Roman Forum

A tiny, insignificant village grows to control most of the known world. Never before, and maybe never again, will one empire rule as much territory as the mighty Roman empire did at its height. Rome's legacy still plays a role in the world today. It was that important. We still use their words and calendar, follow their laws, and practice the religion that grew out of its empire.
