Ancient Romans

The Ancient Romans were the people of Rome and its vast empire, which lasted from around 753 BC until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in AD 476. They were known for their contributions to law, government, architecture, and engineering, including the development of roads, aqueducts, and monumental buildings like the Colosseum. The Romans practiced a polytheistic religion and later adopted Christianity. Their society was divided into classes, with significant roles for citizens, soldiers, and slaves. The legacy of Ancient Rome continues to influence modern legal systems, languages, and culture.
