ROMAN EMPIRE
27 BC - AD 476
The Roman Empire continued where the
Roman Republic had left off.
Its first emperor was
Augustus
Caesar.
It later split into the
East Roman Empire, also called

West Roman Empire, or Western
Roman Empire.
The West Roman Empire gained new
momentum with
Charlemagne in 800 AD.
