Brainstorm with a partner How did Rome become so great? (think back to our discussion on empires and what characteristics helped empires to rise and maintain power?) The Rise of the Romans Roman civilization developed over a long time. It began as a monarchy, then became a republic, and then ultimately transformed into an empire ruled by an emperor. This empire grew as a result of its military prowess and was maintained by the common language of Latin, strong leaders, and a vast system of roads. At its height, the Roman Empire expanded into Europe, Asia, and Africa, spreading not only its political control but its culture. Project review: What is wrong with this PowerPoint slide?
