Rome
Rome is a city in central Italy that grew from a small settlement on the Tiber into the capital of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire, and later the seat of the papacy. As the centre of Roman power it fought Carthage, conquered the Seleucid, Ptolemaic and Macedonian kingdoms and waged long wars with the Parthian and Sasanian empires. Its imperial legacy was claimed by the Byzantine, Carolingian and Holy Roman empires, and it traded indirectly with distant powers such as Han China and Aksum.
