Introduction The old saying “Rome was not built in one day” originated in the history of ancient Rome, it means a process is always necessary to do anything, patience is needed. The city of Rome cannot be built in a single day, and for Rome of Italy to develop into a world-wide Empire spanning the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa is a very long historical process.

The Rise of the Roman Empire The Romans started to embark on territorial expansion during the Republican period. By 150 BC, the Romans became the dominant people of the Mediterranean Sea, they established control over a great many places along the Mediterranean coast, and proclaimed the Mediterranean to be “our territorial sea” In 27 BC, Octavian took the name Augustus and became the first ruler of the Roman Empire with almost absolute power, his reign lasted more than 40 years, and the foundations of the Roman Empire was laid during this period. The period from 27 BC to around 200 AD was a golden age for the Roman Empire. During this period, the territory of the Roman Empire spanned Mesopotamia in the east, and the British Isles in the West. In the entire history of the Western world, Europe has never been so closely united within such a vast geographical region like that during the Roman Empire’s time. In 180 AD, Roman citizens would only need to carry a passport and a single currency and they can safely travel in the roadway networks linking Egypt and France. This also reflected the immense organisation and the unity of the Roman Empire. 4 S1 Worksheet History and Culture S1 Worksheet (Teacher’s Copy) Topic 4 - Development of Eastern and Western Civilizations and the Empire’s Emergence The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire Name: Year Class: Activity 1:Web study ( ) Day Month The students may be divided into groups to browse the websites below, and then complete the tasks that follow.
