Rome is remembered for its supreme power, advanced engineering, military successes, religious customs, entertainment and its brutality. Whatever your view of Rome, you can’t deny that its international rule had wide-scale effects on our development. Beginning in the 8th century BC, ancient Rome grew from a small town on central Italy’s Tiber River into an empire that at its peaked encompassed most of continental Europe, Britain, much of Western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. It lasted for over 2,000 years, it's legacy is felt to this day. The United States of America is the modern Rome, it similarity is uncanny.
