Interesting tidbit that I did not know until very recently: the ancient Roman word for "wolf", as in: the wolf who Romulus and Remus were suckled from _also_ means "prostitute". So there is some debate as to whether the truth of the myth is that the boys were found and raised by a she-wolf, or if they were found and raised by a prostitute. Obviously a wolf is far more badass than a prostitute so clearly that's the option one would choose to go with. But I just thought that was an interesting fact.

Rome wasn't just an empire it goes far beyond that to a powerful civilization with amazing building architect and technology that built her structure and foundation from a tiny settlement to a republic to an empire but without powerful strong skillful leaders such as Augustus, Julius Caesar, Scipio, Camillius, Pompey, Crassus, Germanicus Trajan, Marcus Aurelius, Vespasian, and Titus Rome would've have never prospered or pushed beyond it's reach or have the organized professional militarized army that ruled and subjugated ruled half the known world

To all you guys not thinking that Rome was the world's first superpower....The Roman Empire-which reached the height of its power in the second century-was by far the dominant power in most of the ancient world. Though its power did not reach as far as India and China, the Roman Empire’s prowess was unquestioned in the Middle East and Europe. It covered almost all the major population centers and civilizations of antiquity, including Greece, Egypt, the Levant, Carthage, Anatolia and Italy. The population of the Roman Empire at its peak was about 60 million, dwarfing all its neighbors and comprising a large portion of the world’s population. The empire’s size meant that it did not need to trade much except to acquire luxury resources (silk, lapis, spices, incense and so on). The empire was by far militarily dominant over its neighbors, with the partial exception of the only major organized state that bordered it- Persia, whose power was still nowhere equal to Rome’s. While Roman legions could and did ravage Persia’s heartlands, there was no chance that a Persian army could reach Rome. Rome’s legions were essentially undefeatable in pitched battles with its enemies. Rome ultimately fell not because of external threats, but due to continuous civil war, economic depredations and an over-reliance on mercenaries. You also have to think of all the engineering, roads, standard currency, laws etc.

Im baffled by some of the comments, here. The last Etruscan king invented the senate, and implemented the first census.The Etruscan people invented the aqueducts systems, the architecture of the period, and so on.. They taught the romans everything they knew, then were killed and driven out by them. The Romans borrowed, stole and or absorbed their power and knowledge from others. To say that they were the best, or the first, at anything is ridiculous. Hatchepsut did more for her people 3000 years before these guys showed up.

@hansmahr8627

'The Romans borrowed, stole and or absorbed their power and knowledge from others.' That's what great civilizations have always done. Even the Egyptians took a lot of their ideas from the Sumerians and vice versa. It's one of the main reasons why the Mediterranean and the Middle East produced so many great civilizations: they all learned from each other. In fact it was precisely their ability to absorb so much knowledge and so many techniques and ideas from other cultures that made the Romans so successful. Also, while they were not the greatest innovators (except when it comes to administration and law), they were responsible for many advances in many different fields of knowledge. I mean it's one thing to say that there are other great civilizations or that people put the Romans on too much of a pedestal, but to say that their civilization wasn't extremely impressive and advanced compared to most other civilizations at the time is ludicrous. You just need to take a look at the city of Rome at its peak: no other city could compare, it was the first real metropolis with over a million inhabitants and it would take almost a thousand years until another city reached that level again. Everything in the city was extremely sophisticated, the administration, the sewer system, the water supply, the architecture, its political culture, etc. And of course when it came to the management of their empire, Rome certainly was better than everyone else: while the other superpowers that came before them completely subjugated the people they conquered, Rome offered them the chance to become Roman citizens (although they certainly had to endure their fair share of oppression until then) which is one of the main reasons why pretty much every region that was a former province of Rome was massively influenced by it in almost every aspect of life. You can still see that influence today. Basically, Rome didn't invent most of the things they are known for, but they perfected them and brought them to a height that was completely unheard of at the time (China is, like always, an exception here). To claim otherwise reveals a lack of knowledge about ancient history. I also find it really weird how many people seem to have an attitude towards history and especially towards specific civilizations that is more appropriate in the context of sports teams: 'the Romans are fucking weak, the Egyptians are better', 'go Etruscans'.

O sucesso de Roma foi devido à inclusão das novas culturas dos povos conquistados e na melhoria das condições de vida desses povos. A existência de escravos e os costumes que hoje consideramos deshumanidade eram comuns na época em todos os povos, e continuam presentemente em determinadas regiões do planeta. Mas no império romano um escravo podia ganhar a sua liberdade e a dos seus descendentes. O dinamismo comercial, militar, social e cultural era mais construtivo que destrutivo o que levou a maior aceitação da cultura romana entre os povos conquistados, presentemente alguns hábitos perduram na cultura ocidental.

I have heard many people say that Rome was the "largest" or "greatest" empire that had ever existed, as if they actually have vast knowledge about the worlds entire history. Sufficient evidence exists to show that very large and intelligent civilizations indeed existed thousands of years before Rome, civilizations that put the USA and Rome to crying shame. In reality, 1% of actual history is known, at best. Any logical person would surmise that historical records are bias, inaccurate, and largely deficient. To make a such a bold and defining statement titling the "greatest" or "largest" is nothing short foolish, presumptuous, and narcissistic. Such statements ironically only prove them untrue. These reckless assertions should be exposed for the despicable lies that they are.

