Mediterranean Empires The World Has Essay

Around the year of 1200 B.C. all off the three important Mediterranean civilizations had stopped from their remarkable advance and collapsed with no actual information regarding to the reason for their ending. Archeological findings show that all three nations had been preparing for war during the period and that an enemy that is unknown to this day had defeated all Mediterranean empires.

The Roman Empire had appeared differently from the previous empires that surrounded the Mediterranean Sea. Rome had not began their society independently, but it had managed to defeat their superiors, the Etruscans, after more than two centuries in which the Etruscans ruled over Rome and other communities from within the Latin League....

Approximately 300 B.C. The Romans had been emerging as leaders over the whole of Central Italy. Soon after their successes in central Italy, the Romans began to expand their territory by taking Southern Italy form the Greece and later the Island of Sicily form their former Carthaginian allies.
The Roman Empire had had little in common with the earlier empires, as it paid lesser attention to the gods or to temples than the Greece and the Egyptians did. The Roman Empire had been cleverly organized in a military fashion and its upper-classes had been used to being literate.

Rome had been began its existence as being one of the largest and most powerful Empires on earth with the conquering of Greece and Cartagena during its early times.
