Throughout its history, ancient Rome was one of the most powerful empires in the world. At its height, the Roman Empire controlled a territory that extended from Britain to North Africa and from Spain to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Ancient Rome began as a small village on the Tiber River in central Italy. It rose to power after it was able to conquer the nearby city of Veii. The Roman Republic was founded in 509 BC, and grew steadily as Rome started to conquer the surrounding areas. The Roman Empire reached its height under Emperor Constantine in the 4th century AD. By this time, Rome controlled a territory that extended from Britain to North Africa and from Spain to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Despite its massive size, the Roman Empire was eventually overtaken by barbarian invasions in the 5th century AD. The last Roman emperor, Romulus Augustus, was overthrown in 476 AD.<\/p>\n

According to the website ancient.eu, “At its height, the Roman Empire included the entire Mediterranean basin, as well as much of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.”<\/p>\n
