    The Roman Empire spanned from 27 BC to 476 AD, starting in Rome and later centered in Constantinople. At its height under Trajan in 117 AD, it stretched from Britain to Mesopotamia. Latin was the official language until 610 when Greek became dominant after Constantinople replaced Rome as capital. The Empire was ruled by a monarchical system and went through major changes under emperors like Diocletian and Constantine before its western half fell in 476 AD and eastern half ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
