In the end, the civilization of ancient Rome is known for several things:

•the hugeness of the Empire;

• the success of the well-trained armies;

•the massive, impressive structures and construction, such as roads, aqueducts, baths, the Forum, and temples;

•the struggle with and then embracement of Christianity;

•the spreading of Roman writing, laws, trade practices and ideals and, especially, of Greek ideals to the rest of the known world;

•the terrible tragedies of slavery and conquest on which the civilization was ultimately based;

•the dramatic way in which the Empire collapsed, serving as an example for generations afterward
