The Roman Empire reached its greatest extent in 117 AD under the emperor Trajan. It covered Western Europe up to the lower river Rhine and central Germany, southeastern Europe, North Africa and part of the Middle East. In Europe it stretched from the Atlantic to the Black Sea and in the middle East it bordered with Persia (present day Iran).
At its maximum extent the Roman Empire covered fully 31 modern day countries (10 in western Europe, 11 in eastern Europe, 8 in Asia and 2 in North Africa). It also covered parts of 10 more modern day countries (3 in western Europe, 3 in eastern Europe, 1 in Asia, and 3 in North Africa). Therefore, it touched a total of 41 countries.
Here is a list:
Western Europe.Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain, France, England and Wales, Belgium, Luxembourg Holland south of the river Rhine, southern and central Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and Austria
Eastern Europe.A part of western Slovakia, western Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and a slither of western Ukraine.
Asia: Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, Jordan, and the northern part of the coast of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. At its greatest extent the empire included the whole of Iraq, but later only its northern part. At times, Armenia fell under the Persians, but it was mostly under the Romans.
Africa. Egypt, coastal Libya, Tunisia, the coastal part of Algeria and northern Morocco.

What time period do you call the roman empire?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Roman Empire is said to have begun when the Senate granted the title Augustus to Octavian on January 4, 27 BC. The date of the fall of the Roman Empire is usually given as 476 AD, though the empire did not really fall on that date. The Roman Empire divided and was reunited several times, the last division being in 395. The event of 476 was the abdication of the last Emperor of the West, in favor of the Emperor of the East. But the West Roman Empire had already become a chaotic mess and never recovered. The emperors of the East Roman Empire tried to reconquer the West, but never got very far. The East Roman Empire finally fell in 1453. Our current historians refer to the East Roman Empire from about 500 AD to 1453 as the Byzantine Empire. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
