Ancient Rome is probably the most epic civilization in human history. What started in the eighth century BC as a small town on the bank of the Tiber River in what is now central Italy became one of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen. It lasted more than a millennium filled with countless wars and military campaigns, and in that time, it came to encompass all of continental Europe around the Mediterranean basin, all of Britain, and a huge part of western Asia and northern Africa. Few other civilizations can boast that longevity or totality of influence. I think the Roman Empire led to the beginning of the Renaissance. All this facts made Roma one of the most fascinating historical subjects to learn about.
