For centuries (of the II BC to the V after Christ) Rome was the capital of the empire that emerged in this city and was propagated to all of Italy and to the rest of the countries bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, as well as to others, where it was imposing its government , its laws, its customs, religion, language and art. This forced or voluntary imposition of the culture of Rome on other peoples is known as Romanization.
