Rome from legend to empire
According to legend, Rome was founded in 753 BC by Romulus, the first of seven kings. Over the next 250 years Rome grew from scattered huts into a city.
In 509 BC Rome became a republic, ruled by the Senate and people. By 200 BC, the republic had established control over the whole of Italy. In 146 BC it destroyed the powerful cities of Carthage in Tunisia, and Corinth in Greece - Rome now controlled the Mediterranean.
Looted Greek gold poured into Rome, but aristocrats competing for this wealth destabilized the republic, and civil war broke out. Julius Caesar re-established order, but was assassinated in 44 BC. His adopted son, Octavian, defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra of Egypt at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and became ruler of the republic. In 27 BC Octavian renamed himself Augustus, and the Roman Empire was born.
The empire, stretching across the Mediterranean lands and most of Europe, lasted over 400 years. The last western emperor was deposed in AD 476, but the empire survived in the east, as the Byzantine Empire, until AD 1453.

Title: Ancient Rome - City of Marble.
Order No.: A1-0726.
Location: Rome
Augustus boasted that he found Rome a city of brick and left it of marble.
Rome was mud and smoky skies; the rank smell of the Tiber and the exotically spiced cooking fires of a hundred different nationalities. Rome was white marble and gilding and heady perfumes; the blare of trumpets and the shrieking of market-women and the eternal, sub-aural hum of more people, speaking more languages that Gaius had ever imagined existed, crammed together on seven hills whose contours had long ago disappeared beneath this encrustation of humanity. Rome was the pulsing heart of the world.

Excellence!
"I’ve studied why that picture of the Duomo is so good, how even that exquisite lily gets well gilded. I see that you’ve caught the shadow at a critical point, the moment it darkens the plane on the left, with that time told as well by the darkening edge above, on the circle of the window and, curving then toward the sky, across the slope of the dome. So as well as about great architecture, the picture is about time and about physics; it moves and reveals. A fine snap indeed! ... among many".
