    The Roman Empire was one of the most powerful and influential civilisations of the ancient world, lasting for many centuries. It is known for its impressive cities, roads, engineering, art, and military strength, as well as its system of law and government. At its height, the empire brought together many different cultures, and its ideas and achievements continued to shape Europe and the wider world long after its fall.
