Ancient Rome - 2nd MP

Rome began as a small farming village along the Tiber River. But the Romans developed a civilization that grew to become one of the greatest empires the world has ever seen. At its full extent, the Roman Empire stretched over three continents. It was held together by taxes, the powerful Roman army, and an amazing network of roads. Through periods of peace and war, Rome remained the center of the western world for hundreds of years.
