Roman Empire
From History Wiki
The Roman Empire was one of the most famous periods in the history of Ancient Rome. It was a time when Rome was ruled by an emperor who had supreme power, who, at least at the beginning, officially ruled by "will of the Senate". During its height, the Pax Romana--or Roman Peace--ruled roughly a quarter of the ancient world's population, and its territory stretched over an amount of land comparable to that of the modern day United States. The Empire followed on from the Roman Republic and lasted until 286 AD, when it was divided into the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire.
