We were in Tokyo over New Year this year and had a great time visiting temples and the sales with the locals. The temples had a great atmosphere with lots of people, great food stalls and general feeling of everyone being happy and enjoying themselves.
Best Answer: The Roman Empire existed for about 1,000 years from the time of the finding of Rome (c. 753B.C.) until the sack of Rome by the Huns around 450. During its time it ruled to from England to Egypt, from Germany to Tunis. The Holy Roman Empire was started by Charlemagne and was centered in France.
The Romans did not rule the world. Their empire did not cover the whole world; in fact, most of the world was not then known. The Roman Empire covered western Europe up to the river Rhine and central Germany, the Balkan Peninsula (south-eastern Europe) the Middle East west of Iran and north of Saudi Arabia and the coast of North Africa.
