Ignite Roman Empire 1:6 Scale Centurion Collectible Action Figure No. AR-201

Roman history begins in a small village in central Italy; this unassuming village would grow into a small metropolis, conquer and control all of Italy, southern Europe, the Middle East, and Egypt, and find itself, by the start of AD time, the most powerful and largest empire in the world. They managed what no other people had managed before: the ruled the entire world under a single administration for a considerable amount of time. This imperial rule, which extended from Great Britain to Egypt, from Spain to Mesopotamia, was a period of remarkable peace. The Romans would look to their empire as the instrument that brought law and justice to the rest of the world; in some sense, the relative peace and stability they brought to the world did support this view. They were, however, a military state, and they ruled over this vast territory by maintaining a strong military presence in subject countries. An immensely practical people, the Romans devoted much of their brilliance to military strategy and technology, administration, and law, all in support of the vast world government that they built. Rome, however, was responsible for more than just military and administrative genius. Culturally, the Romans had a slight inferiority complex in regards to the Greeks, who had begun their city-states only a few centuries before the rise of the Roman republic.

The Romans, however, derived much of their culture from the Greeks: art, architecture, philosophy, and even religion. However, the Romans changed much of this culture, adapting it to their own particular world view and practical needs. It is this changed Greek culture, which we call Graeco-Roman culture, that was handed down to the European civilizations in late antiquity and the Renaissance. The Roman Empire lasted five centuries passing through phases of development, crisis and recovery. The Empire made the Roman system stable for a long period. All the populations of the Mediterranean bacin became part of the Roman territory. Agriculture and trade developed: the latter took advantage of a good road network and the use of a common currency in all the Empire, a sort of "modern common market".


There was the need of a new kind of power to control such diverse populations. The power was centralized in one person, the Emperor. The ministries of the Republica Magistrates were assumed by the emperor or simply centralized in deprived of their powers. he power of the Emperor was based on the army: the Empire was practically a military dictatorship. For a certain period of time the Emperor ruled with the collaboration of the Senate, which in turn had the power to elect the Emperors. But soon this power to select the emperor returned to the army which imposed with force it choice. Furthermore the Emperor could count on his followers: on his personal party, his family, collaborators and the freemen. With the passing of time the provinces grew in importance and people from the province became members of the Senate and even Emperors. Later Caracalla gave the citizenship to all the freemen of the Empire.
