"Those Who Do Not Remember the Past Are Condemned to Repeat It” George Santayana-American Philosopher

Roman Empire was a powerful civilization that ruled for nearly 1,000 years. The legacy of the Roman Empire has been varied and significant. The Roman Empire, itself built upon the legacy of other cultures, has had long-lasting influence with broad geographical reach on a great range of cultural aspects, including state institutions, law, cultural values, religious beliefs, technological advances, engineering, and language.

The history of the Roman Empire offers many lessons for modern times, particularly in the areas of leadership, governance, cultural identity, and effective institutions. Since the fall of the Roman Empire was due primarily to the crumbling and diminishing of everything that made Rome great and a powerful and admiring empire in the first place. Additionally, political instability and corruption worsen the situation, and made the empire unable to address the economic and social challenges that it faced.

This lesson is particularly relevant in today’s world, and this book presents similarities between the current American society and Ancient Rome. The similarities that today’s American society shares with ancient Rome are enormous, and there are significant parallels between the two empires, just before the eventual fall.
