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 the Eastern Roman Empire or the Byzantine Empire, and the West Roman Empire, or Western Roman Empire.

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


And here is a map of the Roman Empire, Eastern and Western, in the 4th Century:
