Rome

Ancient Rome

About 387BC, a city on the Italian peninsula began acquiring land and building an empire. That city was Rome. For more than one thousand years, Rome controlled the western world.  Rome conquered many of its allies by force, but once the new people became citizens, they often joined the Roman army. Rome managed to unify most of the modern nation of Italy by 265BC.   Civilizations have grown and prospered in Rome for thousands of years, which is why Rome is nicknamed “the Eternal City.”   Using the cultural universal wheel, explore the culture of the Roman Empire.
