The Roman Empire is one of the highest political
accomplishments in the Western civilization. Rome has always
been known for magnificent constructions, legends, rich cultures
and mighty emperors who overthrew kingdoms. Rome
dominated the Western Mediterranean and in 27 BC Octavian,
established the powerful Roman Empire under him. The empire
thrived and attained a population of one million becoming the
first to have reached such extraordinary number, in the history.
Grandiose and splendour of the Romans started to fall in time
and by the 6
th century the population fell to as less as
30,000 which further fell to 20,000 when it was influenced by
Papal Schism and Avignon Papacy.
Rome was almost lost in the medieval times but 15
th and 16
th centuries saw it gain its lost finery once again. From the
Sistine Chapel to the renowned St. Peter's Basilica, Renaissance
architecture was in its full bloom. Roman emperor, Charles V
carried out a military coup – 'Sack of Rome', which disrupted
the growth of the city but the Papacy restated itself and the
city flourished once again.
Rummaged by many political games in the 17
th and 18th
century, Rome is a now the capital of Italy and the Lazio
Region.
