Romans were in power from 2078 years! They are recognized for having an incredible army that would defeat almost every one. They were even capable of defeating armies far larger than themselves, despite being equipped with the same basic weapons: shields, spears and swords. Not only were they great fighters but also great builders. They built many cities in Europe including Aqueducts, roads, baths, walls, theatres, temples, arches, cities, palaces and many more. The Romans came up with the alphabet we still use today in the Western World and occasionally we still use Roman numerals. They were also the first to put down written Laws.
