Ancient Rome (753 B.C.E. – 476 C.E.) evolved from a small Italian village into a massive Mediterranean empire, structured into three main eras: Kingdom, Republic, and Empire. Known for its engineering, military prowess, and legal systems, it transitioned from a monarchy to a republic, then to an empire under Augustus. The Western Empire fell in 476 C.E. due to instability, but left a lasting legacy on Western law, language, and culture.
