Ancient Rome 753 BC (Roma antica 753 A.C.)

            Ancient Rome was a civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC. Located along the Mediterranean Sea, it became one of the largest empires in the ancient world.In its centuries of existence, Roman civilization shifted from a monarchy to an oligarchic republic to an increasingly autocratic empire. It came to dominate South-Western Europe, South-Eastern Europe/Balkans and the Mediterranean region through conquest and assimilation.Plagued by internal instability and attacked by various migrating peoples, the western part of the empire, including Italy, Hispania, Gaul, Britannia and Africa broke up into independent kingdoms in the 5th century AD.The Eastern Roman Empire, which was governed from Constantinople, comprising Greece, the Balkans, Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt, survived this crisis. Despite the later loss of Syria and Egypt to the Arab-Islamic Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire continued for another millennium, until its remains were finally annexed by the emerging Turkish Ottoman Empire. This eastern, Christian, medieval stage of the Empire is usually called the Byzantine Empire by historians.Roman civilization is often grouped into "classical antiquity" with ancient Greece, a civilization that inspired much of the culture of ancient Rome. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of law, war, art, literature, architecture, technology, religion, and language in the Western world, and its history continues to have a major influence on the world today.

La storia romana, o storia di Roma antica, espone le vicende storiche che videro protagonista la città di Roma, dalle origini dell'Urbe (nel 753 a.C.) fino alla costruzione ed alla caduta dell'Impero romano (nel 476, anno in cui si colloca convenzionalmente l'inizio dell'epoca medievale).
Secondo il racconto tradizionale, la fondazione di Roma a metà dell'VIII secolo a.C. si deve ai leggendari Romolo e Remo, nonostante il prevalere del primo sul secondo. La data ufficiale, 21 aprile del 753 a.C., venne stabilita da Marco Terenzio Varrone calcolando a ritroso i periodi di regno dei re capitolini (35 anni circa per ogni re. Altre fonti in realtà riportano date diverse: Quinto Ennio nei suoi Annales colloca la fondazione nell'875 a.C., lo storico greco Timeo di Tauromenio (Taormina) nel'814 a.C. (contemporaneamente, quindi, alla fondazione di Cartagine), Fabio Pittore all'anno 748 a.C. e Lucio Cincio Alimento nel 729 a.C.
