$ 12319 / $ 18000In this gallery, we examine the evolution of the Roman Empire through 10 detailed maps. From Julius Caesar's victories to the splitting of the empire, these maps trace the geographical growth, the intricate trade network, and the spread of Christianity in one of history's most durable and influential cultures.
The Roman Empire, at its height (c. 117), was the most extensive political and social structure in Western civilization. Building upon the foundation laid by the Roman Republic, the empire became the largest and most powerful political and military entity in the world up to its time and expanded steadily until its fall in the West in 476.
