Rome was the capital city of the Roman Empire.
Rome was an extremely advanced civilization for its time, and even compared to modern societies of the world. The Roman Empire introduced and emphasized aqueducts and public bathing for good hygiene. The Roman Empire was as big as it was merciless. One of the main reasons that the Roman Empire was able to flourish for so long was because of its clever and virtually unstoppable militia. Great leaders and a strong central government, as well as ingenuity allowed the Roman Empire to last and flourish for so many centuries.
