Abstract
The Roman civilization was one of the greatest civilizations in world
history . It spanned almost a thousand years and stretched from Europe to
Africa . Although the Roman civilization is already long extinct , its
legacy is still an important part of today 's social institutions such as
government and religion .
The Roman Civilization
The Roman civilization is one of the most powerful and influential
civilizations in history . It was well-known for its political , economic ,
cultural and technological advancements that allowed it to expand from
Europe to Africa (MSN Encarta , 2007 . So consequential is the Roman
civilization that most of its practices are still in use today .
Ancient Rome
The Roman civilization was believed to have started almost 3 ,000 years
ago on the hills beside the Tiber River in central Italy (MSN Encarta ,
2007 . What began as an encampment of shepherds ' huts later evolved into
the city of Rome (MSN Encarta , 2007 . It is sometimes claimed that the
land and environment of Italy proved to be condusive for the growth of
Roman civilization (MSN Encarta , 2007 .
Being a peninsula , Italy is separated from the rest of Europe by sea on
the east , west and south and the Alps mountain range on the north (MSN
Encarta , 2007 . The country in general enjoys a temperate climate , with
hot summers in the south (MSN Encarta , 2007 . Italy 's western coast and
offshore islands have several volcanoes such as Mount Etna and Mount
Vesuvius , resulting in fertile land in some parts of Latium , Campania
and Sicily (MSN Encarta , 2007 .
Italy 's timber-rich mountains had vast meadows where sheep and goats
grazed during the summer (MSN Encarta , 2007 . The Tiber River was
abundant in salt and Etruria had large iron deposits (MSN Encarta ,
2007 . North-south land routes boosted the Roman economy by improving
commerce , agriculture , pasturage and metalwork (MSN Encarta , 2007 .
Romulus and Remus - The Founders of Rome
According to Roman myth , twin brothers Romulus and Remus founded Rome
in 753 BC (MSN Encarta , 2007 . They were the grandsons of King Numitor ,
the ruler of the ancient city of Alba Longa in Latium (MSN Encarta ,
2007 . But Numitor 's brother seized the throne and also tried to kill
the twins by having them thrown into the Tiber (MSN Encarta , 2007 . The
twins miraculously survived - they were washed ashore and were nursed by
a she-wolf (MSN Encarta , 2007 .
Upon reaching adulthood , Romulus and Remus brought Numitor back to his
throne and formed a new city located on top of Palatine Hill (MSN
Encarta , 2007 . Romulus had this new city surrounded with a wall , which
Remus scornfully jumped over in an attempt to assert his leadership (MSN
Encarta , 2007 . Romulus killed him as a result , later becoming the
city 's first king and naming it after him (MSN Encarta , 2007 .
Life in Ancient Rome
Ancient Roman society was religious and family-oriented (MSN Encarta ,
2007 . Family and religion not only influenced personal and social
relations...
