Rome (modern)

Once you have gained enough popularity with the 'masses' (This can be done by expanding your empire, keeping low taxes, basically anything that increases your population and makes the people happy), you will get a message saying "A Chance for Power" It means you can then invade Rome with the support of the people.

An alternative to this is sometime later in the game if Rome is still unified, the Senate will send a mission for your faction leader to "Commit Suicide". If you decline this and let your faction leader live, a civil war will spark automatically and then you will be free to invade Rome as well.

The Break With Rome was caused as Henry VIII wanted a Son to take to the heir after him. His wife at the time couldn't give birth and he asked the Pope for a divorce, he refused and Henry was not happy so he sacked the Pope and the newly appointed Arch Bishop of Canterbury gave Henry a divorce.

* The original religion was Catholic and Henry changed it to Protestant.

* Another reason for the Break with Rome was that the monasteries were rich and Henry wanted there money as he had spent a lot on wars.

New writer..

All of the above is wrong Henry actually made himself the new pope of englandso that he could get himself a divorce and have morepower over the country.

Yes, the Romans had their special stories. Many of them were myths, such as the Aenid and the Romulus/Remus tale, and the stories about the lacus curtius. Many of them were also based on actual events, such as the geese warning the city about an invasion.

If by Rome you mean the city of Rome, it became a huge city because it was the centre of a very large empire. There was massive migration. At first the immigrants were poor people from Italy. Later, Rome was flooded with slaves. At one point most of the inhabitants of the city of Rome were freedmen or their descendants.

Regarding the Roman Empire, it became so big becasue the Romans got involved in wars which they won and acquired the lands where the wars were fought. Sometimes there were also wars which were aimed at further expansion. However, at one point it was decided to stop this expansion. The Roman army was a professional army and was better trained and equipped than other armies. The size of the military manpower of the Romans was unparalleled. The conquered peoples supplied auxiliary troops which supported the Roman legions. The Romans were also rich enough to hire mercenaries when needed.

The region of Rome is Lazio. The word Latin means from Lazio.

The Romans influenced European religion and culture through the Middle Ages and Early Modernity.Their main legacies are religion, the alphabet, language, law and art.

Christianity developed from a religion among a small group of Jews (who lived in Judea, which was part of the Roman Empire) into a mass religion in the Roman days. It spread around the Roman Empire. It became state religion. Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity developed during the Late Roman Empire. They were originally called Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity respectively. The former was the main form of Christianity in the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the main form of Christianity in the eastern part of the Roman Empire.

Western European languages have adopted and adapted the Latin alphabet. The only letters in the English language which do not come from the Latin alphabet are J, U and W.

Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian are languages derived from Latin (romance languages). Many Latin words have entered English via two routes. One was that Latin was the language of the church in the Middle Ages. The other was the Norman conquest of England. French became the court language and many French words entered into the English language. These words are usually of Latin origin.

Many international words in medicine, law and theology are Latin.

The key principles of Roman civil law have provided the foundation or an inspiration for the law of many modern countries. These are: citizenship status and citizenship rights, equality under the law, the right to have a proper trial and to defend oneself, the right to appeal, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser and not on the accused, that it is the exact form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, and that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed.

The Romans influenced European architecture, sculpture and painting until the early 20th century. They influenced the art of the Renaissance (14th-15th century) Baroque (17th-18th century) and Neoclassicism (18th-20th century, and is still sometimes used today). Palladian architecture was also based on Roman architecture. It was popular from the 17th century to the 20th century and was often used for public buildings. Latin literature was very influential in European literature until the mid-20th century

Rome does not have many high-rises compared to other major cities, as its historical and architectural regulations limit the height of new constructions. Most buildings are low-rise, preserving the city's ancient character and skyline. However, there are a few modern high-rise buildings, primarily in business districts, but they are exceptions rather than the norm. Overall, the city's emphasis on history and aesthetics keeps its skyline relatively low.

About the same size as some modern cities.

Ancient Rome has had an influence on our modern public works in several ways. Augustus sectioned the city into wards. Each ward had its contingent of firefighters who also acted as police. They had a water system which was maintained and monitered for illegal usage. Public buildings were maintained at state expense. All the above (and perhaps more) could be considered the forerunners of our preset day public works.

Rome had a large empire and her civilisation has had a strong influence of European culture.

The main legacies of the Romans are religion, the alphabet, language, the calendar, law, architecture and literature.

The calendar we use is the Gregorian calendar. It is named after the minor modifications made by the calendar instituted by Julius Caesar (Julian calendar) by Pope Gregory XII in 1582. Therefore, we basically use the Roman calendar. We also use translations of the Roman names for the months.

The Romans did when they settled on the Appennine Pinninsula around 1000 B.C.

The term the fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, rather than the city itself, which was never conquered. This was a process which took several decades. The process was determined by several factors. It was precipitated by the invasions by the Germanic peoples (the Vandals, the Sueves) and the Alans (who were Iranian speakers) who invaded the empire and took over north-western Africa and part of Spain, the Alemanni who took over Switzerland and northwester France and the Burgundians who settled in east France The loss of the agricultural rich territory in Africa lead to a significant loss in revenue for the Roman government. The Visigoths, another Germanic people, who had been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and then moved to south-western France, took advantage of the situation to take over Hispania (Spain and Portugal). The Romans lost political unity. There were usurpations and infighting which made it difficult to respond to the invasions effectively. There was also a failure by the combined fleet of the western and eastern part of the Roman Empire to dislodge the Vandals from Africa. It ended in disaster and was very costly. The Romans army became reliant on Germanic soldiers and two Germanic commanders-in chief of the Roman army and installed puppet emperors (three by Ricimer, one by Gundobad and one by Orestes. Amidst this political instability, the reign of the last emperors was short.

In the 1930s and 1940s, the term 'Rome-Berlin axis' referred to the partnership and eventual alliance between Germany and Italy. With both countries ruled by fascist parties and also occupying central positions in Europe, the 'Axis' was conceived of as the pivot-point, or key line, of world-domination -- at least, by the aggressive leadership of these countries.

No not really. Sparta had been on a long decline from power when it allied itself with The Roman Republic in the Punic Wars. Rome then afterwords forced Sparta, then with a population of around 700 citizens not counting Helots, into a league and invaded Greece through Sparta. So did the actually fight i do not believe so because eat this time Sparta was far to week to put up any real fight. If Rome had fought them back in Sparta's glory days though that sure would have been a battle to see.
