The most magnificent empire of its time, Rome, rose as a small monarchy only later to become a Republic that transformed itself into the greatest empire of all time, which lasted for over six years. hundredths and create the model of modern society. Rome, with the first professional army, quickly expanded its empire at its peak; the vast empire owned the Mediterranean Sea and stretched from London to Baghdad. Upon its fall, the empire collapsed with immense speed under the hand of the barbarian. In just one hundred years, the vast empire of Rome vanishes into thin air like dust, leaving behind a small but significant culture for future generations to use as the basis for their foundations of artistic literature and customs. Rome will disappear forever but will not be forgotten. (His ideas would prevail throughout time and history) At the time of expansion, Rome had well-trained armies like never before in history, with an organization that still amazes us today "the Romans had their form or their particular ways of fighting, if one thinks. at the beginning of the movie Gladiator, it's a perfect representation of how Rome loves to fight. Take hours to get everything set up in battle, command then launch the attack” (Wells, Peter) As Rome continued to expand, it gained as much land as it gained enemies. Rome was nervous about the northern peoples invading what is now Italy, so they began fighting with this group of people known as barbarians, a word meaning foreign and crude. “Anyone who did not follow classical customs and did not speak classical languages ​​like Latin or Greek was considered very different. Other barbarians, and Rome simply considered them much less capable, much less civilized than they were” (Wells, Peter). Rome's army was made up of proud men ready to protect... middle of paper... the mistake of all time, Julius Caesar. Caesar was born around 100 BC into an aristocratic family. At that time, chaos was rampant in the streets and poor Julius lost his father at the age of sixteen. While he was sailing to study, pirates kidnapped Caesar for ransom. After a while, Julius was able to be free again and punish his captors with death. Upon his return to Rome, he became a soldier where he showed his leadership and charisma which marked the beginning of a new chapter for Caesar. As Caesar's fame grew, he left the army and joined politics. Caesar is a born politician. He “was brilliant in his ability to interact with people to make them like him, but he was also one of the greatest writers and one of the greatest public speakers. Julius Caesar could make you do what he thought you should by giving you a speech” (Martin, Thomas. R)
