The Roman Empire (27 BC - 476 AD in the West; continued in the East until 1453 AD) - Starting as a republic, Rome became an empire under Augustus. It's remembered for its law, architecture, and military prowess. The Western part collapsed due to internal decay and invasions, while the Eastern part, known as the Byzantine Empire, lasted until Constantinople fell to the Ottomans.
