ANCIENT ROME 

Romulus, Rome's first monarch, is said to have built the city around 753 B.C.E. Rome became a republic in 509 B.C.E., governed by the Senate (rich landowners and elders) and the Roman people. Rome conquered the rest of Italy throughout the republic's 450 years, then expanded into France, Spain, Turkey, North Africa, and Greece. Rome became heavily affected by Greek culture, as seen by Greek architecture, literature, statues, wall paintings, mosaics, pottery, and glass. Greek gold, on the other hand, came with Greek civilization, and generals and senators fought over it. The Roman empire began when the Republic disintegrated due to civil strife.
