𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞 The Roman Empire (27 BCE – 476 CE) was a period of unparalleled expansion, governance, and cultural development, marking the height of Rome’s power. It began with Augustus, the first emperor, who established a stable government after the turmoil of the late Republic. The empire saw centuries of prosperity, particularly during the Pax Romana (27 BCE – 180 CE), a period of peace and economic growth. Rome's military dominance allowed it to control vast territories across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Its legions secured borders and facilitated trade, connecting distant provinces through an extensive network of roads and cities.
