Ancient Rome

Ancient Rome was originally an Italic settlement dating from the 8th century BC that grew into the
city of Rome and which subsequently gave its name to the empire over which it ruled and to the
widespread civilisation it developed. The Roman empire expanded to become one of the largest
empires in the ancient world, though still ruled from the city, with an estimated 50 to 90 million
inhabitants and covering 5.0 million square kilometres at its height in AD 117.
In its many centuries of existence, the Roman state evolved from a monarchy to a classical
republic and then to an increasingly autocratic empire. Through conquest and assimilation, it
came to dominate the Mediterranean region and then Western Europe, Asia Minor, North Africa,
and parts of Northern and Eastern Europe. It is often grouped into classical antiquity together
with ancient Greece, and their similar cultures and societies are known as the Greco-Roman
world.
Ancient Roman civilisation has contributed to modern government, law, politics, engineering, art,
literature, architecture, technology, warfare, religion, language and society. Rome
professionalised and expanded its military and created a system of government called res
publica, the inspiration for modern republics such as the United States and France. It achieved
impressive technological and architectural feats, such as the construction of an extensive system
of aqueducts and roads, as well as the construction of large monuments, palaces, and public
facilities.

ENVIRONMENT PROBLEM
Our environment is constantly changing. There is no denying that. However, as our
environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that
surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, different
types of weather patterns and much more, people need to be aware of what types of
environmental problems our planet is facing.

Global warming has become an undisputed fact about our current livelihoods; our
planet is warming up and we are definitely part of the problem. However, this isnt the only
environmental problem that we should be concerned about. All across the world, people are
facing a wealth of new and challenging environmental problems every day. Some of them
are small and only affect a few ecosystems, but others are drastically changing the
landscape of what we already know.

Our planet is poised at the brink of a severe environmental crisis. Current

environmental problems make us vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and in the
future. We are in a state of planetary emergency, with environmental problems piling up high
