After conquering the rest of Italy, Rome defeated Carthage, its main rival in the Mediterranean. Carthage, a former Phoenician colony in North Africa, was completely destroyed. By 146 A.D., Rome dominated the entire Mediterranean world. The expansion of Rome changed its basic character. The Roman army became a professional force instead of a citizens’ army. Julius Caesar, a general, conquered part of Gaul (present-day France) and Spain. He then marched his armies back to Rome itself. Caesar threatened to seize absolute power, but was assassinated in 44 B.C. Caesar introduced a new calendar which forms the basis for the calendar still in use today. Our month of July is named after him. In 27 B.C., Rome became an empire that lasted until 476 A.D. As the Roman army conquered more land, military generals became powerful. Eventually, Rome’s republican form of government was replaced with emperors. The first Roman Emperor was Augustus Caesar. Augustus Caesar was the adopted nephew of Julius Caesar. Augustus began a long period of peace, known as the Pax Romana or Roman Peace, which extended throughout Western Europe and the Mediterranean world. Rome’s centralized political authority, trained officials, and traditions of law allowed it to govern its vast empire. The Romans built new public baths, aqueducts, stadiums, and other public buildings as center of Roman culture. Romans generally respected local customs, promoted trade, and offered Roman citizenship throughout the empire.
