Romans

The Romans were an ancient civilization that originated in the city of Rome, Italy, around 753 BC. They established a vast empire that spanned Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia, known for its advanced engineering, law, and governance. Notable achievements include the construction of roads, aqueducts, and monumental architecture like the Colosseum. The Roman Republic later evolved into the Roman Empire, leading to significant cultural influence, including language (Latin), art, and political ideas. The empire ultimately declined, officially falling in 476 AD, but its legacy continues to shape modern society.
