How did Rome influence the modern western world?
culture, innovation, politics but the Muslim empire and Greeks (who were great influences in philosophy and medicine on the Muslims and religion and pilitics to the Romans) were also crucial to the inception of civilised Europe. The legacy of Rome is very important even today because we still use some parts of their culture and ideas to make our lives easier and better. One thing that we use is that the language of the Romans (Latin) is one of the primary bases of English. Over half of the words in English have a basis in Latin. Latin also evolved into many Romance languages. One of Rome's most widespread and longest lasting contribution to today's society is their law. Romans were some of the first to recognize certain standards of justice. The believed that laws should be fair and apply equally to all people. The basics of Roman law are still around today in the structures of many legal systems including the USA. Other things that the Romans contributed are great paintings, great sculptures and great literature. Romans also contributed architecture that was not only useful but beautiful as well like the Coliseum. Many large public buildings in the USA include Roman features such as the US Capitol. Roman roads were also great. Some roads built by the Romans are still in use today. Another great contribution by the Romans is the idea of a republic and a senate. Today in the US we have a Congress instead but the Romans contributed greatly to the Democratic style of government. Romans also contributed the Julian calendar and some festivals like Christmas and carnivals. Although Romans did not invent winemaking they did make it a tradition in many areas including many Mediterranean countries.

Until the early 20th century the Romans also influenced architecture and sculpture and painting (Renaissance and Neoclassical architecture and sculpture and paintings were based on Greco-Roman models). Neoclassicism was also popular in the US. Latin poets and Roman mythology influenced European literature and to some extent the American one. The ideal of the Roman Republic influenced the ideals of the American Constitution.
English alphabet, like the alphabets of all western European languages is an adaptation of the latin alphabet. Many words in English also have Latin roots. This occurred in two main ways. One was that Latin was the language of the church and a language used by the educated elites. This led to the introduction of Latin words, some of which have retained their original form. The other was that with the conquest by the Normans from France, French became the language of the court and through this, many French words, whose origin is Latin, entered the English language.

Rome's First Period of Expansion began in 509 B.C.E. when the Romans drove the last Etruscan king out of power.
The first period of large scale expansion was the first phase of Rome's conquest of Italy in the interwar years between the 2nd ad 3rd Samnite Wars (304-298 BC) and the 3rd of these wars (298-290 BC). In the former Rome forced the Sabellic peoples of central Italy into alliances. By the end of the latter, Rome had taken control of and had alliances in the whole of central Italy, except from Etruria, and the present day regions Campania and Lucania in the south.
There was expansion, though far more limited than this, under the kingdom. This was in old Latium, the area around Rome. At the beginning of the republic (which begun in 509 BC) Rome had to defend herself against the attacks from Sabines, Aequi, and Volsci. It was not until the 380s BC that they became expansionist again by taking the Pomptine region, an area in the south of today's Lazio. There was expansion from the Pomptine to Naples from the first to the second Samnite wars (343--304 BC).

After the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, central Italy and Rome came under the rule of the eastern part of the Roman Empire which formed the Exarchate of Ravenna in a big part of central Italy (540-751). In 754 the Frankish king Pepin the Younger, in an alliance with the pope, descended into Italy from France, ended the rule northern Italy by the Lombard invaders, drove them out from territories they had conquered from the Exarchate of Ravenna (the area around the city of Rome, and part of central Italy) and donated it to the papacy. The popes became rulers of the city of Rome and these areas of central Italy which were then called the Papal States.
The Romans had a monarchy for 244 years (573-509 BC) a republic for 482 years (509-27 BC) and rule by emperors for 503 years (27 BC-476 AD).
Because there was a lot of wood used in construction. Fire was a major concern in ancient cities and Rome was no exception. In addition to the flimsy wooden construction of many buildings, many of the general population was unaware of the flammability of the combination or certain materials under certain conditions.
