Roman Antiquity

Roman Antiquity refers to the period of ancient Rome’s history from its legendary founding in 753 BCE through the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE. It includes the Republic era, marked by a mixed government and expansion, and the Empire era, characterized by imperial rule and vast territorial growth across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. This period saw remarkable achievements in law, engineering, architecture, and governance, laying foundations for Western civilization. It was also a time of cultural richness, blending Greek influences with evolving Roman traditions, leaving a lasting legacy in politics, law, language, and infrastructure.
