87The Roman Empire
The period which Rome controlled most of the Mediterranean world is known as the Roman Empire. The term empire refers to both the extent of Rome's territories and the type of rule. The length of time and vastness of the area spanned by Rome's empire make it almost impossible to generalise about its features. At its greatest extent it stretched from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to Mesopotamia in the east, along the Rhine and Danube frontiers to the north and the top of Africa to the south.

Later traditions attributed the foundation of the city to Romulus in 753 BC, but the true origins of the Roman state came in the 7th century BC, when the separate communities in the hills around Capitol Hill came together to form a single city as a centre for trade, religion and government.
