From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea, it became one of the largest empires in the ancient world. In its centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. It came to dominate South-Western Europe, South-Eastern Europe/Balkans and the Mediterranean region through conquest and assimilation. Plagued by internal instability and attacked by various migrating peoples, the western part of the empire, including Italy, Hispania, Gaul, Britannia and Africa broke up into independent kingdoms in the 5th century AD. The Eastern Roman Empire, which was governed from Constantinople, comprising Greece, the Balkans, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt, survived this crisis. Despite the later loss of Syria and Egypt to the Arab Islamic Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire would live on for another millennium, until its last remains were finally annexed by the emerging Turkish Ottoman Empire. This eastern, Christian, medieval stage of the Empire is usually referred to as the Byzantine Empire by historians. Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity" with ancient Greece, a civilization that inspired much of the culture of ancient Rome. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of law, war, art, literature, architecture, technology, religion, and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a major influence on the world today.

Asked by chain gang soldier for life - Sat Apr 22 23:31:36 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Rome didn't have a particularly long life span. The Roman Empire, as we know it, lasted only about 400 years, if that long. The Egyptian Empire lasted several thousand years. I didn't check the dates, but that's close. That being said, most governments last less than 200 years, which is why we consider the Romans to be long-lived. The real answer to your question is assimilation. When Romans conquered a people, they made them Roman citizens and incorporated them into the army. They also gave the local people all of the benefits of Roman citizenry, such as aqueducts, amphitheaters, roads, baths, trade, protection, and republican government (form of self-rule). This made for loyal subjects rather than an insurgent populous. Much… [cont.] Answered by luapsimisag - Sun Apr 23 00:06:11 2006 What do you know about the climate of Ancient Rome?
