From the Paper:

"The Roman Empire was one of the greatest empires of the ancient world. According to Chris Brazier in "The No-Nonsense Guide to World History," "From about 275 BC to 50 AD Rome created a massive empire that included the Mediterranean region, most of Europe and parts of the Middle East" (Brazier 35). As this empire expanded it encountered countless cultures that were eventually assimilated into the Empire. Although these cultures were conquered they did not cease to exist. The cultures continued to survive within the Roman Empire, they were just somewhat repressed."
