In 616,Rome's neighbors, the Etruscans, seized power. They were forced out by the Roman Republic. The Roman Republic conquered the rest of italy. Then they focused on oversees. By the 1st century b.c Rome ruled Spain,North Africa,and Greece.Julius Caesar ruled as dictator, and his nephew Octavian became Rome's first emperor, with the name Augustus.During the reign of Augustus, Christ was born, and though Christians were persecuted until the 4th century, the new religion took hold and Rome became the main centre of Christianity.Even though it was the seat of the papacy, during the Middle Ages Rome went into decline. The city recovered spectacularly in the mid-15th century, and for over 200 years was embellished by the greatest artists of the Renaissance and the Baroque.By the mid-2nd century BC, Rome controlled the west Mediterranean, policing and defending it with massive armies. The troops had more loyalty to the generals than to distant politicians, giving men like Marius, Sulla, Pompey and Ceasar the muscle to seize political power. Meanwhile, peasants, whose land had been destroyed during the invasion of Hannibal in 219 BC, had flooded into Rome. They were followed by slaves and freedmen from conqueres lands such as Greece, sweling the population to half a million. There was plenty of work for imigrants, constructing roads, aqueducts, markets and temples, financing by taxes on Rome's expanding trade.

Rome owed much of her prosperity to her skilled civil engineers. When the city's wells were no longer sufficient, aqueducts were build to bring water from surrounding hills. Some were over 50 miles♥ long.|}}Tator34 (talk) 16:56, 29 April 2014 (UTC) Rome was founded in 753 b.c. by twins. Their names were Romulus and remus. Rome began at an iron age hut village.
