It principally encompasses the [[Roman Republic]] and the [[Roman Empire]].

The Roman civilization was an early human civilization in Europe which originated in Rome and came to dominate the continent as a major power.[1] The Roman Empire eventually split in two under the weight of Germanic invasions, but while the western half collapsed in the 5th century, the eastern portion continued to endure for a millennium. This Eastern Roman Empire, known historiographically as the Byzantine Empire, only fell in 1453 to the Ottoman Empire.[2]

Even after its fall, the Romans' has had a lasting, profound legacy on European culture. Although the polytheistic Romans initially persecuted the Christians who migrated from the Levant, the conversion of the emperor Constantine I set off the eventual Christianization of all of Europe.[2] In the 15th century, Italian scholars seeking to recover the knowledge and culture of the ancient Greeks and Romans ignited an intellectual and artistic movement known as the Renaissance.[3]
