I have a project on how Rome became a great empire. I would like to get started and would like a quick overview of the Roman empire and I have 5 questions that I would like to get answered in detail to get me started in my project. If any outside sources are used please provide citation. I have attached a source.
a) How did the ancient Romans describe their origins?
b) How did the Roman Republic function ?
c) What were the priorities of the Roman Republic?
d) How does the Roman Republic compare to the American Republic?
