When most people think of the classical world, they imagine Rome. From humble beginnings, it grew to span three continents, assimilating the wealth and cultures of those it conquered. During the Republic, ad-hoc statecraft and meritocracy spawned fierce competition, spurring the professionalization of military and bureaucracy of the Empire. But cracks turned to chasms, and a foundering economy and repeated invasions brought Rome to collapse.
