Roman Empire
“
Divide and conquer.

Julius Caesar
The Roman Empire was a very large empire in Europe. He existed from 27 BC to 395 AD. The Roman Empire is usually considered the most important and best empire of all time. At his height, Roman Empire controlled vast territories spanning three continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa. Very impressive for an empire this old. The Empire's influence extended from the 
British Isles in the northwest to the deserts of the 
Middle East, and from the 
Rhine and rivers in the north to the shores of North Africa.
The Roman Empire is renowned for his remarkable achievements in various fields, including engineering, architecture, law, and governance. Roman engineers built an extensive network of roads, aqueducts, and monumental structures like the Colosseum and the Pantheon, many of which still stand today. The Roman legal system laid the foundation for many modern legal codes, and the concept of Roman citizenship became a unifying element for the diverse peoples within the Empire.
History
Augustus’ Reign
In 27 BC, the Roman Empire was founded. 
Octavian, later known as Augustus, is granted the title "Augustus" by the Roman Senate, marking the end of the 
Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire. Augustus became the first Roman emperor. Augustus implements a series of political, military, and social reforms to stabilize and strengthen the empire. These include reorganizing the army, establishing the 
Praetorian Guard, and reforming the tax system.
In 25 BC, the Roman Empire annexed the region of 
Galatia, which is located in modern-day central 
Turkey, following the death of Galatia‘s ruler, king 
Amyntas of Galatia. After King Amyntas' death, Galatia became a Roman province, and this annexation was part of Augustus's broader efforts to consolidate and expand the Roman Empire.
In 20 BC, diplomatic negotiations led to the return of the Roman standards (basically symbols like flags) that had been lost by Crassus at the Battle of Carrhae in 53 BC (the losing of standards in battle is considered very disgraceful, while recovering them is very honorable). This was indeed a significant diplomatic victory for Augustus and acted effectively as a propaganda tool.
In the year of 13 Before 
Christ, the Senate commissioned the Ara Pacis to celebrate Augustus‘s return from his campaigns in 
Hispania and 
Gaul and to honor the peace he had established. The Ara Pacis was completed and consecrated in 9 BC.
In 18 BC, Augustus enacted the Julian Laws on Morality, which included the Lex Julia de Maritandis Ordinibus and the Lex Julia de Adulteriis. These laws were part of Augustus's broader efforts to restore 
traditional Roman family values and strengthen the moral fabric of Roman society, promoting marriage and giving harsh penalties to anyone who committed adultery. In 17 BC, Augustus celebrated the Ludi Saeculares (Secular Games) to mark the beginning of a new saeculum (era). In 12 BC, the Theater of Marcellus, one of the largest and most impressive theaters in 
Rome, is completed and inaugurated by Augustus.
