In Western Europe the Roman Empire extended from the south up to the rivers Rhine and Danube, which formed the bulk of the northern frontier of the Empire (both in western and south-eastern Europe) and an area of Germany between these two rivers (roughly from Regensburg to Mainz) . In terms of modern day countries, it covered Portugal, Spain, Andorra, Monaco, France, Belgium Luxembourg, Holland south of the River Rhine, Germany west of the River Rhine and southern Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, San Marino, Vatican city, Malta, and England and Wales. The Romans pushed into Scotland three times, but in all of these occasions withdrew and settled the border of their empire at Hadrian's Wall (in northern England) and , for a very brief period of time, the Antonine Wall (in the Scottish Lowlands). In the later days, the western part of the Roman Empire also included the area in the Balkan Peninsula west of the Danube which is now considered part of Eastern Europe: Hungary west of the Danube, Slovenia, Croatia, northern and central Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Did the roman empire rule all of Europe?

Yes. Type "Roman Empire" on Google and you'll see. In fact Europe was part of the Roman Empire since about half of it was in "Europe" as now defined, but the non-European parts - Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, N Africa - had more than half the population, and the Eastern Empire (largely outside Europe) became the more important part over time.
