The Roman culture was an amazing culture indeed. Rome is now that capital of Italy. It is located on the Tiber and Aniene rivers, near the Mediterranean Sea. But this site is about Ancient Rome. Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew out of the city-state of Rome, founded on the Italian peninsula around 800 BC. During its twelve-century existence, the Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to a vast empire. I hope this site provides a good amount of information on Ancient rome and the time of Julius Caesar.
