The Roman Empire
Marble for ancient Rome came from Italy, Greece and Turkey.
The first true empire was created by Julius Caesar --or so it is thought. But in reality Rome was already an empire long before Caesar came on the scene. The empire began when Rome expanded into Italy, then won the Punic Wars, Pompey and Sulla added territory in the East. Caesar only added Gaul to enlarge the empire.

The Latin language came from Latium, a region in central Italy where the Latini lived. The Latini founded Rome and gave their name to the Latin language, which was later spread throughout Europe by the Roman Empire.
The Lombards did not invade the Roman Empire and nobody came to the Romans' rescue. They invaded northern Italy when the western part of the Roman Empire had already fallen. They also took over lands in parts of central and southern Italy. .When, some 190 years later, they pushed further into central Italy and threatened the city of Rome, the Bishop of Rome (who later was also called the pope) asked Pepin the Short, the king of the Franks, for help. He defeated the Lombards and went back to France. The Lombards flexed their muscle again and the Bishop of Rome asked Pepin's son and successor, Charlemagne, to intervene.
Italy rome but her father came from Greece
They didn't start any empire. Romulus was the first (mythological) king of Rome. He ruled a small city-state named Rome. The empire came much later.
The Lombards did not invade the Roman Empire. When they invaded Italy the western part of the Roman Empire had already collapsed. The Eastern Romans (or Byzantines, as historians call them) had fought a long war against the Ostrogoths (Goths of the East) who had taken over Italy. This war exhausted their resources and they were unable to respond to the Lombard invasion. Later on, when the Lombards threatened the Duchy of Rome, its ruler, the Bishop of Rome (who later also came to be called the pope) asked Pepin, the king of the Franks, for help. The next Bishop of Rome asked Charlemagne, Pepin's son and successor, for help.
Some Romans were natives of Rome-Etruscan. Some came from Northern Europe-Celts. Some were Greek.
In the strictest sense of the word the Roman empire started when the city-state of Rome conquered Latinum, its surrounding territory. Although they made some progress at expansion in Italy, the major starting point of their expansion came at he end of the Punic wars with Carthage. From that point onward, it was all "go" for Rome.
