History books tell us that the city of Rome was set up in 152 B.C. It’s
a fact, however, that by 100 A.D., Rome was the centre of a big empire.
It was from Syria in the east to Spain in the west, from Britain in the
north to Africa in the south. All or part of 27 of today’s countries
were included in the Roman Empire. All of their people were ruled by one government, that of Rome. All educated people spoke the same language,
Latin. And one of the empire’s outposts was called Londinium. This
unimportant town would later become London, England, and the centre of
another empire. The Roman Empire came to and end about 1,500 years ago. Yet in some
ways it is still with us. Take the letters you are reading, for example,
English, like many other languages, uses the Roman alphabet (字母) while
also borrowing many words. The laws of many European countries are based
on ancient Roman laws. Roman ruins are seen throughout Europe, North
Africa, and the Middle East. In some places, Roman roads and water courses are still in use. To this day, a European in North Africa is likely to
be called “Roumi”-Roman. Even modern place names are often after
Ancient Rome. Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them.
