Roman History

Roman history includes the early history of the city of Rome as well as the civilization of ancient Rome, covering a period spanning from the traditional date for the founding Rome in the 8th century BC to the collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire in the 15th century AD. Roman history has been influential on the modern world, especially in the history of the Catholic Church, and Roman law has influenced many modern legal systems.
