How did the Romans control their huge Empire?
From its beginnings as a small village in central Italy,
the city of Rome came to rule over one of the largest
and most prosperous empires in history. Its armies were
seemingly unstoppable, conquering most of Europe,
North Africa and the Middle East, almost the entire world
known to the mankind at that time. Rome was founded
in 753 BCE, and at first was ruled by kings. In 509 BCE,
the kings were replaced by a republic and control of the
city fell to consuls chosen by the Senate (ruling council).
The Senate and later the emperor also appointed
generals to lead Rome’s armies in wars of conquest.
They divided the captured regions into provinces
controlled by Roman governors and guarded by Roman
soldiers. They built new cities and roads and imposed
Roman laws on their conquered subjects. Although they
could be cruel, especially to people who rebelled
against them, the Romans spread wealth, stability, and
valuable new ideas all across their empire.The Romans
are still remembered for their politics and philosophy,
which inspired the European thinking for many
centuries. Many of their buldings, supported by
advanced engineering skills, still stand today.
