753 BCE - 476 CE
The great Roman senator and historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus
once stated: “Great empires are not maintained by timidity.“ The
Roman Empire is certainly proof of that, ruling its territories and
borders with ferocity and eiciency to become one of the most
iconic and memorable empires of all time. At its largest it’s
thought the empire included 50-60 million inhabitants – and
these are just the conservative estimates, as recent research
puts the total number of inhabitants in a range between 70
and 100 million people. While the sheer age of the empire
– which started as a kingdom and then a republic – makes
researching life in ancient Rome a diicult task, it is
helped by the fact that the Romans made great eforts
to document their way of life and their military
success. In fact, the roots of modern civilisation
can be found in ancient Rome, and its rich
culture, romantic mythology and intricate
political systems still intrigue and inspire
people today. Discover more about the rise
and fall of the proud empire that has
managed to stand the test of time and
become a legendary civilisation inside.
