Western Roman Empire

Western Roman Empire appears on the map from 395 to 475. At its greatest recorded extent, in 396, it covered about 2.13 million km².

One of the realms of Roman Empire. After a century of civil war, Octavian, Julius Caesar's heir, became Rome's first emperor as Augustus in 27 BCE, keeping the forms of the Republic while holding real power. The two centuries that followed, the Pax Romana, brought peace and prosperity to an empire that ringed the Mediterranean, linked by roads, a professional army, Roman law and Latin and Greek culture; in 212 almost all free inhabitants became citizens.
