Roman Empire being involved some way or somehow. The Roman Empire history can go on for days. I will pack most of the history into a small 5 page essay and if you don’t know anything about the Roman Empire, You will have a better understanding and will more than likely see why I believe the Roman Empire was one of the greatest of all time.

The era dominated by Roman empire is one the most well-known and influential periods of history, home to famous names from Julius Caesar to Jesus Christ. At its height, Rome’s territory stretched from the Atlantic coastline to the Middle East, reigning over 60 million people, one-fifth of the population of the ancient world. However, the Roman empire’s treatment of their conquered people’s and their own citizens ultimately led to the permanent downfall of Rome.

The Roman Empire, once one of the largest and most powerful empires in history, conquered the whole Mediterranean region and spread throughout the Middle East, Western and Central Europe and even Northern Africa. It reached its pinnacle during 100 and 200 AD but then slowly began to unravel. As it has been said, “Rome wasn’t built in a day” so it certainly didn’t take only a day for Rome to fall. Rome began to face many issues during the third century. The Roman Empire became much too large to manage.

The Romans were a extraordinary power during 509 BC–27 BC. Their government, fighting styles, and armies were exceptional for the time, and even now. Because of all the initiative the Romans took, they were able to reign for a long and prosperous time. Even after their demise, people still follow and respect what they were able to accomplish.

Rome conquered and benefitted from numerous, widespread interactions. They interacted in both peaceful and violent ways. Rome had to revitalize after every Punic War. The Punic Wars consisted of three different wars between Rome and Carthage. Although Rome conquered Carthage in all three wars, they suffered many losses in each war and never crushed Carthage until the third Punic War. Through the conquering of Carthage, Rome was able to expand their borders and become the uncontested leaders of the Mediterranean world. During Pax Romana(31 B.C.- AD 180), Rome increased their trade with other nations. This allowed for a blending of cultures in the Roman empire that would’ve been inaccessible otherwise. They rid the Mediterranean of piracy which

The Roman Empire is considered one of the most powerful empire in history. It influenced many cultures and societies. The Roman army was feared throughout Europe because it was vast in size. Even though it had many problems throughout its reign, it had lasted for over five hundred years The Roman Empire demonstrated the strength needed to rule so many other countries and cities, setting the foundation for other governments (modeling for other countries?) .

With the introduction of the hoplite phalanx to the Roman army, came a multitude of wars and long drawn out campaigns that the Romans were involved in throughout the republic period. One such campaign or campaigns that set the Roman republic as the uncontested superpower in the Mediterranean was the Punic Wars. Rome fought three wars against Carthage between 264 and 146 BCE. These wars constituted major events in the history of Rome and the Mediterranean basin (Marcel Le Glay 2009) p. 73. Though these wars were fought for reasons such as competing economics, revenge (most notably the Carthaginian general Hannibal), and a fear that could be related in today’s terms of opposing forces such as (the United States and Soviet Union feared each other during the Cold War) the fact is in the end Rome defeated the Carthaginians, not only were the Carthaginians defeated, but the city of Carthage was demolished and the people massacred or sold into slavery so as not to threaten the Romans ever again. In the fall of the city, in obedience to the Senate’s orders the inhabitants were reduced to slavery or forced to emigrate, the town was burnt and soil was

The Roman empire is considered one of the most powerful and longest lasting empire of all time by most historians. At its peak the Roman empire managed to take control and rule nearly the whole inhabited world at the time. Though their military achievements were outstanding the Romans also excelled at legislature. The Romans ran a governmental system which was most like a republic which the power was in the hand of the senators and patricians. The senators and patricians were mostly extremely rich elders of the community who linked themselves to gods. Though the people were the ones who voted for the senators the rich always voted who they wanted because they were the first to vote which made the senate corrupt since the lower classes barely got a say. Although the Roman empire was extremely successful historians are always doing research to figure out what elements led to its collapse. However, the Roman legislature, use of propaganda to sway public opinion, military power to conquer lands, and philosophy were essential reasons for the extended survival of the Roman empire.

“Rome is known as one of the most successful empires in all of the worlds history” (Plumley,2017). Rome first started out as a republic and on down the road it turned into a dictatorship. Two emperors Sulla and Caesar were the two biggest dictators of the Roman Empire. How the Roman Empire was based and founded on a myth. Romulus and Remus supposedly founded the city and helped establish

Rome, considered by most the greatest empire of the ancient world, stretched from modern day England to Palestine and was more successful than all previous Empires. Rome's government, military, economic and civic structures were all superior to those of their predecessors.
