You ever wonder how our great Rome got to be so, well, great.
Why, yes I have. Care to hear the story about how we became such a glorious empire and what empires are as a whole?
Why are we here of all places?
I see, so how did we grow from tiny village to an empire?
You see boy, no empire starts off all big and strong, they were all just small settlements in the beginning.
We're about to get to that
You're telling me that this is how Rome got to where it is?!
Why are those soldier's attacking this village?!
Well, you see, you don't become an empire by just sitting around and doing nothing. You must conquer those around you to increase your size and spread your culture and beliefs
Yes, the expansion of most empires comes with such conflict
Why are we in Egypt?
From the Iberian Peninsula to the Nile and beyond. Empires can unite people of all different races and beliefs
To show you that empires, such as Rome, incorporate people of many different origins under one banner
Why are we back in Rome?
As the empire grew and the culture spread, those conquered peoples slowly became more and more like their conquerors.
This isn't Rome. This is that village that I showed you earlier. The one that was conquered
Is this the end of our journey?
Yes, I've taught you all I can about Rome and Empires as a whole. They take over lands of many different peoples and rule over them.
And, as you can see, as Rome expanded to this size, it never lost its identity. An empire must never lose its identity as it grows larger and larger.
