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 empire was the third stage of Ancient Rome. Rome was first ruled by Roman kings, then by the Roman Republic, then by an emperor. Many modern lands were once part of the Roman Empire, including Britain (not Scotland), Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Germany, Egypt, Levant, Crimea, and the north coast of Africa. The main language of the Roman Empire was Latin; Greek was an important secondary language.