Rome WAS the worlds first superpower peirod. At first they were ruled by divine kings, then they became a republic (perhaps their greatest period) before finally becoming an empire. How a group of farmers, who started off fending wolves to protect their livestock, eventually became the greatest empire in all history is the stuff of legends. Coupled with an excellent military and administrative system, the Roman Empire, or rather ancient Rome, is also one of the longest-lasting. Ancient Rome contributed greatly to the development of law, war, art, literature, architecture, technology, religion and language in the Western world. In fact many historians consider the Roman Empire to be a perfect empire - influential, fair, long-lasting, big, well defended and economically advanced. The influence of the Roman Empire is felt to this day, if for no other reason than the influence on the Catholic Church, which took much of its administrative nous and pageantry from it.

Anyone from the Etruscans to the Celts that occupied the area before Rome even decided to build the Appian, the area has a 14,000 year span of occupation so who knows definitively. The Early history of Rome itself is shrouded considering its been sacked a number of times. One thing you'll notice about standard mainstream archaeologists is their very quick conclusion to attributing "endless slaves" and "romans" to pretty much anything of significant in scale spanning from Spain to Turkey(most people would buy that). Then they'll say carbon dating proves it when you cant carbon date stone, but surrounding carbon based organic materials which isn't exactly proof. Even still carbon dating carries a wide margin of error, essentially rendering it as accurate as a lie detector test. I get my info from a wide span of researchers and archaeologists over centuries , Before you even look into archaeology, you should research chronology, and Isaac Newton wrote several volumes about how our dating is very skewed as a result of historical revisionism over centuries of false data coming from the Catholic monks like Joseph Scaliger and Jose de Acosta. for example The Donations of Constantine upon which the Catholic Church base their legal existence has been proven a forgery. So it begs the question , what else did they forge, seeing as they basically wrote western history as we know it, and burned many many books and libraries during the "dark ages".

True, the Egyptians were arount WAY before Romans. However they NEVER had the scope and span of empire as Rome. The Egyptains were never a global (at that time) superpower. Rome was the worlds first super power period.

@@claywarner7429 I disagree, if you were to go back in time and observe the Egyptians for 3000 years, I'm pretty sure that you would say, they were the first world power...3000 years>1000+ years. But we can agree to disagree.

It does not matter, and no I wouldn't say that. What we know of our history, it is a fact that Rome was the world's first superpower. Just read any history book, or simply google it. The Egyptians didn't hardly leave the Levant. Just look at any map comparing the two empires and you will see. The Egyptians were more of a regional power, nothing more.

>The romans were in one region and you call it a global empire, When Scythians covered the entirety of Eurasia >The phoenicians actually travel the world and to you thats not a global empire >Egyptian mummies have been found with cocaine and nicotine in their, which are plants from the Americas. funny how you think Alexander and the greeks going all the way to India is Graham Hancock based history, at least hes willing to debate unlike the actual head of your standard egyptology Zahi Nawass. Standard history is bullshit because for centuries tards like you cant stop whimpering THE GLORY OF ROME to yourself while you jerkoff.

Well as you have stated here and in other treads, you obviously think what you want to, by whom ever says it. You have no true grasp of history AT ALL. Why not just say aliens did it all, it's the same as you grasping at straws. So their is no reson to even talk to "tards" like you. Grow up, learn more. Then speak.

Gods enemies who will get no salvation.

If the title is fake then this channel tells lies in its own name. No truth about this being the first super power. Try the Sythians, Tartarians, The Sea People or The Egyptians.

Draco invictus.

Boy is this inaccurate. There were many empires that rivaled Rome before. Did we suddenly forget the Persians?

Rome was not the world's first super power. You had Persia, Babylon, etc.

The worlds first superpower? ahmmmmmm

How long until this gets band as the Romans had plenty of slaves. Need to tear down the Colosseum and never use any quotes or refer to teaching by any of the Roman scholars or Greek philosophers for that matter. Oh dear! I’ve just realised that we cannot learn about any ancient culture and must destroy all the buildings and statues because they were racist.

If you were a Roman citizen, you weren’t discriminated, regardless of skin color. If you weren’t a citizen, you were a barbarian or a salve.

Egypt anyone? The Assyrians? These empires were dominating the "known world" centuries before Rome was even a village

Egypt didn't dominate anything apart from the area around the Nile. The Romans have done what not a single other power has ever been able to do since..... Control the entirety of the Mediterranean

Egypt was the first and the longest superpower. 3000+ years and some say as old as 7000

They were not the first or the longest. The Egyptian system was inherited from the Atlantean system

Fourthaeon and that has not been proven and there is no evidence they really existed. Only speculation and not one artifact

Uh incorrect, Atlantis for one is the reason we call the Atlantic Ocean just that, many architectural, genetic, and cultural evidence of Atlantean system is found in Europe. Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Atlantis is as much of a "speculation" as precolombian transoceanic contact. It's just not mainstream history channel , so people call it speculation or just a theory or myth. Which is absurd once the evidence is compiled and presented.

Fourthaeon where is the proof it ever existed. Just like Columbus discovered America

Roman Empire lasted a lot longer than a thousand years. Byzantines were Romans. Every historian and emperor of the time referred to them as Romans. The term "byzantines" was incorrectly created by historian Wolf. If you refer to your channel as "truth" then please get it right. Historian Wolf had no right to change their name from Roman to byzantines when they themselves called themselves western Rome
