In the year 753 BC, about 31 years before Samaria fell to the Assyrians, legend has it that Romulus and Remusfounded the city of Rome. Over the next several centuries this city grew and developed, and in time began to extend its power and authority, and to acquire territory around it. Soon much of the known world would come to be controlled by Rome. For centuries the mighty Roman Empire dominated the civilized world. Its contribution to civilization, and its influence on the thoughts and lives of men, has been surpassed by few other empires. It was the government in control during the time of Jesus Christ and the early church.
