    The Roman Empire

    A Very Small Essay By Jose Javier Chacn Crdenas

    The Roman Empire was the post-Republican period of the ancient Roman civilization, characterised by an autocratic form of government and large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean in Europe, Africa, and Asia. 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 (98117 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. Christians rose to power in the 4th century, during which time a system of dual rule was developed in the Latin West and Greek East.

    Capital: Rome until AD 330, Constantinople from 330. Languages: Latin, Greek and various local languages. Religion: Pluralistic, subject to Imperial cult; Christianity after 380. Government Stratocratic autocracy (Emperors). Legislature: The Senate. Historical era: From Final War of the Roman Republic (3230 BC) to Fall of Constantinople (29 May 1453).
