The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire

Abstract: (6 pp.) What we are looking at here is a period of six centuries. Legend has it that twin boys were nursed by a she-wolf to found the glorious city of Rome in 753. These twin boys, Romulus and Remus were descendents of the Trojan prince Aeneas - not a shabby start by any means. However we might say of the City of the Seven Hills got to metropolitan and independent status about 500 BC; in the 11th century it was called the Roman Empire and by the 12th century the Holy Empire. The title Holy Roman Empire was adopted in the 13th century. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
