Ancient Civilizations: ROME - Land and Resources of Ancient Rome

Product Description

In ancient times, Rome was much more than a city in Italy. It was an empire. It began as a city in the eight century B.C. However, by 27 B.C., the ancient Romans had conquered all of what is now Italy, southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The land and resources of Italy were important to the Roman Empire. Rome's large areas of fertile land allowed the ancient Romans to grow much of the food that they needed.
