Introduction <\/h2>\n

Ancient Rome is truly one of the most remarkable civilizations in history. It is a civilization that changed the world in both ancient and modern times. From its rise to its fall, the Roman Empire achieved much and left an indelible impact. One of the most common questions about the empire is simply when did it start and end.<\/p>\n

Early Beginnings <\/h2>\n

Ancient Rome is believed to have been founded around 753 BC and was founded by Romulus. Rome quickly began to expand from its modest beginnings, quickly emerging as a powerful settlement in central Italy. By the 6th century BC, Rome was a major political power, with Latin as its official language, after conquering tribes from lands close to the city.<\/p>\n

Establishment as an Empire <\/h2>\n

Rome began to expand its influence beyond central Italy and by the 1st century BC, it had become an empire stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Euphrates River. This sphere of influence reached the Americas and Asia to the south, while the kingdom expanded its population past 1 million.<\/p>\n

Pax Romana <\/h2>\n

With Rome in its prime, it was able to secure peace and stability for a period of two centuries (27 BC-180 AD) in its territories. This was known as the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace. During this period, the security provided by Rome allowed for the construction of roads, bridges, and other forms of infrastructure throughout its territories.<\/p>\n
