A Roman Empire is a series of empires who each claimed the right for the imperial throne and who considered themselves the heirs of the Roman Empire founded by Augustus. After the colapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, the East Roman Empire commonly known as Byzantine Empire considered themselves the true heirs of the once powerful empire. They had all rights to do so and despite their helenistic metamorphosis, they considered themselves Romans until the very end in 1453 AD. Another Empire had risen in The Dark Ages thus claiming they were the rightfull heirs of the West Empire as well as of the Empire as a whole. That was the Frankish Kingdom. On Christmas Day 800 AD pope Leo III crowned Chalemagne as a Roman Emperor. The Empire had split apart and had a series of turmoils until the pope of 968 John XII didn't crowned Otto I as emperor. From that moment on The Holy Roman Empire enters the pages of history surviving until 1804 when it was abolished by Napoleon. After the colapse of Byzantium, the empire who destroyed them considered themselves sole heirs of Augustus' empire. They were The Ottoman Empire which lasted from 1300 to World War I when the republic was founded by Ataturk. However even the pope claimed his right as an heir of the Empire calling upon the Donation of Constantine, a probably false document in which Constantine the Great leaves his wordly rights to pope Sylvester I. Ivan Groznyi, the first Russian Emperor, had also considered himself a Roman Emperor. Even Moscow was refered as the third Rome.

- Julius Caesar began the move from a republic to an empire when he was named dictator. He established the rule of one man and was assassinated by members of the Senate who wanted to keep Rome a republic.
- Augustus was the first full emperor of the new empire. He fixed the pay scale for the army, created the Praetorian Guard to protect the emperor, and expanded the empire to easily defended natural borders. He ruled peacefully and established trade links with India and China.

∙ 11y agoIf one is asking what was the empire built by ancient Rome, then the simplest answer that during the course of about 700 years, Rome conquered much of the Mediterranean world and even advanced into what is now France & invaded Great Britain. Based on standards in that part of the world at that time, this empire was rather advanced & was able to hold a large number of different nations under its rule. To improve this answer and/or learn more about the Roman Empire, one needs to consult the many books written about it. By many books I mean literally hundreds of books.
