    The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. It describes how Rome built great infrastructure like roads and aqueducts. It was originally a republic that was led by the Senate and emphasized citizenship, laws, and rights for citizens. Over time Rome grew weak due to its large size and internal problems. Barbarian tribes eventually invaded and sacked Rome in 476 AD, marking the fall of the Western Roman Empire. However, the Eastern part continued as the Byzantine Empire based in Constantinople until it was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
