The Roman Empire was a large empire that existed in Europe for about eight centuries, starting several centuries before the birth of Jesus Christ. It was centred in the city of Rome, though it encompassed cities like Pompeii and Byzantium and had a presence as far as Cardiff, where a Roman fort was situated.
