             Another ancient civilization that controlled a large land area and made lasting contributions to the modern world comes from the Romans. The central area of the establishment of this empire was directly related to the success that would follow. The Romans did borrow much of their culture aspects from fellow establishments and from establishments that had existed previously in the general area. They were as developed as the ancient Greeks, whom they adopted methods and the studies of law, philosophy, and even their deities. It was the Romans who took the knowledge and built upon it to create a society that was far different than any that had previously existed. The Romans would master the fine arts they had inherited and also take the fields of study previously established and make them into practical applications. .
             The ancient Romans set up their first cities and colonies on a peninsula. This would give them control over the Mediterranean Sea and also close proximity to North Africa and a span covering modern day Europe. This position allow for flourishing livelihood due to a climate apt for farming, fishing, and citizens thriving. There was fertile land that could produce a harvest for the population and subsequently there was also a sea to supplement with other riches. This land area also exposed the ancient Romans to the other cultures in existence. This outside influence also gave the cushion for the people to reap the benefits and trials of other establishments. As stated previously, the Romans were able to borrow from the Greeks their study of philosophy, fine art methods, and legal system. This meant that the Romans simply had to study the knowledge and apply the information to their society. .
             Another strong reason why the Romans were able to take control of most of the area was the strength of their army. The Roman Army was regarded throughout the area as being the strongest of its kind.
