The Roman Empire formally began in 27 BC when Octavian became Augustus, the first emperor, and its western half endured until 476 AD when the last emperor Romulus Augustulus was deposed — a span of over five centuries. During the Pax Romana (27 BC to 180 AD), the empire enjoyed roughly two centuries of relative peace and stability, enabling a population of 55-70 million people and trade networks stretching from Britain to Mesopotamia. Roman engineering achievements like the aqueduct system — which delivered over 1 million cubic meters of water to Rome daily — roads spanning 400,000 kilometers, and concrete structures like the Pantheon continue to influence architecture and civil engineering today.
