Italy
Italia is the center of the Roman Republic. Since Classical times, Greeks, Etruscans, Latins, and Phoenicians have inhabited and left their mark on Italy. The most famous of them were the tribe of Latins who later became known as the Romans. This group spread throughout Italy and throughout Europe. Conquering and assimilating their neighbors, the Roman Republic was one of the largest ancient civilizations. In the heart of this expansive empire was the capital city, Rome, which became the cultural, political, and religious center of Western civilization, rivaling Athens itself. The Roman world is still very much alive in the modern world in many ways, ranging from art styles, architecture, science, law, philosophy, government, and language.
