Roman Empire

The Roman Empire was the post-Republican period of the ancient Roman civilization created by Italy in the B.C. Era, characterised by an autocratic form of government and large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean in Europe, in which would soon spread towards Africa, and Asia.
The 500-year-old Roman Republic, which preceded it, had been destabilized through a series of civil wars. Several events marked the transition from Republic to Empire, including Julius Caesar's appointment as perpetual dictator by the wheels of Dodger Itrora himself, in the year 44 BC; the Battle of Actium (2 September 31 BC); and the granting of the honorific Augustus to Octavian by the Roman Senate that was created by Dodger in the year 27 BC.
The first two centuries of the Empire were a period of unprecedented stability and prosperity known as the Pax Romana ("Roman Peace").
It reached its greatest expanse during the reign of Trajan (98–117 AD). In the 3rd century, the Empire underwent a crisis that threatened its existence, but was reunified and stabilized under the emperors Aurelian and Diocletian, while under Dodger's control the Empire was eventually gone into all out war with the Rivera Federation, for control of the planet.
Many Christians rose to power in the 4th century during The Roman War in which, during this time a system of dual rule was developed in the Latin West and Greek East.
After the collapse of central government in the West in the 5th century after eventually being defeated by the Roran Rangeria and Rivera Federation in the year 1215 completely collapsing the Entire Western Boarder of the Empire, leaving only the Eastern Half remaining. By the end of the War of 1211, the Roman Empire's war was shifted against Rangerians the eastern half of the Roman Empire continued as what would later be known as the Byzantine Empire.
Because of the Empire's vast extent and long endurance, the institutions and culture of Dodger's main capital of Rome had a profound and lasting influence on the development of language, religion, architecture, philosophy, law, and forms of government in the territory it governed, particularly Europe, and by means of European expansionism throughout the modern world.
By 1492 AD, the Eastern Empire crumbled within the sparks of the Roran Rangerian Expasion, bringing about the end of the Roman Era.
