Beginning in the 8th century BC, Ancient Rome grew from a small town on the Tiber River to a vast empire spanning most of Europe and the Mediterranean world. At its height, the Roman Empire encompassed most of continental Europe, Britain, western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. Some legacies of Roman dominance include the use of Romance languages derived from Latin, the modern Western alphabet and calendar, and the emergence of Christianity as a major religion. After 450 years as a republic, Rome became an empire under Julius Caesar in the 1st century BC. The long reign of Augustus began a golden age, though Rome's decline and fall by the 5th century AD was one of history's most dramatic events.
The document provides an overview of Rome during the Golden Age known as the Pax Romana. Key points include:
1) The period from Augustus to Marcus Aurelius (1st-2nd century CE) saw peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire under strong emperors.
2) Architecture such as the Pantheon and Colosseum were used for propaganda and entertainment. Public baths and aqueducts improved infrastructure.
3) Religions like the cult of the emperor, mystery cults, and early Christianity grew alongside traditional Roman and foreign gods. Judaism had a large minority but faced persecution after rebellions.
Ancient Rome was founded around 753 BC by the brothers Romulus and Remus and grew to become one of the most powerful empires in history. It started as a small town but became a large marketplace and melting pot of cultures as Greek and Etruscan people migrated there. Rome was originally ruled by kings but became a republic with elected magistrates around 500 BC. It expanded through military conquests across Europe, Africa and Asia. Julius Caesar took total power as a dictator in the 1st century BC, ending the republic. His heir Augustus became Rome's first emperor, beginning the imperial period that lasted until the Western empire fell to invasions in 476 AD.
The document provides an overview of the geography and history of ancient Rome. It discusses how Rome's central location in Italy contributed to its success in unifying the Italian peninsula and surrounding Mediterranean lands. Key events summarized include the transition from kingdom to republic around 509 BCE, the expansion of Roman territory through military conquests, the establishment of an empire under Augustus, and the eventual split of the empire into western and eastern halves in the 4th century CE. The document also examines factors that influenced the rise and fall of the Roman Empire such as geography, expansion, civil wars, and invasions by barbarian groups.

In 63 BCE in Rome, the orator Cicero uncovered a terrorist plot by Lucius Catiline to assassinate officials and burn the city. Cicero stopped the plot and saved the state. Rome was a vast metropolis ruling an empire, but it faced internal threats. This chapter introduces the rich contemporary evidence about first century BCE Rome that allows us to understand it intimately, and explores how Roman writers began systematically studying Rome's early history, influencing our understanding today. The events of 63 BCE were a pivotal moment that threatened Rome but highlighted Cicero's oratory skills.

Rome was located along the Mediterranean Sea in what is now Italy. It expanded greatly through military victories over neighboring powers like Carthage. Key Roman achievements included developing extensive networks of concrete roads and aqueducts, establishing Latin as a dominant language, inventing a stable currency system using coins, and building a republican system of laws and government that later transitioned into an empire. Roman culture had a major influence on modern Western society.
The most important ideas about Rome are its achievements that still influence modern society. The Latin language formed the basis for many current languages. Rome's early law codes influenced later legal systems. Technologies like aqueducts and roads shaped infrastructure, while military organization foreshadowed modern armies. Overall, Rome left a profound legacy through its language, laws, technologies, and military strategies that can still be seen today.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

About
Rome
2. The Founding of Rome
Legend tells of two brothers, Romulus and Remus, who were
abandoned by their parents and raised by a she-wolf. They went
on to found the city of Rome in 753 BC.
The city was built on the banks of the Tiber River and quickly
grew in size and power, becoming the center of the Roman
Empire. The city was ruled by a series of kings until it was
overthrown in 509 BC.
3. The Roman Empire was one of the largest and
most powerful empires in history, stretching from
Britain to the Middle East. It was known for its
advanced engineering and architecture, and its
political and legal systems.
The Roman Empire was also known for its religious
beliefs and practices, which included polytheism
and the worship of multiple gods. The most
important of these gods were Jupiter, Juno, and
Minerva.
The Roman Empire
4. The Roman Republic
The Roman Republic was a period of time in which
Rome was ruled by a government of elected officials,
rather than by kings. It was a period of political,
economic, and social reform, and it lasted from 509 BC
to 27 BC.
The Roman Republic was known for its military
conquests, its legal system, and its engineering feats. It
was also known for its contributions to art, literature,
and philosophy, which laid the foundations for Western
civilization.
5. Roman architecture was renowned for its grandeur and
its use of concrete, arches, and domes. The Colosseum,
the Pantheon, and the Baths of Caracalla are just a few
of the many spectacular examples of Roman
architecture.
Roman architecture was also known for its use of the
arch, which allowed them to build larger and more
complex structures. The arch was used in buildings,
bridges, aqueducts, and even tombs, and it is still used in
modern architecture today.
Roman Architecture
6. Roman art and culture was heavily influenced by the
Greeks, and it was known for its realism and its use of
marble and bronze. Roman sculptures, mosaics, and
frescoes are some of the most famous examples of
Roman art.
Roman culture was also known for its literature, which
included works by Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. Roman
literature was known for its storytelling and its use of
mythology, and it has had a lasting influence on
modern literature.
Roman Art and Culture
7. The Roman Empire began to decline in the 5th century
AD, as a result of political instability, economic decline,
and an influx of barbarian invasions. By 476 AD, the
Roman Empire had fallen and was replaced by a series
of barbarian kingdoms.
The fall of Rome marked the end of the classical period
of Western civilization, and the beginning of the Middle
Ages. The legacy of the Roman Empire, however, can
still be seen in the architecture, art, and culture of many
modern European countries.
