The Romans basically ganked everything from the Greeks. So yeah, they're very similar, but the Greeks came first.

the myth says that romulus and remus (the founders of rome) where descendants of eneas, who escaped from troy after the war. after the foundation, still under the first king romulus, following the "rape of the sabine women" romans and sabines (another italic people) united in one people. later, still during the kingdom of rome, some etruscans became kings and rome fell under etruscan influence.\nwhile it is kind of accepted that etruscans came from asia minor (more or less today's turkey) from the sea, the history of italic peoples (latins, sabines, etc) is still discussed. generally, they were all indoeuropeans that descended in italy from the north.

In the face of invasion, in the last years of the Roman Empire (421), a group of romans evacuated to an easily defensible group of islands in the Adriatic sea during the Goth invasion of Italy. Although there are no real records of the actual founding of tye settlement on the islands, the above is a widely accepted explanation.

There will be a too huge of a list of reasons, but still it was an early form of a democracy that was tested out and civilized the Roman Empire for a while, which includes a large amount of territory. Any time you have a decadent society and barbarian symbolizims accompanying a heathenistic world, there is so much conflict that it will refuse to be dicated too for the violence,death and blood shed it was built upon spreds as a virus where all of the others around you develop this same thought and now you have armies that pop up everywhere to defeat their conquerers after they weaken. In the case of Rome it was weakened when Pompeii waged war with Julius Caesar. Yes Julius built the Senate and conquered that known world then and when he wanted to settle in and develop a culture and fix the disease and famon in Rome (the city of light) the Senate would not tolerate this for they would have to give up the wealth that Julius had afforded them from War. They just figured he should just keep fighting and they would sit back and in lust and greed get fat off the profits. He received knowledge an inner peace to be content with what they had accomplished but they assasinated him. Anytime you have an assasination like that and a cruel ruler like Octavian who lusted and got fat off the people that was the beginning of the fall and they never recupperated from that until Marcus Aurelius, and then inevitably they were surviving on one thread. The well know enemies the Huns, Constatine, etc. surrounded and brought the demise of this once thought of good civilizations. Many people (rulers, senators, governors, military men) brought down the city of Rome. Rome never really developed but they had a good concept at first and then the corruption sets in just like our own government today. If you dont clean up your filth, feed your people, provide them with food and shelter, and let disease go rampid, all will fail. When you put people to death in a public display guilty or innocent it gives a bad example of the rulership of any government. No government will survive on terroristic, ruthless tactics ever. There is always someone bigger waiting in the shadows for the crack at the title.

The decline of the Roman Empire, also called the fall of the Roman Empire, is an historical term of periodization which describes the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. The term was first used in the 18th century by Edward Gibbon in his famous study The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, but he was neither the first nor the last to speculate on why and when the Empire collapsed. It remains one of the greatest historical questions, and has a tradition rich in scholarly interest. In 1984, German professor Alexander Demandt published a collection of 210 theories on why Rome fell[1].\n\nThe traditional date of the fall of the Roman Empire is September 4, 476 when Romulus Augustus, the Emperor of the Western Roman Empire was deposed. However, many historians question this date, and use other benchmarks to describe the "Fall". Why the Empire fell seems to be relevant to every new generation, and a seemingly endless supply of theories are discussed on why it happened, or indeed if it happened at all.\n\nMainstream theories\nMainstream theories about Rome's fall can be split into several general categories:\n\n"Declining empire" theories\nGenerally, these theories argue that the Roman Empire might have survived, but due to some combination of circumstances didn't. Some historians in this camp believe that Rome "brought it on themselves," i.e., ensured their own collapse by either misguided policies or degradation of character.\n\nVegetius\nThe historian Vegetius theorized and has recently been supported by the historian Arthur Ferrill that the Roman Empire declined and fell due to a combination of increasing contact with barbarians and the subsequent "barbarization", as well as a surge in decadence and the following lethargy. This resulted in complacency and ill-discipline among the legions, making it primarily a military issue.\n\nGibbon\nEdward Gibbon famously placed the blame on a loss of civic virtue among the Roman citizens. They gradually outsourced their duties to defend the Empire to barbarian mercenaries who eventually turned on them. Gibbon considered that Christianity had contributed to this, making the populace less interested in the worldly here-and-now and more willing to wait for the rewards of heaven.\n\nVon Mises\nLudwig von Mises argued that the inflation and the price controls promoted by the later emperors destroyed the economic system of the ancient world, this leading into hyperinflation, deterioration of the imperial economical basis and transfer to barter economy instead of a more advanced monetary economy. The theory assumes the hyperinflation combined with price controls undermined the economic system of the empire, and it simply went into bankruptcy, unable to pay its legions. The theory further argues that the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine empire) survived for over a millennium after the fall of the Western empire because of its smaller economic decline.\n\nRichta\nOn the other hand, some historians have argued that the collapse of Rome was outside the Romans' control. Radovan Richta holds that technology drives history. Thus, the invention of the horseshoe in Germania in the 200s would alter the military equation of pax romana, or a borrowing of the compass from its inventors in China in the 300s would also alter that equation.\n\n"Doomed from the start" theories\nIn contrast with the "declining empire" theories, historians such as Arnold J. Toynbee and James Burke argue that the Roman Empire itself was a rotten system from its inception, and that the entire Imperial era was one of steady decay of its institutions. In their view, the Empire could never have lasted. The Romans had no budgetary system. The Empire relied on booty from conquered territories (this source of revenue ending, of course, with the end of Roman territorial expansion) or on a pattern of tax collection that drove small-scale farmers into destitution (and on

this is the explanation of the downfall of Rome. they kept expanding the amount the land they occupied, much like how Hitler took over Europe one country at a time.\nwhen they took over each country, they had to use their forces to keep the peace. but if that country wasn't earning them a profit (through taxes, produce, etc), they spent more on controlling it than it was worth, so the areas started going bankrupt. the rich countries had to support the poor countries, which meant hard times for everyone.\nas the areas started going belly-up one by one, the savages around swooped in. the closer they got to Rome, the easier it was to attack the capitol. eventually, the city of Rome was set on fire by a band called the Visigoths. that marked the official end of the empire.

The Mughal Empire, (Persian: شاهان مغول) was an empire that at its greatest territorial extent ruled parts of what is today Afghanistan, Baluchistan and most of the Indian Subcontinent between 1526 and 1857. The empire was founded by the Timurid leader Babur in 1526, when he defeated Ibrahim Lodi, the last of the Delhi Sultans at the First Battle of Panipat. "Mughal" is the Persian word for "Mongol". The religion of the Mughals was Islam.
