Ancient Roman Civilization

Ancient Roman Civilization, flourishing from the 8th century BCE to the 5th century CE, was a dominant force in the Mediterranean region. Known for its advanced engineering, governance, and military prowess, Rome transformed from a small city-state into a vast empire. It established laws, infrastructure like roads and aqueducts, and a unique culture that blended various influences. The Republic's fall and transition to Imperial rule marked significant political changes. Rome’s legacy includes contributions to architecture, language (Latin), and legal systems, profoundly shaping Western civilization and influencing subsequent societies even after its decline.
